Need Help Converting

2 Upvotes

Hi, I do not have a PC, neither will i have it anytime soon.
And i’d really like to have an archive converted to mp3/m4a that’s in .wem format, and i do not have a way of converting it on mobile.

Also, i do not know anyone in real life who has PC.

So if anybody wants to do it for me DM me, I’d be really grateful!

Support Library viewer selection playlist - sorting?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm using Refacets with Playlist View, with Library viewer selection playlist enabled. It seems to be just sorting by file order, and I can't figure out how to overwrite this. See example below.

Under Shell integration I have "Sort incoming files by":

%album artist% | %date% | %album% | %tracknumber%"

When I click "Edit > Sort by..." and use this pattern, it indeed sorts like I want, but then when I click away and click back to that same selection, it goes back to the original sorting that I don't want.

Any idea how Library viewer selection playlist is sorted or what setting I must change here?

i found a thread here of the same problem but I'm still unsure. appreciate any help!

Support Many questions about the Android version, specifically components.

3 Upvotes

Hello, In an effort to leave Spotify I've installed Foobar2000 on my android phone. Anytime I try to search for some help or directions I only get desktop foobar2000 results which don't help me at all for Android.

One missing feature from fb2k that I loved on Spotify is the ability to set a timer to smoothly stop the music after a defined amount of time. Not finding anything about that in fb2k I searched a bit and discovered that there's a component for it called timebomb, however when trying to find how I could install that on Android or even if it was possible to install components on Android I found nothing. Is it possible ? If yes, how ?

I also tried to find the app files on my phone to see if maybe there was a relevant components folder, but nothing comes up. It's like foobar installed nowhere at all, there isn't a single trace of where the app files of fb2k even are.

so TLDR :

  1. Is there an in-app timer ?
  2. Can we install components on the Android version of foobar2000 ?
  3. If yes, how ?
  4. Where are the app files ?

Support ColumnsUI library view - album details

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know how I enabled this bit, showing the track count | bitrate, below the album in library view? I guess it must be an option on ColumnsUI but I've got no idea what I did to get it.

I'm using Georgia-Reborn.

Thanks!

Minimal — a foobar2000 mobile skin: full format line, remaining-time seekbar, transport-only controls

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

I kept trimming foobar2000 mobile's now-playing screen until there was nothing left I didn't want. Sharing it in case someone else wants the same thing.

- Full format line — `ALAC · 840 kbps · 16-bit · 44.1 kHz` — at a readable size

- Large album art, album and year with it

- Seekbar shows **remaining**, not total

- Prev / play / next only. No shuffle, repeat, next-track line or position dot

Two variants: **-r** rounds the artwork corners, **-s** leaves them square. Skin format 2, so it needs foobar2000 mobile v1.5 or newer. Nineteen canvases registered by aspect ratio, so most phones and tablets should get a real layout rather than a fallback.

Built on **NewMoon 2.0** by TAOKA-Daiki — frames, icons and glyphs are theirs. The layouts are generated from one Python spec rather than hand-edited coordinates, so it's easy to fork and move things around to your taste.

The README also collects the format-2 things that cost me time — `.fbskin` is just a ZIP, text files must be UTF-16 or foobar silently ignores them, and how to get a `44.1 kHz` readout out of titleformatting.

**Download:** https://github.com/kunyu-zhang/foobar2000-minimal-skin

Feedback welcome, especially from tablet owners — that's the case I can't test myself.

News I got the original Georgia (not ReBORN) theme working with Foobar2000 x64

12 Upvotes

The only part that seems to prevent Georgia from running using the x64 fork of Spider Monkey Panel ( https://github.com/dima-lur/spider-monkey-panel-x64 ) is the VBScript‑based InputBox used in the Library panel.
The old ScriptControl ActiveX is 32‑bit only and fails on x64.

It looks like InputBox is used only for the “Create m‑TAGS” menu item in the Library panel.
By default, that menu item is commented out in the theme, so you can't use it anyway.
However, the fix ensures that if you ever modify the code and re‑enable it, it should work on x64 (hopefully).

You can download the patched version here: https://github.com/Artins90/Georgia/releases/tag/x64.compatibility.patch

I am a novice at best, so backup your old foobar configuration folder before making the switch: AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2

To begin with, I'm a complete newbie in this program. I've achieved this look for the player and in my opinion it looks clean and i like it (artwork + playlist view + spectrum analyser on the left and spider monkey panel with js smooth browser on the right)

However my setup lacks one feature I need: I want to have tabs on top of the smp with tabs "artist" "albums" and so on you got the point

In my main player (Dopamine) it looks like this

I spent about 2 hours talking with ChatGPT but it couldn't help me. I guess it's not so hard as I think it is and you will be able to help me

MacOS Mini player?

Post image

New to Foobar2000... I came to it because I'm trying to cut the Spotify ties and rebuild my library as FLAC only...

I started playing with the layout on Mac and this is what I came up with with the limited syntax I could find.

Does anyone know if it's possible to build a mini player?

I guess I could just use a one column layout and create minimal panels, but I wondered if there was a way to have a dialoge box with just the play controls and track info that I could have up with the main dialogue minimized?

or even better a toolbar widget 😄 ?

Support Can EsPlaylist display the counts of items with a specific tag in a group and display as %?

2 Upvotes

What I'm Trying to Accomplish: I'd like to be able to see albums in my library that have a high ratio of loved tracks to their total tracks. As a base equation this would simply be

tracks that have the value 1 for %lfm_loved% / %totaltracks%

So for example if I have an album with 10 tracks, 5 are loved, the result would be 50%

I am currently using ESPlaylist as a library viewer, which i believe can display sub counts for album groupings... but I'm pretty dumb with this stuff so not quite sure how to go about doing what I want to accomplish lol.

Then from the foobar preferences--> components menu, I installed the component.
But when I add the vu meter in the layout it shows nothing at all (blank space).
