foobar2000 gets ever closer to that v1.0 release

I've used foorbar2000 for years, but i've actually stuck with 0.9.4.5 because I can't cope without the open/eject icon:o
 
Thanks for the upload Grahame.


Everything works fine apart from the buttons. :confused: Using beta3 :)
 
i've written a script to query the lastfm servers to fetch my playback statistics for the now playing song and write the reponse to my file tags. :cool:

i might post a "how to" if anybody is interested. :p

Try right clicking on where each button should be and go to customize then check the path. I am on windows 7 64 so it is probably pointing to program files (x86). If it is in just program files on your pc then remove the (x86) part
 
How can I get it to sort how I want? At the moment, it has all the #1 tracks, all the #2...and so on, but I want it to sort By Artist first, and then by Album, and within that by CD (eg I have written all the tags so that they are on disc 1 of 3 and so on):

Yeah tagging is the key to get it looking right, just last week i spent around 7 hours sorting out my albums ripping my cd collection and tagging them all correctly, such a pain in the backside.
 
For multi-disc albums I enter the disc number into the files on Mediamonkey, then get it to auto-organise the files so the track number on the actual file name is [disc number].[Track number] (eg, disc 2, track 9 = 2.09). It works the best for me.

In its default setup, the Columns UI interface doesn't display the disc number in the "#" playlist column - go into File > Preferences > Display > Columns UI > Playlist View > Columns tab, then select # in the Column, err, column, select the Scripts tab, then in the Display (sub)tab alter [%tracknumber%] to [%discnumber%.][%tracknumber%]

It does look as though your tags are all over the place anyway though - the Led Zep III tracks aren't showing any track numbers, and the entries in Title column for the Barber of Seville look like filenames (implying the "Title" tag is missing, as well as the track number).

You might also need to change the "Shell Integration > Sort incoming files by" setting from the default "%path_sort%" value if your filenames themselves aren't consistent - something like %albumartist%|%date%|%album%|%discnumber%|%tracknumber% should do the trick.

To be honest, if you're not familiar with foobar2000 I'd recommend you stick with Default UI unless you desperately want a fancy appearance - it's a lot simpler to apply basic customisation than with Columns UI, which isn't always exactly intuitive to use.

that's funny. your screen shot says otherwise. look under "#". that's the tracknumber column. yours is empty. and are those proper titles in the "Title" column? doesn't look like it to me. discnumber/tracknumber shouldn't be part of the title tag. as captain crash said, that looks like a filename...

can you honestly look at the properties dialog for your files and tell me it looks like this?

the only thing non default about this is my "group by" code.

Hmm you're right about the Rossini, I thought it was tagged properly, but to the Monteverdi:

they are all tagged properly (just checked), and it still groups all the 01s, all the 2s....?
