Foobar Config

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.

Now go to Display>Title Formatting

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
