Foobar User Guide?

Hello. First up thanks for the excellent player, very refreshing to see such a customizable and powerful utility. Secondly I have been having a lot of trouble with the database (very simple problem of not being able to add enteries!) and was wondering if there was a user guide around which I could check for this. I have searched these forums and looked at the FAQ's but haven't been able to find anything which helps my problem.

Anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks.

Just to add a description to what the problem is:

enabled the Database feature.
set the restricted dirs to: "d:\;C:\_incoming\[ Mp3z ]\"  (that exact term including the double quotes).
left the restricted file types to: *
saved settings
restarted foobar
added the dir C:\_incoming\[ Mp3z ]\ to my play list.

Problem is that nothing is now showing up in the album list. Can anyone point out what I am missing or doing wrong here?

Thanks.

Leave out the quotation marks for the restricted directory. That should fix it.
That's so plausible, I can't believe it.

No biggie.    You're not the first to do that, and probably not the last.
