Hi i hope this hasn't been asked before and im sorry if i have made a duplicate thread but i need some help deleting an album. What i do is i remove all the songs then id click another band , click back to the band which i deleted some songs from and they appear back again i cannot seem to get rid of the songs from foobar.

Select your album in foobar, rightclick it, choose fileoperations, delete files.

Gone!

I think you remove the songs just from the playlist and not the files. You can also delete them with windows explorer and then rescan the folder that album was in with album list or facets (Remove dead entries).

hey thanks for ur help but i dont seem to see choose fileoperations when i right click the album i want to remove from foobar i see

send to current playlist
add to current playlist
send to new playlist
create autoplaylist
copy
remove dead entries
Utils
Properties
add to play back que etc etc but i dont see the one ur talking about maybe im looking in the wrong place ?

Incase ur wondering my foobar is setup as Album List+ Properties(tabbed) i think

It should be there. Try instal newest version. (0.9.5.3)

i have the latest version ... this is what i see http://img379.imageshack.us/my.php?image=foobarthingbf3.jpg

The "File Operations" component was not selected while installing. please reinstall.

oh yeah that worked thanks for the help but im just wondering is there a way to just remove the album from foobar not from the computer or is that the only way? doesn't really worry me they only go to recycling bin but just curious once again thanks for the help

If it's in your music library folder, even if you choose one of the various ways to "remove it form library", it WILL get added back when, you rescan your library, or if the file is present in one of your playlists.

The simplest thing to do would be to have a separate folder where you dump these albums you don't want in the foobar library. Sadly, this is the only "surefire" solution until Restricting folders is added to the core (which could be a while, or not happen at all).

There is a Remove Files(s) From Library command for this purpose. If you don't see it in your context menu you can add it by going to Preferences > Context Menu. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think a rescan will add the files back to the library again, assuming they haven't been moved in the meantime.

Yeah that sounds alright to me atleast i get them out of my foobar thanks once again.

That is indeed the problem.
