Sometimes you just want to play the file in windows explorer, not add it to your playlist / collection.
I think there should be a feature (perhaps a new command line arguement) where foobar will load the file and play it without adding it to the playlist.
This way I can remove windows media player and use foobar to preview tunes i double click in explorer.
Full Version: Suggestion-Play file w/o playlist via cmd line
With foo_utils installed, try running
If you want that as double-click action, replace <path> with "%1" and add the full path to foobar2000.exe (in Explorer file type options).
The command will fail silently (i.e. do nothing), if the file you pass contains multiple tracks.
CODE
foobar2000.exe /context_command:"Play" <path>
If you want that as double-click action, replace <path> with "%1" and add the full path to foobar2000.exe (in Explorer file type options).
The command will fail silently (i.e. do nothing), if the file you pass contains multiple tracks.
