Thanks again to the guys that helped me with my database question. Here are a few more:
1) Is there a way to add albums manually to the database? I did a scan, but it left a couple of albums out. Looking back, these were copies I had made, not the originals (I do have the original, just too lazy to get them from my kids).
2) I browsed the Foobar Gallery and was impressed. What do I need to get my Foobar to look like those?
3) As far as lyrics go, am I mistaken in assuming there is a way to display them? How is this accomplished?
4)Can FB2000 make a MP3 disc?
5) How can I obtain and enable album art?
Thanks,
Phil from Loreauville

If your database is enable any album that you enqueue in fb2k will be added to it. So simply drag and drop your files or folders that seem to be missing on to Foobar2000 and voila they should be added to the db.

Basically you will need Columns UI and import one of the premade configurations by people into it. There is an import function in the preferences. Some of these configs use extra panels that you will need to download and configure seperately. Might seem quite a bit of work in the beginning, but at least that way you will get to know FB2K a bit.

I think there is a way to display them in case you have them. I have no exact idea how though since I do not use lyrics. Probably best to do a forum search on that.

4)Can FB2000 make a MP3 disc?
No foobar2000 can only burn audio cds from mp3 and all other supported file types. You will need to have Nero installed for that feature though and the foo_burninate component.

5) How can I obtain and enable album art?
You will need the album art panel for Columns UI and configure it according to where you keep your album art image files. You will need to get the actual image files through other sources though. I think there are some small programs that can download them for you. Or you could scan in your CD covers, etc.
