I'm on foobar2000 v0.9.1.

I want to know how I change the default tab? So like instead of:

Media Libary Number - Artist - Album - Song Title Song Length

If I can just take out the Album section and the Media Libary Number?

I might be hard to understand but I'm not quite sure of how to express what I want.

Because of "Field remappings", this code

CODE

$if2(%title%,%filename%)

gives the same result as

CODE

%title%

QUOTE(Field remappings)

%title%
Defined as $if2($meta(title),%_filename%). Returns the title tag if available, otherwise it returns the filename excluding the extension.

Hence the mentioned string can be reduced to:

CODE

[%album artist% - ][%title%]$tab()%length%

Thought I should mention it, as using remapped fields as a condition in e.g. an $if()-statement, might not do what you expect it to. If you want to verify the presence of a tag, use $meta(tagname) instead.
