Hello,
When I started more actively listening to web radios with foobar, I stumbled across a problem that the formattings that I have for playlist doesn't quite work for radio stations. The problem is that with web radios, there isn't much use for artist- and album-tag which are quite important for normal mp3's. Only title-tag matters. I want to keep the existing formatting for every other playlist and create a formatting of it's own for the tab where I keep my web radio stations. The existing formatting is almost like the default formatting, meaning that there is 4 columns; song-number and artist, title, album and tracknumber and finally songlength. What I want for the web radio tab, is 2 columns; song-number and title (1. column) and format.
Is this possible without any alternative UIs? I searched for something like this, but found nothing.

well you can do that if i think i know what you're talking about
go into the columns and select "hide on playlists: xxx" where the xxx's are put radio or whatever you have as your tab, also then just make new columns and select the option "show only on playlists: xxx" again where the xxx's are input radio or whatever you have as your tab that you want only to show that specific column
@spaceships: your suggestion works great if you're using the columns UI, but disi didn't want to use that.
@disi: you can use something like:
where 'webradio' is the name of the playlist you use to store your radio stations, and then you only need to replace the lines that start with "//" with your desired code. Make sure you keep the comma in the middle and the last paranthese. Hope that helps.
@disi: you can use something like:
CODE
$if($strcmp(%_playlist_name%,'webradio'),
// code to display for web radio playlist
,
// code to display for normal playlists
)
// code to display for web radio playlist
,
// code to display for normal playlists
)
