Hey dude, mind sharing your config?!

Well, a substantial revision to my setup thanks to several contributions. First, I have been working with Russel777 on designing the newest version of his track info mod home stereo code Ver. 1.8 VIP which I find ideal for my configuration. An extra, extra special thanks needs to go out to him for both creating such an incredible display and being so good at supporting it by accomodating numerous requests. In this regard, I use a slight modifcation of his released code (aside from removing the time based rating decreasing code) by substituting the track number display with a display indicating whether follow the cursor during playback has been activated. For those who want to do the same, replace the following last few lines of the play pause tracknumber portion of his code:

$alignabs($sub(%_width%,526),$div(%_height%,5),%_width%,%_height%,,)
$font(7 Segment,$get(size),$get(font_options),250-250-250)
$if($get(display_back),$get(back)$char(56)$char(56),)
$alignabs($add($sub(%_width%,526),$get(f6)),$div(%_height%,5),%_width%,%_height%,,)
$get(active)$get(6)
$alignabs($add($sub(%_width%,526),$get(f7),$get(s)),$div(%_height%,5),%_width%,%_height%,,)
$get(active)$get(7)

WITH:

$alignabs($sub(%_width%,514),$add($div(%_height%,5),6),%_width%,%_height%,,)
$font(wingdings 3,9,,250-250-250)
#LINEHEIGHT,9#
$if(%cwb_followcursor%,$get(active),$get(back))$char(113)$char(10)
$alignabs($sub(%_width%,524),$add($div(%_height%,5),21),%_width%,%_height%,,)
$font(lcdmono2,7,bold,250-250-250)$get(active)
$if(%cwb_followcursor%,CURSOR)

Also, a thanks needs to go out to Alla for creating the buttons and adding a stop button for me which you can get here.

Anyway, here it is:

(Edit: The big buttons were just too hudge so went with a smaller size

Argh my foobar is shrinking!!!!

For someone who used to maximise foobar until it got an eating disorder Ive really slimmed it down.
The reduction in size is down mainly to terrestrials 2 beautiful plugins foo_uie_trackinfomod and foo_uie_singlecolumnplaylist and Russel and Mazys work on those respectively. Also Ive combined my artist art and album art panels into one and got them doing a little slideshow thing. Much nicer

For now Ive just copied mazys code from the thread but I do plan on altering the colour scheme to fit the rest of the window and maybe addiing a selection box but for now its so beautiful im happy to look at it for a while

This is the closest to perfection Ive had with a design in a long while. Thanks to all I stole from

edit: PS terrestrial, would my dreams ever come true so you make foo_albumlist_mod with all the pretty stuff you've incorporated into the two previous plugins? *prays*

Hello to all,
I'm using foobar for almost a two years now and realy it opened my ears

I'm always looking for something on this forum, it's very informative, and I asked myself, why not to register... I use foobar for everything music related these days.
Anyway, this is my version of foobar with uisinglecolumn plugin. Thanks to peolpe that explain and share code and to all involved in this community...and of course the developers of foobar and all the plugins

here it is:

thanks again...

Try naming them Artist[year]Album.png

I found a little bug in tool's config. If the song file is over 10mb, the config will show a random number like 1,xxmb.

Looks nice. What coding did you use to make it gradually fade each track? I think it would look better if it went from light in the beginning to darker in the middle and then light again at the end so it wouldn't just suddenly change after each album, but that's just me. I realize that the way you have it makes it easy to tell where new albums start, but you could easily do that with a black (or other color) line going across.

That'll give you the path to the folder the currently playing song is in. Just replace album.jpg with what your's is named. That's if your folders with music are in different folders all over the place. If they are all in different folders but all the folders are in one folder (such as c:\music\artist - album) then you can just use

CODE

%directoryname%\album.jpg

Here's a demonstration. I'm searching for the term "matchbox". look at the results for the song Matchbox by jonny lang, and the listing of the albums by Matchbox 20.

Sep 15 2006, 20:23

I'm looking to achieve an extremely simple and minimalist look for my foobar and so far came up with this formatting for the playlist:

$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,2),'01'),$rgb(0,0,0)%artist% )
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,2),'01'),$rgb(0,0,255)<%album%> )
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,2),'01'),$rgb(0,0,0)%title%$repeat($rgb(0,0,255)$char(9472),40))
$if($greater(%TRACKNUMBER%,1),$rgb(0,0,0) %artist% - %title%)
$tab()%_length%

It's very close to what I want, but it'll be even better if I could somehow show the artist and album name at a line above the very first track of that album, i.e.

ARTIST - ALBUM
ARTIST - SONG1
ARTIST - SONG2....
ARTIST2 - ALBUM2
ARTIST2 - SONG1...

Any ideas..?

But one question, and I havent the slightest clue how.

I have tons of hour long mixes, with multiple songs in them, and I was wondering if there was some way to show the track listing for the current mix playing, I would figure it is possible, but I dont know even where to start.

Etc?

I guess my album art pic, but that's designed for my wallpaper so there's no real point.

Here's the overlay thing that gives shit shineyness though:

I agree. Very slick, tool. The part the intrigues me most is how you have the album art showing next to each album. Good idea. I'd do that but I like the album art having a larger area so I can see it better.

Also, I prefer that none of the words be cut off due to limited space. I'd suggest that you make the panels on the left wider, but then I see that the same information is also in a header for each album, so I'd just as soon get rid of the info below the album art altogether. Besides, some albums have no info below it and some have at least 3 things. I do dislike inconsistencies.

And what if an album has fewer than 5 tracks? How does the album art fit into that?

Don't think I'm trying to tell you how it should look. I'm just saying what I would change if it was mine. And it's rare to find someone who likes my foobar setup...

Yeah don't get me wrong, I've thought of these problems and I'd love to solve all of them, but I can't actually think of plausible solutions. I'd like to have the text on the right wrapping, I'd like to have the column wider. I guess I could try the text next to the album rather than below, but that would mean the column is extremely wide, and this is a small layout.

If you have any ideas how I could fix these things though feel free.

Can you give me all the image in your codes?
your work is amazing

I have tons of hour long mixes, with multiple songs in them, and I was wondering if there was some way to show the track listing for the current mix playing, I would figure it is possible, but I dont know even where to start.

Thanks guys!

Make CUE files for those mixes

CODE

PERFORMER "artist"
TITLE "album"
FILE "file_name.mp3" MP3
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    TITLE "track_name_1"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    TITLE "track_name_2"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

just copy that in a blank txt file an dename it as album.cue or sth like that.

just change text in "" and if you want to add more songs just paste tis to the end

CODE

  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    TITLE "track_name_3"
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

just change the track number

and for the position of a song in the mix just change value of INDEX 01 00:00:00 (hour:minute:seconds)

Sorry, tool. I tried thinking of ways to make the info below the album art fit but I have no answers for you.

I'm trying to change mine around but am having difficulties. The 3 main difficulties are:

1. The font. I need one that displays the █ character without spaces between them if they are in a row and also is a monospace/fixed-width font that looks decent. The best I've found so far is Lucida Console, but with that, the font is a little too big for the size I want and if I go one size smaller it is too small.

2. I'm changing my layout to be more like your's. I'm putting the album art, projectM, and spectrum analyzer down the left side. I looks kinda weird having them all just stacked on top of eachother but I don't know of any better place to put them. I'm not using the single column component, however, so I cannot make headers for albums. Instead, I was thinking of having the album info on the right of the album art and the left of the playlist. The problem is that some of my album titles are pretty long and with my graphical panels on the left side, I'll have less room to put everything.

3. I need something along the top. It can be track info or whatever. I just need something along the top. I like how you have that track info thing along the bottom and have the play button down there. Maybe something like that.

@Zurman

Well, my Quicksearch spits out playlists in the form of

Q [Search Term]

this is the so called "detection module" which parses the results and looks for matches in artist album or title (genre to be added soon).

This part just trims the search query and puts the trimmed part as a variable "query"::

CODE

$if($strstr(%playlist_name%,'Q ['),
$puts(query,$caps($trim($substr(%playlist_name%,4,$sub($len(%playlist_name%),1)))))

This part puts albus =1 (meaning turn on album mode) if there is artist or album in "query".::::

CODE

$if($or($strstr($caps(%artist%),$get(query)),$strstr($caps(%album%),$get(query))),$puts(albus,1))

This is just my personal preference: Display VA albums (ones with album artist) and playlists with ".." (my equivalent to -s-) as Single items:::

CODE

//Overwrite various albums
$if($strstr(%artist%,$get(query)),
$if($meta(album artist),$puts(albus,0)))
,
$if($strstr(%playlist_name%,'..'),$puts(albus,0),$puts(albus,1))
)

AND this is the "display module"

CODE

$ifgreater($get(albus),0,
$if($get_global(isSingle),
%artist%
//$tab()[%album%]
,
$select(%tracknumber%,
$if2($meta(album artist),%artist%)
//$tab()
//$get_global(cTxtB)[%genre%]$tab()
,
[%album%],
$get_global(cTxtB)
$if($or(%album_released%,%date%),'[')
$if(%album_released%,
$substr(%album_released%,9,10)$ifgreater($substr(%album_released%,9,10),03,th,$select($substr(%album_released%,9,10),st,nd,rd))
$select($substr(%album_released%,6,7),Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec) $left(%album_released%,4),[%date%])
$if($or(%album_released%,%date%),']')
,
%genre%
,
$get_global(cTxtB)
[%album_rating%/10]$if(%album_pick%,' ∂')
)
)
,
%artist%
)

which is pretty self-explanatory. if there is an "albus" then it executes the "full display mode" otherwise it displays the single mode. (the $get_global(cTxtB) is just for the color display)

Hope that helped.

If you create a CUE file, and "add" it to your playlist the same way you'd add an MP3, it will show up on your playlist just as if all the "sub-tracks" in it were separate playlist entries, with different titles. No plugin required.

Shure. I post my config file.
You need album_art, trackinfo_mod, lyrics_panel, for this one
But I made a new version (check this forum), but you need playconter (unofficial), single_columns_playlist and playlist_dropdown.
