Hi,
I don't know if the following post is more of a bug-report or a feature-request, so I hope this is the right place to put it on :)

As I can see, foobar2000 displays 'Rebuild MP3 Stream' and 'Fix MP3 Header...' items from 'Utils' context menu only when ALL of the selected files in playlist are MP3's.

IMHO this can be quite inconvenient sometimes, and I'd like to suggest just a small change to this behaviour: to show the mentioned items in context menu whenever at least one of the selected files is MP3. Then, in the process of rebuilding/fixing, the files in other (irrelevant) formats could be just skipped over (reminds me of JPG Lossless operations in IrfanView Thumbnails).

Of course, there are also utils for other formats (like 'Optimize MP4 Layout'), so maybe your point was to not have too much items in that menu in case of many formats in the selection.. Maybe the menu could be divided to some logical (sub)sections, each for one of the formats found in the selection..

Ok, in any case, thank you very much.

Why not just select MP3 files? After all, it's not hard to do this using Database Search or QuickPlaylist (both by foosion).
