Trying to use FB2K a bit more and am stumped by the following. See how The Smiths tracks do not follow the "typical" format. I have tried re-tagging them to no avail. Any ideas??

Seems like the directory contains "single" so they're assumed as single tracks.

Hi,

New to Foobar here, but I love your azrael setup. I want to know how to set up an album art box like you have in your screenshot. I have cover art ready. Am I mising a plugin, or what code do I need to use? 

--thnx

Yes you need the albumart plugin by Rexy
Get it: Here

I have
1) removed the Azrael 5.6.6 release (0.9, 1.3 mod)
2) Moved Azrael Light to its own thread

Hi Neksus:

I did a little modifications in your config...I hope that it does not bother to you smile.gif

The changes.

Albums with %album artist% are displayed like various

Added [CD%disc%] in album

Leght and time elapsed in title column (more dinamic for long titles and lenghts)

Bonus, artist various and lenght take the colour of selectedtext or playingtext

Added $puts(album,XXXXXX) in color_scheme and $set_global(album,$get(album)) in Settings global color to make possible change album and artist text colour in Artist column (I suppose you forget added it because is present in previous releases...)

And a minimalist colour_scheme in black,white and grey

Here is a screenshot:

The color schemes from 10 to 19 are not working.
ColumnsUI just displays white background with black text.

And finaly the Album Artist tag is integrated. smile.gif

But as always a great config! My favourite since beginning!
Keep up the good work!

Oops! Sorry biggrin.gif

First, the praise: I absolutely love this scheme and I've never really used anything else with Columns UI since I found your first FCS back near the inception of the whole FCS trading craze.

Second, I don't know if you're taking suggestions, but there's two modifications I've made to your scheme that I liked having. I have a directory for singles just like I'm guessing you do, so extrapolating single tracks based on the directory structure isn't a bad idea . . . except I run into a significant problem when the album name has 'single' in it! So I changed the condition to be that 'single' was in the directory structure and not in the album name. Worked well for me.

Secondly, I make a distinction in my tagging scheme that others may not make. Both 'album artist' and 'various' imply a various artist CD, but I try to make them mutually exclusive with 'album artist' taking precedence if they both exist. For me, 'album artist' means one person did most of the CD or featured most prevalently in it, but there were contributing artists of note. 'Various' means that the whole CD is just a grab bag.

So what I do when listing the titles from an 'is_various' album is I check if the 'artist' field is equivalent to the 'album artist' field and if it is, I don't display it. Since the album artist is already displayed as the disc owner, and any time there is an additional/different artist they're displayed, I feel there's no ambiguity and it removes the redundancy of the artist name appearing 10 times and only not appearing 3/4.

Just a couple thoughts! Keep up the good work, you're awesome biggrin.gif

Sounds reasonable enough, but I don't use the album artist tag at all!
And if a cd contains more then one artist it is a various in my eyes!
Can you give me an example of a cd which has 3/4 of the songs by one artist and the 1/4 of various artists?

I have a problem with the Various Artist recognition. My azreal 5.6.6 (foobar 0.8.2) doesnt recognize them unless they are put in a playlist with only VA albums. If they are not they just show like random singles.

Is there any solution to this?

Can you give me an example of a cd which has 3/4 of the songs by one artist and the 1/4 of various artists?


Basically, a various album to me is a compilation, with a different big name for each track. The situation where I use album artist is where a CD might have a few tracks with duets with other well-known artists, or a guest track, or something. I want the supporting artist/s included in an additional artist tag, but when I do my automatic sorting by albums I need to sort by the album artist, the person who's actually in charge of the work.

This occurs a lot in soundtracks. For instance, in the soundtrack from Flubber, there are 18 tracks. 17 are done by Danny Elfman, and the 18th track is done by KC & The Sunshine Band. Now I want KC to get their credit (for whatever that's worth), but it's really, really clear that Danny Elfman is the album artist. Just because KC did one track does not make it a various artist album.

In a lot of soundtracks (where I use album artist the most), there will be one person who did the vast majority of the work and then a notable for 1-4 tracks or so. But also I'll give an artist tag to big names who feature in something, so that I can find those tracks if I want to. For example when Ray Charles features in Billy Joel's Baby Grand. The album still belongs to Billy, but Ray is certainly an artist to note on the track. So I want to acknowledge the support of other artists either in feature roles or in a few included tracks as in soundtracks, but the album belongs to one person.

Does that make sense? It might be peculiar to the way I treat album artist, but to me the reason to use 'album artist'='artist name' intead of 'various'=1 is because the album is predominately one artist and you want to have a way to recognize which person that is. Otherwise, 'various'=1 is much more economical.

Well I would just add the guest artist name to the end of the title with feat. 'name' or something like that!
Actually I normally don't have any reference to guest artists.
Because I really don't care about them!

In the other case (soundtrack) I can see you point.
The question is if you are the only one using the tags like that or not!

I have a question regarding a formatting.

Im using the latest azreal and its great, the only thing that i would like to do is to 'force' an album mode for designated %album% values where those files dont have a %tacknumber% value.

for instance I have over 300 Essential Mixes. in aevery one the %album%=Essential Mix. they all have different %artist% values and dont have any tracknumbers. I would like for all the files with this album value to go into Album mode, with BBC Radio 1, or Various Artists as the artist, and Essential Mix in the album.

Is there a way to force album mode, kind of the opposite to force single mode with out having to auto tracknumber all the files.

I have tried everything i can comprehend (which unfortuneately isnt much at this point) and havent had any luck.

Well since my album mode is built on tracknumbering I would say no!
You could try to code some sort of auto/guessing/hacking thingy when the album is Essential Mixes!
But I don't think I'm going for it!

Thanks for this awnser biggrin.gif
But I'm using foobar 0.9 beta 5 & ui_columns-0.1.3-pa12...
In fact, I installed foobar 0.9 after deleting foobar2000 & his folder in application data". Then, I put "msvcp71.dll" &"msvcr71.dll" in foobar main folder, and "foo_ui_columns.dll" in components folder.
I ran this program, then i choosed columns ui as interface module.
In the options of ui_columns, I imported the modified file of azrael.fcs, then I clicked on "saveall" button but nothing changed !!
But if i'm using a non-modified version of azrael.fcs, it works perfectly...
Any idea ?

Thanks, I like the default color scheme, but is the currently playing track supposed to have a "0" added to the number when you select another song? Play a song, click another song without playing it and the currently playing one has a zero added to both its list and track number. Seems strange to me, not sure if its a bug in 5.7 RC2

Stupid question.... And I swear I tried to figure it out on my own and tried to find the answer before I asked:

How do I pick my color scheme in azrael? I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've gone into globals and I don't have the first clue what to do from there.
