Foobar Config

Mutant_Fruit

This is how to set up foobar to look its best.

FIRSTLY I THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE APE TAGS IN YOUR MP3'S FOR THIS TO WORK 100%. OR HAVE THE ID3V2 tag reader INSTALLED

when thats done, do this:

1) Click on Foobar 2000>Settings to open the settings window.
Go to Display and in Playlist font choose terminal. Playlist background colour should be black.

Now go to Display>Title Formatting

Under playlist paste this in:

That will make the image shown below (Config2).

You can also add this into "system tray" and "main window title"

%artist% - %album% - $num(%tracknumber%,2). %title%

Its better than default one in my opinion.

Then hit apply, and load up an album.

EDIT: i fixed the link
edit 2: All that happened was that there was no section there to actually draw the REPLAYGAIN info,, should work now

Is that some kind of weird stylesheet for Nick's site?

(I think you're looking for foobar2000.org.)

Mutant_Fruit

what do ya mean by style sheet.

This is how you set foobar up so that it looks cool...

dahamsta

Your original post linked to foobar.org, Nick Hilliard's site, as you well know.

adam

Mutant_Fruit

a way of getting around having to add ape tags is to install the id3v2 tag reader... here

if only i knew that existed before...

Southpaw32

That looks very sweet!!
Thanks for sharing!!

One question though...I don't see the ReplayGain info being displayed?
Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Southpaw

Ok, reaplygain now is shown. Just copy the fixed config from above ^^^^^
