Hello all,

My first post. Been trying to figure this darn foobar thing out for two days now. It's starting to be cool, but sheesh what a learning curve.

Anyway, I just want to know how many songs I have in foobar. I cannot figure out how to do this. Yes I'm talking about the # on the far left of most players that goes from 1 to however many songs you have. How do I go about doing this?

I don't know squat about code and stuff either. Appreciate any help...

Thanks,

Ron

I believe you are looking to add the %list_index% to your playlist formatting. But which playlist do you use? The playlist on the default ui? The default playlist on ColumnsUI? Or the single column playlist?

(this stuff really is starting to get overly complicated nowadays isnt it? lol)

Default Playlist:
File> Preferences> Display> Title Formatting> "Playlist" Tab

ColumnsUI Playlist:
File> Preferences> Display> ColumnsUI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab> "Display" Subtab

Single Column Playlist:
Rightclick playlist> Settings> "Item Display" Section

Ok that sort of worked. I have numbers now, but just 0's and 1's. About half is 0's, other half 1's. I assume I need to get rid of my current library and re-import my music? Or is there some other code I need to put in?

I'm using the columns UI playlist..

Having those numbers show up is like the best thing thats happened to me in a week. I swear I couldn't find no info on it and finally decided to join this group so I could hopefully find the answer.

With the default ColumnsUI playlist:

File> Preferences> Display> ColumnsUI> Playlist View> "Columns" Tab

On the left side of the tab there should be a box called "Columns". If it doesnt already exist click [New] and create a new column to handle the number. Use [Up] and [Down] to move it around, you probably want to move it to the top.

Toward the top of the tab enter a Display Name (I'd suggest just using the # sign). Right next to that define the width of the column, I'd suggest 25. Just below that ther is a box called "filter type" you can use to define which playlists to show the column, I would suggest setting it to "Show on all playlists" Just below that there is a checkbox for "Show column", make sure that is checked.

Just below all of that there should be a subtab called "Display". Switch to that tab and enter simply:


Click [Apply], [Save All], and [Close]. You should now have the column you asked for.

I have the column, and I copy/pasted the code. When I bring in my music tho I get 1s and 0's...

hmmm...

Ok somehow it's working. Is there a way to get rid of the zero's in front of the smaller #'s?? I would rather have it just say '1', instead of '0001'. My music is in the four digits tho so don't know if I have to leave it or not....

Thanks for all the help guys..

change it to $mod(%list_index%)
