'''WavPack''' is a free, open source [[lossless]] audio compression format developed by David Bryant.

== Description ==
WavPack (pronounced "wave-pack") allows users to compress (and restore) all [[PCM]] audio formats including 8, 16, and 24-bit ints; 32-bit floats; [[mono]], [[stereo]], and [[multichannel]]; [[sampling rate]]s from 6 to 192 kHz. Like other lossless compression schemes the data reduction varies with the source, but it is generally between 25 % and 50 % for typical popular music and somewhat better than that for classical music and other sources with greater dynamic range.

WavPack also incorporates a unique "hybrid" mode that provides all the advantages of lossless compression with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having to choose between lossless and lossy compression!

== Feature Summary ==
* Fast and efficient encoding and decoding
* [[Open source]], released under a BSDish license
* Multiplatform
* Hardware support
* Error robustness
* Streaming support
* Supports multichannel audio and high resolutions
* Hybrid/lossy mode
* Tagging support ([[ID3v1]], [[APE]])
* Supports [[RIFF]] chunks
* Supports embedded CUE sheets
* Includes MD5 hashes for quick integrity checking
* Ability to create self extracting files for Win32 platform
* [[ReplayGain]] compatible

== History ==
David Bryant started development on WavPack in mid-1998, with the release of version 1.0. This first version compressed and decompressed audio losslessly, nothing else, but by then it already featured one of the best efficiency versus speed ratio among lossless encoders.

Very soon after the release of version 1.0, Bryant released v. 2.0, which featured lossy encoding (using only quantization for data reduction – no psychoacoustic process was applied to the stream).

In 1999, the developer released version 3.0, which featured novelties such as a fast mode (with reduced compression ratio), compression of RAW files and error detection using CRC checksums.

WavPack development is still going on, and a major feature added in late 3.x versions is the hybrid mode, where the encoder generates a lossy file + a correction file, so that both can be decompressed back to the original PCM stream.

WavPack 4 has been recently released. It included important changes, such as fast seeking, multichannel support, high resolution audio support, etc. turning it into one of the most full featured and modern lossless audio compressors.

== Technology description ==
To ensure high-speed operation, WavPack uses a very simple predictor that is implemented entirely in integer math. In its "fast" mode the prediction is simply the arithmetic extrapolation of the previous two samples. For example, if the previous two samples were -10 and 20, then the prediction would be 50. For the default mode a simple adaptive factor is added to weigh the influence of the earlier sample on the prediction. In our example the resulting prediction could then vary between 20 for no influence to 50 for full influence. This weight factor is constantly updated based on the audio data's changing spectral characteristics, which is why it is called "adaptive".

The prediction generated is then subtracted from the actual sample to be encoded to generate the error value. In mono mode this value is sent directly to the coder. However, stereo signals tend to have some correlation between the two channels that can be further exploited. Therefore, two error values are calculated that represent the difference and average of the left and right error values. In the "fast" mode of operation these two new values are simply sent to the coder instead of the left and right values. In the default mode, the difference value is always sent to the coder along with one of the other three values (average, left, or right). An adaptive algorithm continuously determines the most efficient of the three to send based on the changing balance of the channels.

The developer has developed a unique data encoder for WavPack that he believes is better than Rice coding in two different areas. It is impossible to encode more efficiently than Rice coding because it represents the optimal bit coding (sometimes known as the Huffman code) for this type of data. WavPack's encoder is slightly less efficient than this, but only by about 0.15 bits/sample (or less than 1% for 16-bit data). The first advantage of WavPack's coder is that it does not require the data to be buffered ahead of encoding, instead it converts each sample directly to bitcodes. This is more computationally efficient and it is better in some applications where coding delay is critical. The second advantage is that it is easily adaptable to lossy encoding because all significant bits (except the implied "one" MSB) are transmitted directly. In this way it is possible to only transmit, for example, the 3 most significant bits (with sign) of each sample. In fact, it is possible to transmit only the sign and implied MSB for each sample with an average of only 3.65 bits/sample.

This coding scheme is used to implement the "lossy" mode of WavPack. In the "fast" mode the output of the non-adaptive decorrelator is simply rounded to the nearest codable value for the specified number of bits. In the default mode the adaptive decorrelator is used (which reduces the average noise about 1 dB) and also both the current and the next sample are considered in choosing the better of the two available codes (which reduces noise another 1 dB).

The developer has decided to not use any floating-point arithmetic in WavPack's data path because he believes that integer operations are less susceptible to subtle chip to chip variations that could corrupt the lossless nature of the compression, the Pentium floating point bug being a blatant example of this. It is possible that a lossless compressor that used floating-point math could generate different output when running on that faulty Pentium. Even disregarding actual bugs, floating-point math is complicated enough that there could be subtle differences between "correct" implementations that could cause trouble for this type of application. To further ensure confidence in the integrity of WavPack's compression, the encoder includes a 32-bit error detection code to the generated streams.

WavPack source code is very portable. It has been compiled on several Unices (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Compaq Tru64, HP-UX...) as well as Windows, DOS and OpenVMS. It works on architectures such as x86, ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, DEC Alpha, PA-RISC, MIPS, Motorola 68k...

Foobar2000:File Operations (foo fileops)

2011-01-31T16:50:22Z

Shakey snake: added Selector image

{{fb2k}}

The '''file operations''' dialog box allows you to copy, move, rename, and delete files from within foobar2000. The key benefits of using the file operations component (as opposed to using Windows Explorer) are:
* Based on [[Foobar2000:Title_Formatting_Reference |title formatting]].
* The Media Library and playlists are automatically updated to reflect the change.
* Data from the [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component]] is preserved when moving files.
** Note: If the files are moved to a folder which is not monitored by the Media Library, they will be removed from the Media Library and playback statistics will also be lost.

=Usage=
The optional component <tt>foo_fileops</tt> is required. To install this component, run the foobar2000 installer and check Optional features > Tools > File Operations. Once installed, you can right-click a group of tracks in the playlist and File Operations will appear in the context menu.

[[Image:Foobar-Fileops-1.png|center]]

* '''Operation''': Copy, rename, or move the files. Note that some options below will be disabled depending on the selected operation.
* '''Presets''': See below.
* '''Destination Folder''': The root destination folder. You cannot use title formatting in this field, and the folder must already exist.
[[file:File_Name_Pattern_Selector.png|thumb|Filename Pattern Selector]]
* '''File Name Pattern''': Specify how the files will be named, and indicate any subfolders (separated by '\'). Title formatting is allowed in this field, and any subfolder which does not exist will be created under the destination folder. The '...' button allows you to select from a set of preset patterns.

* '''Options''':
** Copy/Move Entire Source Folder Content: Useful when you have supplementary files such as cover art in the music folder.
** Remove Empty Source Folders

* '''Preview''': Shows the potential results of the file operation.

==Presets==
[[Image:Foobar-Fileops-2.png|center]]

Presets allow you to save the current settings in the File Operations Setup dialog. Once a preset is created, it is not only accessible from the setup dialog, but from the context menu under File Operations. The latter opens a preview/confirmation dialog (shown above), and you can access the detailed setup menu with the 'More...' button.

==Usage Tips==
* Beginning in 0.9.6.4, symbols which are invalid in folder and file names such as '''/ \ |:''' get replaced by a '''-''', '''*''' gets replaced by '''x''', '''"''' gets replaced with '''''''', and '''? < >''' get replaced by an '''_'''.
* You may want to consider using <tt>$ascii()</tt> or <tt>$ansi()</tt> to sanitize the names when applying file operations.

Foobar2000:Title Formatting Reference

2010-10-19T12:54:32Z

Shakey snake: /* Time/Date Functions */

{{fb2k}}
This article contains information about built-in titleformatting functions and field references with special meaning. References to documentation about fields and function which can only be used in specific components or which are provided by specific components can be found at the end of this article.

A field reference is a field name enclosed in percent signs, for example ''%artist%''. A function call starts with a dollar sign, followed by the function name and the parameter list. A parameter list can either be empty - denoted as ''()'' - or contain one or more parameters separated by commata, for example ''$abbr(%artist%)''. Note that there must be no whitespace between the dollar sign and the function name, or the function name and the opening parenthesis of the parameter list.

Please see [[Foobar2000:Title Formatting Introduction|Title Formatting Introduction]] for a presentation of titleformat syntax in general. For details of the query syntax, which uses these fields, see: [[Foobar2000:Query_syntax|Query Syntax]].

= Field remappings =

Some of the fields accessible through ''%name%'' are remapped to other values to make writing titleformat scripts more convenient.

== Metadata ==

=== %album artist% ===
Name of the artist of the album specified track belongs to. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "album artist", "artist", "composer", "performer". The difference between this and ''%artist%'' is that ''%album artist%'' is intended for use where consistent value across entire album is needed even when per-track artists values vary.

=== %album% ===
Name of the album specified track belongs to. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "album", "venue".

=== %artist% ===
Name of the artist of the track. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "artist", "album artist", "composer", "performer". For a SHOUTcast stream which contains metadata, it is the StreamTitle up to the first "-" character.

=== %discnumber% ===
Index of disc specified track belongs to, within the album. Available only when "discnumber"/"disc" field is present in track’s metadata.

=== %track artist% ===
Name of the artist of the track; present only if ''%album artist%'' is different than ''%artist%'' for specific track. Intended for use together with ''%album artist%'', to indicate track-specific artist info, e.g. "%album artist% - %title%[ '//' %track artist%]". In this case, the last part will be displayed only when track-specific artist info is present.

=== %title% ===
Title of the track. If "title" metadata field is missing, file name is used instead. For a SHOUTcast stream which contains metadata, it is the StreamTitle after the first "-" character.

=== %tracknumber% ===
Two-digit index of specified track within the album. Available only when "tracknumber" field is present in track’s metadata.

== Technical information ==

=== %bitrate% ===
Bitrate of the track; includes dynamic VBR bitrate display for currently played track.

=== %channels% ===
Number of channels in the track (mono/stereo/etc). Returns the number of channels in text form; returns "mono" and "stereo" instead of "1" and "2".

=== %filesize% ===
Defined as ''%_filesize%''. Returns the filesize in bytes.

=== %filesize_natural% ===
Size of the file, automatically formatted in appropriate units such as megabytes or kilobytes.

=== %samplerate% ===
Sample rate of the track, in Hz.

=== %codec% ===
Name of codec used to encode the track. If exact codec name is not available, file extension is used.

== Special fields ==

= Control flow =

The functions in this section can be used to conditionally execute statements.

=== [...] (conditional section) ===

Evaluates the expression between ''['' and '']''. If it has the truth value ''true'', its string value and the truth value ''true'' are returned. Otherwise an empty string and ''false'' are returned.

Example: ''[%artist%]'' returns the value of the artist tag, if it exists. Otherwise it returns nothing, when ''artist'' would return "?".

=== $if(cond,then) ===

If ''cond'' evaluates to ''true'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise, ''false'' is returned.

=== $if(cond,then,else) ===

If ''cond'' evaluates to ''true'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise, the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $if2(a,else) ===

Like ''$if(a,a,else)'' except that ''a'' is only evaluated once.

=== $if3(a1,a2,...,aN,else) ===

Evaluates arguments ''a1'' ... ''aN'', until one is found that evaluates to ''true''. If that happens, its value is returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $ifequal(n1,n2,then,else) ===

Compares the integer numbers ''n1'' and ''n2'', if ''n1'' is equal to ''n2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $ifgreater(n1,n2,then,else) ===

Compares the integer numbers ''n1'' and ''n2'', if ''n1'' is greater than ''n2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $iflonger(s1,s2,then,else) ===

Compares the length of the strings ''s1'' and ''s2'', if ''s1'' is longer than ''s2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $select(n,a1,...,aN) ===

If the value of ''n'' is between 1 and N, ''an'' is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise ''false'' is returned.

= Arithmetic functions =

The functions in this section can be used to perform arithmetic on integer numbers. A string will be automatically converted to a number and vice versa. The conversion to a number uses the longest prefix of the string that can be interpreted as number. Leading whitespace is ignored. Decimal points are not supported. Examples:
* "c3po" → 0
* "4.8" → 4
* -12" → -12
* "- 12" → 0

=== $add(a,b) ===

Adds ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$add(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$add($add(a,b),...)''.

=== $div(a,b) ===

Divides ''a'' by ''b'' and rounds down to an integer. If ''b'' evaluates to zero, it returns ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$div(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$div($div(a,b),...)''.

=== $greater(a,b) ===

Returns true, if ''a'' is greater than ''b'', otherwise false.

=== $max(a,b) ===

Returns the maximum of ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$max(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$max($max(a,b),...)''.

=== $min(a,b) ===

Returns the minimum of ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$min(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$min($min(a,b),...)''.

=== $mod(a,b) ===

Computes the remainder of dividing ''a'' through ''b''. The result has the same sign as ''a''. If ''b'' evaluates to zero, the result is ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$mod(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$mod($mod(a,b),...)''.

=== $mul(a,b) ===

Multiplies ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$mul(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$mul($mul(a,b),...)''.

=== $muldiv(a,b,c) ===

Multiplies ''a'' and ''b'', then divides by ''c''. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.

=== $rand() ===

Generates a random number in the range from 0 to 2<sup>32</sup>-1. Available only in sort-related contexts, such as the ''Edit → Sort → Sort by ...'' menu command.

=== $sub(a,b) ===

Subtracts ''b'' from ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$sub(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$sub($sub(a,b),...)''.

= Boolean functions =

The functions in this section can be used to work with truth values (''true'' and ''false''), which have no explicit representation in titleformat scripts. They do not return a string or number value. You can use them for more complex conditions with ''$if'' and related functions.

=== $and(...) ===

Logical And of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if and only if all arguments evaluate to ''true''.

Special case: ''$and(x,y)'' is ''true'', if both ''x'' and ''y'' are ''true''. Otherwise it is ''false''.

=== $or(...) ===

Logical Or of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if at least one argument evaluates to ''true''.

Special case: ''$or(x,y)'' is ''true'', if ''x'' or ''y'' is ''true'', or if both are ''true''. Otherwise it is ''false''.

=== $not(x) ===

Logical Not. Returns ''false'', if ''x'' is ''true'', otherwise it returns ''true''.

=== $xor(...) ===

Logical Exclusive-or of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if an odd number of arguments evaluate to ''true''.

Special case: ''$xor(x,y)'' is ''true'', if one of ''x'' and ''y'' is ''true'', but not both. Otherwise it is ''false''.

= Color functions =

=== $blend(color1,color2,part,total) ===

Returns a color that is a blend between ''color1'' and ''color2''. If ''part'' is smaller than or equal to zero, ''color1'' is returned. If ''part'' is greater than or equal to ''total'', ''color2'' is returned. Otherwise a blended color is returned that is ''part'' parts ''color1'' and ''total''-''part'' parts ''color2''. The blending is performed in the RGB color space.

=== $hsl() ===

Resets the text color to the default color.

=== $hsl(h,s,l) ===

Sets the color for text in the HSL color space. ''h'', ''s'' and ''l'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for unselected text. The color for selected text is set to the inverse color.
The ranges of ''h'', ''s'', and ''l'' are from 0 to 240; the function is designed to interpret those values in the same way as the standard Windows color dialog.

=== $hsl(h1,s1,l1,h2,s2,l2) ===

Sets the color for text in the HSL color space. ''h1'', ''s1'' and ''l1'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for unselected text. ''h2'', ''s2'' and ''l2'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for selected text.

=== $rgb() ===

Resets the text color to the default color.

=== $rgb(r,g,b) ===

Sets the color for text. ''r'', ''g'' and ''b'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for unselected text. The color for selected text is set to the inverse color.

=== $rgb(r1,g1,b1,r2,g2,b2) ===

Sets the color for text. ''r1'', ''g1'' and ''b1'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for unselected text. ''r2'', ''g2'' and ''b2'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for selected text.

=== $transition(string,color1,color2) ===

Inserts color codes into ''string'', so that the first character has ''color1'', the last character has ''color2'', and intermediate characters have blended colors. The blending is performed in the RGB color space. Note that color codes are additional characters that will also be counted by string manipulation functions. For example, if you need to truncate a string, you should do this before applying ''$transition''.

Returns value of tag called ''name''. If multiple values of that tag exist, they are concatenated with ''sep'' as separator between all but the last two values which are concatenated with ''lastsep''.

Example: ''$meta_sep(artist,', ',', and ')'' → "He, She, and It"

=== $meta_test(...) ===
Returns ''1'', if all given tags exist, ''undefined'' otherwise.

Example: ''$meta_test(artist,title)'' → true

=== $meta_num(name) ===
Returns the number of values for the tag called ''name''.

Example: ''$meta_num(artist)'' → 3

== Technical information ==

=== $info(name) ===
Returns value of technical information field called ''name''.

For convenience, the '''%__name%''' alias is also available.

Example: ''$info(channels)'' → 2

Here is an '''informative''' list of recognized fields. Some of these depend on the media file type being queried.

Foobar2000:FAQ

2010-10-19T12:44:02Z

Shakey snake: /* How can I calculate and display how long it's been since I last played a track? */

{{fb2k}}

= General =

== Is this the only FAQ? ==
No. There is [http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ.html an official one] at the foobar2000.org site. It is maintained independently of this one, and covers different topics.

== Is foobar2000 still under active development? ==
Yes. Please see the forum and the foobar2000 homepage for the latest version and news about upcoming versions.

== I have Windows Vista and my foobar2000 has strange behavior. Do you plan on fixing those bugs soon? ==
Foobar2000 fully supports Windows Vista (other than a limitation in Windows Explorer which causes the "Enqueue" command to not work properly with a large number of files). The problem is most probably due to a component, so updating to the latest version might resolve the problem.

== I'm looking for a specific feature. How should I know if a third-party component suits my needs ? ==
If you are not the Ctrl+F kind of person with your web browser, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get familiar with it. Go to the [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9|components section]], press Ctrl+F and search for keywords related to what you are looking for. [http://pelit.koillismaa.fi/plugins/index.php Foobar2000 official 3rd party components site] is another option, although it does not contain all the components known for 0.9.x at the moment. You will hopefully find something that suits you. Otherwise, maybe you can make a request in the foobar2000 forum or even better, code it yourself then share it with the community!

== How do I upgrade Foobar2000? ==
If it's a minor upgrade (e.g. 0.9.3 -> 0.9.4) then simply install it in the same directory. Remember to select the same "per user" setting while installing; you could lose all your configurations otherwise. If it's a major upgrade (e.g. 0.8 -> 0.9), it's recommended that you uninstall the previous version before installing the newer version, because the components are (almost always) incompatible with the newer version.

== Where can I find old versions of Foobar2000? ==
Old versions can be found [http://www.filehippo.com/download_foobar2000/ at filehippo.com]. Although old versions may be lacking critical bug fixes, they can be useful if you need to use a component or operating system that is no longer supported by the current version. For example, Windows 2000 users can't use foobar2000 versions newer than 0.9.4.5.

= Playback =

== How can I send my files from Windows Explorer into a specific playlist, so as not to erase my active playlist? ==

Preferences → General → Always send to playlist (playlist name)

== Why does dragging and dropping directories / files have erratic results? ==
The culprit is most likely an input component. Removing the input components and adding them back one-by-one can help you pinpoint the location. Note: Haali has coded a stable Matroska component that doesn't cause this problem.

== Why can't I listen to unfinished downloading files? ==
Foobar2000 needs exclusive access to files being played - they can be read by other software while foobar2000 is accessing them but not written to. A good workaround is to copy the unfinished file, then try to play it.

== The 'Previous' button doesn't work. ==
In Random playback mode, the Previous button behaves as a Stop button.

== How can I (automatically) move to the currently playing track in the playlist? ==
By default, double-clicking the status bar will highlight the currently playing track. To make it automatic, select Playback > Cursor follows playback.

= Look & Feel =

== I just saw a great looking foobar2000 window, but I don't know how to get mine looking the same way! Is there no hope for me? ==
Of course there is! First take a look at those threads and get in touch with what other users achieved:
* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=58574 Default UI Gallery] {{foobar2000v09}}

== Is there a way to make my instant messenger's "Now Playing" show the song I'm listening to with foobar? ==
Yes, through plugins:

* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10632 AMIP] Complete now-playing plug-in for mIRC, PIRCH, Klient, Bersirc, other IRC and Mail clients, supporting full player control from mIRC, playlist search, clipboard integration, HTTP, dynamic image signatures, etc.
* [http://stephan.kochen.nl/proj/foobar2000.html#msn for MSN]
* [http://pelit.koillismaa.fi/plugins/general.php#76 for Miranda-IM]

== I have seen some people using something which pops up to display the song being listened to. Where can I find it? ==
* It's called [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=33236&hl=foo_pretty+pop-up foo_prettypop]. Note that it requires the .NET Framework to work.
* If you are using Columns UI, it has a popup notification feature too ("Preferences -> Display -> ColumnsUI -> Status Bar/Systray (tab) -> Show popup notification baloon")

== Is there a way to map my multimedia keyboard keys? ==
You can assign actions with keys including multimedia key from the in "Preference -> General -> Keyboard Shortcuts". If it still does not work, take a look at [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=39a242a80d03f35b424165dd8e06be6b&showtopic=50067 this] tutorial.

= Columns UI =

== How do I know which component is meant to be used with Columns UI?==
[[Foobar2000:Components_0.9|Component section]] of the wiki shows which plugin you can use for ColumnsUI's interface.

== How can I get tabbed panels? ==
Use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=46106&st=0&p=410247&#entry410247 uie tabs]. Also, the latest version of Column UI (0.2.0 Alpha 3) has the feature built-in.

== Where are the options for changing the playback buttons? ==
Right click on buttons area → Customise...

== How can I display the album art and cover above my playlist? ==
To set the panels above your playlist, just use <tt>list all toolbars</tt>, then add the panels/toolbars/visualizations that you want to use. Organize them as you want them to be displayed. And finally, use the 'minimum height' values of the corresponding panels. As it is not a common way to use the toolbar, you may experience some unexpected behaviour. Keep in mind that it may create some display problems. Musicmusic may fix this into the next version of Columns UI.

== I have more questions. ==
Refer to the [http://yuo.be/wiki/columns_ui:faqs official ColumnsUI FAQ].

= Media Library, Tagging & Album Cover =

== I updated my tags, but foobar still shows the old tags. How can I fix this? ==
This happens almost exclusively when you use a third party program to update tags (updates made by Foobar2000 itself are immediately reflected). Select the file(s), right click on any of them, go to Tagging, then click on "Reload Info from File(s)".

== How can I fill in tags based on file names or directory structure? ==
Right click on the file(s) in the playlist → open the [[Foobar2000:Properties|Properties dialog]] → choose "Automatically Fill Values" from its "Tools" menu. For more details, see the [[Foobar2000:Properties/Automatically Fill Values|Automatically Fill Values]] page.

== How can I automatically assign tracknumbers to a group of files? ==
Select all tracks that need to be filled with tracknumbers → right click → open the [[Foobar2000:Properties|Properties dialog]] → choose "Auto Track Number" from the "Tools" menu.

== Is there a way to have album covers downloaded automatically? ==
Unfortunately, it is not possible. But, there is a way to be 2 clicks away from those cover arts. Take a look at [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=43429&hl=cover+download this thread] for more info.

== How can I make a playlist containing duplicate entries? ==
Unfortunately, this is not possible. However, you can use the album list panel component to remove the dead entries from your library, and use a free program like [http://zabkat.com/xplorer2] to find the duplicate files in your computer.

== How can I make a playlist containing files recently added to the media library? ==
One of the information which the [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] collects is the time a file was added to the Media Library. This data is accessible by the %added% field, so you can search by a query such as <tt>%added% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS</tt> in Facets, Album List, or Media Library Search.

== How do I save tags in a database (as opposed to writing it in the file)? ==
The [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] stores the information it has collected in a database by default. If you need to store some other information in a database, use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=45994 foo_custominfo]. Note that foo_custominfo is incompatible with foobar2000 since version 0.9.5.3.

== How do I tag various artist albums (compilations)? ==
Enter the information in the Album Artist tag. Most people use "VA", "Various" or "Various Artists", but you can put anything you want.

= Titleformatting =

== How can I display information about the next track in the playlist? ==
This is not possible in foobar2000 since v0.9.5.3.

== How can I calculate and display how long it's been since I last played a track? ==
The [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] stores the information in the <tt>%last_played%</tt> field. However, the current system time cannot be retrieved via titleformatting in foobar2000 v0.9.5.3 and beyond, so in most cases, you cannot calculate how long it has been (e.g., in days) since a track was last played. (See the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=58233&view=findpost&p=564223 relevant discussion] at the Hydrogenaudio forums.)

The one exception is [[Foobar2000:Components 0.9/Columns UI (foo ui columns)|ColumnsUI (foo_ui_columns)]], which makes <tt>%_system_year%, %_system_day%, %_system_month%, %_system_day_of_week%,</tt> and <tt>%_system_hour%</tt> available. Hence it is technically possible to calculate and display the difference, but it is only accessible from within the Columns UI playlists.

== How can I apply color changes to my titleformatting results? ==
The <tt>$rgb()</tt> command is currently unsupported in the Default UI playlist. For complex coloring schemes, you need to use [[Foobar2000:Components 0.9/Columns UI (foo ui columns)|ColumnsUI (foo_ui_columns)]].

= Troubleshooting =

== List of banned components ==
Before posting bug reports, be sure that none of [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44213 those problematic components] are installed.

== There is always a long delay before changes to the DSPs take effect. Can I reduce this? ==
Try reducing the output buffer length from Preferences → Playback → Output → (your selected output method). However, do not put it at the minimum length. 300ms should be enough (more if you are using several DSPs).

== What are metadb_handle leaks? ==
metadb_handles are resources used in the metadata management in foobar2000. A leak indicates that a component does not release them (in time). The overall effect of such a leak is relatively harmless. Nevertheless, this is a programming error and foobar2000 detects and reports it to the user. Unfortunately, it is not possible for foobar2000 to detect which component caused the leak.

== I hear static when fading in/out - pause/unpause. ==
Be sure you have the latest sound drivers installed and disable your DSPs before reporting it. Some users reported that using [http://foobar2000.org/components/index.html Kernel Streaming] instead of the default output fixed the problem ("Preferences -> Playback -> Output"), but be aware that this plugin is still experimental and it is issue related in some cases.

== Playing certain files over HTTP doesn't seem to work in foobar2000. It works in other players. What's wrong? ==
foobar2000 uses MIME types to determine the file type of a given file. If an invalid MIME type is returned, it will cause foobar2000 to use the wrong decoder. If an unidentified MIME type is returned, foobar2000 will use the extension to determine the file's contents. Using the extension to determine the file's contents is a difficult thing to do in code, and is unlikely to be included in foobar2000. To fix the problem, get the server to return valid MIME types. This is a server-side problem, not a foobar2000 problem.

== Foobar2000 shut down improperly / crashed, and now my recent changes are all gone! How do I prevent this in the future? ==
Foobar2000 automatically saves configuration changes (including edits to the playlists) only when it is closed properly. If foobar2000 crashed, you should first try to find and remove the cause of the crash, e.g., an unstable third-party component. There are, of course, other causes for an improper shutdown, such as Windows crashing or a power outage. To reduce the risk of losing changes, you should manually save the settings by doing one of the following:
* Closing and restarting foobar2000 during/after making major changes
* Using the Save All button in the Preferences window
* Binding the 'Save Configuration' command to a keyboard shortcut/toolbar button.

= Foobar2000 and other players =

== Is foobar really better than Winamp? ==
There is no set answer. According to public opinion, foobar is great for people wanting a minimal player, as well as the opposite: people needing advanced features. However, the medium users are lost between the profusion of settings and components to find. Some relevant links:

* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20322 Tell us why have you chosen foobar2000, or why don't you like it]
* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29501&hl=winamp Could foobar2000 replace winamp?]

== I won't leave iTunes, it manages my iPod perfectly! ==
Maybe this will change your mind: [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=45160&hl=dop foo_dop].

== How do I add the iTunes like panel showing (genre, artist, album)? ==
Use [http://foobar2000.audiohq.de/foo_facets/ Facets] if you're using DefaultUI or the "Filter" UI component that comes with the latest version of Columns UI. You can also use [http://www.bazquux.com/wiki/Foobar2000:Browser foo_browser] with ColumnUI.

== How do I add the iTunes like search toolbar? ==
Use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44012 foo_uie_quicksearch].

== Why do my songs show a square block next to the title/artist fields in iTunes? ==
Although the ID3v2.4 is the standard, iTunes (and many other software players as well as portables) still support only ID3v2.3. A workaround for this is to use compatibility mode tagging (Preferences -> Advanced -> Tagging -> MP3 -> "ID3v2 Compatibility Mode")

== How do I have a Winamp / MediaMonkey style "now playing" playlist? ==
Unlike winamp (and mediamonkey), there is no special "now playing" playlist in foobar; the foobar way of doing things is to play playlists. That said, you can use the playback queue to get a similar functionality. Instead of clicking "play", use the "add to playback queue" command. You can use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t47650-50.html foo_uie_queuemanager] component to display a panel that displays queued songs.

* If you are using Columns UI, it has a popup notification feature too ("Preferences -> Display -> ColumnsUI -> Status Bar/Systray (tab) -> Show popup notification baloon")

== Is there a way to map my multimedia keyboard keys? ==
You can assign actions with keys including multimedia key from the in "Preference -> General -> Keyboard Shortcuts". If it still does not work, take a look at [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=39a242a80d03f35b424165dd8e06be6b&showtopic=50067 this] tutorial.

= Columns UI =

== How do I know which component is meant to be used with Columns UI?==
[[Foobar2000:Components_0.9|Component section]] of the wiki shows which plugin you can use for ColumnsUI's interface.

== How can I get tabbed panels? ==
Use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=46106&st=0&p=410247&#entry410247 uie tabs]. Also, the latest version of Column UI (0.2.0 Alpha 3) has the feature built-in.

== Where are the options for changing the playback buttons? ==
Right click on buttons area → Customise...

== How can I display the album art and cover above my playlist? ==
To set the panels above your playlist, just use <tt>list all toolbars</tt>, then add the panels/toolbars/visualizations that you want to use. Organize them as you want them to be displayed. And finally, use the 'minimum height' values of the corresponding panels. As it is not a common way to use the toolbar, you may experience some unexpected behaviour. Keep in mind that it may create some display problems. Musicmusic may fix this into the next version of Columns UI.

== I have more questions. ==
Refer to the [http://yuo.be/wiki/columns_ui:faqs official ColumnsUI FAQ].

= Media Library, Tagging & Album Cover =

== I updated my tags, but foobar still shows the old tags. How can I fix this? ==
This happens almost exclusively when you use a third party program to update tags (updates made by Foobar2000 itself are immediately reflected). Select the file(s), right click on any of them, go to Tagging, then click on "Reload Info from File(s)".

== How can I fill in tags based on file names or directory structure? ==
Right click on the file(s) in the playlist → open the [[Foobar2000:Properties|Properties dialog]] → choose "Automatically Fill Values" from its "Tools" menu. For more details, see the [[Foobar2000:Properties/Automatically Fill Values|Automatically Fill Values]] page.

== How can I automatically assign tracknumbers to a group of files? ==
Select all tracks that need to be filled with tracknumbers → right click → open the [[Foobar2000:Properties|Properties dialog]] → choose "Auto Track Number" from the "Tools" menu.

== Is there a way to have album covers downloaded automatically? ==
Unfortunately, it is not possible. But, there is a way to be 2 clicks away from those cover arts. Take a look at [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=43429&hl=cover+download this thread] for more info.

== How can I make a playlist containing duplicate entries? ==
Unfortunately, this is not possible. However, you can use the album list panel component to remove the dead entries from your library, and use a free program like [http://zabkat.com/xplorer2] to find the duplicate files in your computer.

== How can I make a playlist containing files recently added to the media library? ==
One of the information which the [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] collects is the time a file was added to the Media Library. This data is accessible by the %added% field, so you can search by a query such as <tt>%added% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS</tt> in Facets, Album List, or Media Library Search.

== How do I save tags in a database (as opposed to writing it in the file)? ==
The [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] stores the information it has collected in a database by default. If you need to store some other information in a database, use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=45994 foo_custominfo]. Note that foo_custominfo is incompatible with foobar2000 since version 0.9.5.3.

== How do I tag various artist albums (compilations)? ==
Enter the information in the Album Artist tag. Most people use "VA", "Various" or "Various Artists", but you can put anything you want.

= Titleformatting =

== How can I display information about the next track in the playlist? ==
This is not possible in foobar2000 since v0.9.5.3.

== How can I calculate and display how long it's been since I last played a track? ==
The [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9/Playback_Statistics_(foo_playcount)|official playback statistics component (foo_playcount)]] stores the information in the <tt>%last_played%</tt> field. However, the current system time cannot be retrieved via titleformatting in foobar2000 v0.9.5.3 and beyond, so in most cases, you cannot calculate how long it has been (e.g., in days) since a track was last played. (See the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=58233&view=findpost&p=564223 relevant discussion] at the Hydrogenaudio forums.)

The one exception is [[Foobar2000:Components 0.9/Columns UI (foo ui columns)|ColumnsUI (foo_ui_columns)]], which makes <tt>%_system_year%, %_system_day%, %_system_month%, %_system_day_of_week%,</tt> and <tt>%_system_hour%</tt> available. Hence it is technically possible to calculate and display the difference, but it is only accessible from within the Columns UI playlists.

== How can I apply color changes to my titleformatting results? ==
The <tt>$rgb()</tt> command is currently unsupported in the Default UI playlist. For complex coloring schemes, you need to use [[Foobar2000:Components 0.9/Columns UI (foo ui columns)|ColumnsUI (foo_ui_columns)]].

= Troubleshooting =

== List of banned components ==
Before posting bug reports, be sure that none of [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44213 those problematic components] are installed.

== There is always a long delay before changes to the DSPs take effect. Can I reduce this? ==
Try reducing the output buffer length from Preferences → Playback → Output → (your selected output method). However, do not put it at the minimum length. 300ms should be enough (more if you are using several DSPs).

== What are metadb_handle leaks? ==
metadb_handles are resources used in the metadata management in foobar2000. A leak indicates that a component does not release them (in time). The overall effect of such a leak is relatively harmless. Nevertheless, this is a programming error and foobar2000 detects and reports it to the user. Unfortunately, it is not possible for foobar2000 to detect which component caused the leak.

== I hear static when fading in/out - pause/unpause. ==
Be sure you have the latest sound drivers installed and disable your DSPs before reporting it. Some users reported that using [http://foobar2000.org/components/index.html Kernel Streaming] instead of the default output fixed the problem ("Preferences -> Playback -> Output"), but be aware that this plugin is still experimental and it is issue related in some cases.

== Playing certain files over HTTP doesn't seem to work in foobar2000. It works in other players. What's wrong? ==
foobar2000 uses MIME types to determine the file type of a given file. If an invalid MIME type is returned, it will cause foobar2000 to use the wrong decoder. If an unidentified MIME type is returned, foobar2000 will use the extension to determine the file's contents. Using the extension to determine the file's contents is a difficult thing to do in code, and is unlikely to be included in foobar2000. To fix the problem, get the server to return valid MIME types. This is a server-side problem, not a foobar2000 problem.

== Foobar2000 shut down improperly / crashed, and now my recent changes are all gone! How do I prevent this in the future? ==
Foobar2000 automatically saves configuration changes (including edits to the playlists) only when it is closed properly. If foobar2000 crashed, you should first try to find and remove the cause of the crash, e.g., an unstable third-party component. There are, of course, other causes for an improper shutdown, such as Windows crashing or a power outage. To reduce the risk of losing changes, you should manually save the settings by doing one of the following:
* Closing and restarting foobar2000 during/after making major changes
* Using the Save All button in the Preferences window
* Binding the 'Save Configuration' command to a keyboard shortcut/toolbar button.

= Foobar2000 and other players =

== Is foobar really better than Winamp? ==
There is no set answer. According to public opinion, foobar is great for people wanting a minimal player, as well as the opposite: people needing advanced features. However, the medium users are lost between the profusion of settings and components to find. Some relevant links:

* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20322 Tell us why have you chosen foobar2000, or why don't you like it]
* [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=29501&hl=winamp Could foobar2000 replace winamp?]

== I won't leave iTunes, it manages my iPod perfectly! ==
Maybe this will change your mind: [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=45160&hl=dop foo_dop].

== How do I add the iTunes like panel showing (genre, artist, album)? ==
Use [http://foobar2000.audiohq.de/foo_facets/ Facets] if you're using DefaultUI or the "Filter" UI component that comes with the latest version of Columns UI. You can also use [http://www.bazquux.com/wiki/Foobar2000:Browser foo_browser] with ColumnUI.

== How do I add the iTunes like search toolbar? ==
Use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=44012 foo_uie_quicksearch].

== Why do my songs show a square block next to the title/artist fields in iTunes? ==
Although the ID3v2.4 is the standard, iTunes (and many other software players as well as portables) still support only ID3v2.3. A workaround for this is to use compatibility mode tagging (Preferences -> Advanced -> Tagging -> MP3 -> "ID3v2 Compatibility Mode")

== How do I have a Winamp / MediaMonkey style "now playing" playlist? ==
Unlike winamp (and mediamonkey), there is no special "now playing" playlist in foobar; the foobar way of doing things is to play playlists. That said, you can use the playback queue to get a similar functionality. Instead of clicking "play", use the "add to playback queue" command. You can use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t47650-50.html foo_uie_queuemanager] component to display a panel that displays queued songs.

Foobar2000:FAQ

2010-10-19T12:43:19Z

Shakey snake: /* How can I make a playlist containing files recently added to the media library? */

{{fb2k}}

= General =

== Is this the only FAQ? ==
No. There is [http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ.html an official one] at the foobar2000.org site. It is maintained independently of this one, and covers different topics.

== Is foobar2000 still under active development? ==
Yes. Please see the forum and the foobar2000 homepage for the latest version and news about upcoming versions.

== I have Windows Vista and my foobar2000 has strange behavior. Do you plan on fixing those bugs soon? ==
Foobar2000 fully supports Windows Vista (other than a limitation in Windows Explorer which causes the "Enqueue" command to not work properly with a large number of files). The problem is most probably due to a component, so updating to the latest version might resolve the problem.

== I'm looking for a specific feature. How should I know if a third-party component suits my needs ? ==
If you are not the Ctrl+F kind of person with your web browser, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get familiar with it. Go to the [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9|components section]], press Ctrl+F and search for keywords related to what you are looking for. [http://pelit.koillismaa.fi/plugins/index.php Foobar2000 official 3rd party components site] is another option, although it does not contain all the components known for 0.9.x at the moment. You will hopefully find something that suits you. Otherwise, maybe you can make a request in the foobar2000 forum or even better, code it yourself then share it with the community!

== How do I upgrade Foobar2000? ==
If it's a minor upgrade (e.g. 0.9.3 -> 0.9.4) then simply install it in the same directory. Remember to select the same "per user" setting while installing; you could lose all your configurations otherwise. If it's a major upgrade (e.g. 0.8 -> 0.9), it's recommended that you uninstall the previous version before installing the newer version, because the components are (almost always) incompatible with the newer version.

== Where can I find old versions of Foobar2000? ==
Old versions can be found [http://www.filehippo.com/download_foobar2000/ at filehippo.com]. Although old versions may be lacking critical bug fixes, they can be useful if you need to use a component or operating system that is no longer supported by the current version. For example, Windows 2000 users can't use foobar2000 versions newer than 0.9.4.5.

= Playback =

== How can I send my files from Windows Explorer into a specific playlist, so as not to erase my active playlist? ==

Preferences → General → Always send to playlist (playlist name)

== Why does dragging and dropping directories / files have erratic results? ==
The culprit is most likely an input component. Removing the input components and adding them back one-by-one can help you pinpoint the location. Note: Haali has coded a stable Matroska component that doesn't cause this problem.

== Why can't I listen to unfinished downloading files? ==
Foobar2000 needs exclusive access to files being played - they can be read by other software while foobar2000 is accessing them but not written to. A good workaround is to copy the unfinished file, then try to play it.

== The 'Previous' button doesn't work. ==
In Random playback mode, the Previous button behaves as a Stop button.

== How can I (automatically) move to the currently playing track in the playlist? ==
By default, double-clicking the status bar will highlight the currently playing track. To make it automatic, select Playback > Cursor follows playback.

= Look & Feel =

== I just saw a great looking foobar2000 window, but I don't know how to get mine looking the same way! Is there no hope for me? ==

Foobar2000:File Operations (foo fileops)

2010-10-19T12:39:58Z

Shakey snake:

{{fb2k}}

The '''file operations''' dialog box allows you to copy, move, rename, and delete files from within foobar2000. The key benefits of using the file operations component (as opposed to using Windows Explorer) are:
* Based on [[Foobar2000:Title_Formatting_Reference |title formatting]].
* The Media Library and playlists are automatically updated to reflect the change.
* Data from the [[Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)|official playback statistics component]] is preserved when moving files.
** Note: If the files are moved to a folder which is not monitored by the Media Library, they will be removed from the Media Library and playback statistics will also be lost.

=Usage=
The optional component <tt>foo_fileops</tt> is required. To install this component, run the foobar2000 installer and check Optional features > Tools > File Operations. Once installed, you can right-click a group of tracks in the playlist and File Operations will appear in the context menu.

[[Image:Foobar-Fileops-1.png|center]]

* '''Operation''': Copy, rename, or move the files. Note that some options below will be disabled depending on the selected operation.
* '''Presets''': See below.
* '''Destination Folder''': The root destination folder. You cannot use title formatting in this field, and the folder must already exist.
* '''File Name Pattern''': Specify how the files will be named, and indicate any subfolders (separated by '\'). Title formatting is allowed in this field, and any subfolder which does not exist will be created under the destination folder. The '...' button allows you to select from a set of preset patterns.

* '''Options''':
** Copy/Move Entire Source Folder Content: Useful when you have supplementary files such as cover art in the music folder.
** Remove Empty Source Folders

* '''Preview''': Shows the potential results of the file operation.

==Presets==
[[Image:Foobar-Fileops-2.png|center]]

Presets allow you to save the current settings in the File Operations Setup dialog. Once a preset is created, it is not only accessible from the setup dialog, but from the context menu under File Operations. The latter opens a preview/confirmation dialog (shown above), and you can access the detailed setup menu with the 'More...' button.

==Usage Tips==
* Beginning in 0.9.6.4, symbols which are invalid in folder and file names such as '''/ \ |:''' get replaced by a '''-''', '''*''' gets replaced by '''x''', '''"''' gets replaced with '''''''', and '''? < >''' get replaced by an '''_'''.
* You may want to consider using <tt>$ascii()</tt> or <tt>$ansi()</tt> to sanitize the names when applying file operations.

Foobar2000:Components/Playback Statistics v3.x (foo playcount)

2010-08-05T01:00:19Z

Shakey snake:

{{fb2k}}
This component collects and maintains statistics for played songs.

The statistics include:
* Time/date first played
* Time/date last played
* Playback count
* Time/date added to the Media Library
* Rating

== New playback statistics data pinning scheme introduced in version 3.0 ==
Playback statistics are now pinned to a combination of artist + album + disc number + track number + track title information, contrary to pre-3.0 versions which would pin data to file paths.

The consequences of this behavior are:
* Statistics are shared between redundant copies of the same tracks - useful when you keep separate copies of your music in different formats such as lossy + lossless.
* Automatic carrying over of statistics when acquiring the same music in another format, as long as tags match.
* No risk of data loss when moving files around or between computers.

When editing tags, affected playback statistics records are transferred accordingly.

Starting from version 3.0, collection of playback statistics is no longer restricted to your Media Library content. You can use this component without using Media Library at all, however, you should keep your non-ML music referenced from a playlist for foobar2000 to maintain the statistics.

Playback statistics data is no longer dropped when the tracks are removed from the media library. A record gets removed when no matching track has been seen by foobar2000 (in Media Library or in any playlist or in an imported XML backup of playback statistics) for four weeks.

== Backwards compatibility ==
As with all previous releases, this component is fully backwards compatible with databases created by any versions released publicly before. If you have used an earlier version of the Playback Statistics component before, your existing data will be automatically imported on first run.

If you wish to keep the ability to revert to an older 2.x version, please back up your PlaybackStatistics.dat file before running the new component first time.

== XML backup functionality ==
You can export playback statistics to an XML file and import them later, through ''Library => Playback Statistics'' menu commands, or through context menu on specific tracks. This can be used to easily transfer playback statistics between different foobar2000 installations or profiles.

== Title formatting fields ==
* ''%first_played%'' - date/time at which the song was played for the first time.
* ''%last_played%'' - date/time at which the song was played last time.
* ''%play_count%'' - how many times the song has been played.
* ''%played_per_day%'' - estimate how many times per day the song has been played, based on time first played, time last played and times played.
* ''%added%'' - date/time at which the song was added to the Media Library.
* ''%rating%'' - song's rating, on a 1..5 scale.
* ''%rating_stars%'' - song's rating, formatted as up to five stars, e.g. ★★★
* ''%rating_stars_fixed%'' - song's rating, formatted as five stars, e.g. ★★★☆☆

Note that you may need to change your fonts for the stars-formatting fields to produce readable output.

== Compatibility ==
foobar2000 v1.1 or newer is required, beta versions included.

Foobar2000:Title Formatting Reference

2010-05-20T21:46:54Z

Shakey snake: /* Album list */

{{fb2k}}
This article contains information about built-in titleformatting functions and field references with special meaning. References to documentation about fields and function which can only be used in specific components or which are provided by specific components can be found at the end of this article.

A field reference is a field name enclosed in percent signs, for example ''%artist%''. A function call starts with a dollar sign, followed by the function name and the parameter list. A parameter list can either be empty - denoted as ''()'' - or contain one or more parameters separated by commata, for example ''$abbr(%artist%)''. Note that there must be no whitespace between the dollar sign and the function name, or the function name and the opening parenthesis of the parameter list.

Please see [[Foobar2000:Title Formatting Introduction|Title Formatting Introduction]] for a presentation of titleformat syntax in general. For details of the query syntax, which uses these fields, see: [[Foobar2000:Query_syntax|Query Syntax]].

= Field remappings =

Some of the fields accessible through ''%name%'' are remapped to other values to make writing titleformat scripts more convenient.

== Metadata ==

=== %album artist% ===
Name of the artist of the album specified track belongs to. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "album artist", "artist", "composer", "performer". The difference between this and ''%artist%'' is that ''%album artist%'' is intended for use where consistent value across entire album is needed even when per-track artists values vary.

=== %album% ===
Name of the album specified track belongs to. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "album", "venue".

=== %artist% ===
Name of the artist of the track. Checks following metadata fields, in this order: "artist", "album artist", "composer", "performer". For a SHOUTcast stream which contains metadata, it is the StreamTitle up to the first "-" character.

=== %discnumber% ===
Index of disc specified track belongs to, within the album. Available only when "discnumber"/"disc" field is present in track’s metadata.

=== %track artist% ===
Name of the artist of the track; present only if ''%album artist%'' is different than ''%artist%'' for specific track. Intended for use together with ''%album artist%'', to indicate track-specific artist info, e.g. "%album artist% - %title%[ '//' %track artist%]". In this case, the last part will be displayed only when track-specific artist info is present.

=== %title% ===
Title of the track. If "title" metadata field is missing, file name is used instead. For a SHOUTcast stream which contains metadata, it is the StreamTitle after the first "-" character.

=== %tracknumber% ===
Two-digit index of specified track within the album. Available only when "tracknumber" field is present in track’s metadata.

== Technical information ==

=== %bitrate% ===
Bitrate of the track; includes dynamic VBR bitrate display for currently played track.

=== %channels% ===
Number of channels in the track (mono/stereo/etc). Returns the number of channels in text form; returns "mono" and "stereo" instead of "1" and "2".

=== %filesize% ===
Defined as ''%_filesize%''. Returns the filesize in bytes.

=== %filesize_natural% ===
Size of the file, automatically formatted in appropriate units such as megabytes or kilobytes.

=== %samplerate% ===
Sample rate of the track, in Hz.

=== %codec% ===
Name of codec used to encode the track. If exact codec name is not available, file extension is used.

== Special fields ==

= Control flow =

The functions in this section can be used to conditionally execute statements.

=== [...] (conditional section) ===

Evaluates the expression between ''['' and '']''. If it has the truth value ''true'', its string value and the truth value ''true'' are returned. Otherwise an empty string and ''false'' are returned.

Example: ''[%artist%]'' returns the value of the artist tag, if it exists. Otherwise it returns nothing, when ''artist'' would return "?".

=== $if(cond,then) ===

If ''cond'' evaluates to ''true'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise, ''false'' is returned.

=== $if(cond,then,else) ===

If ''cond'' evaluates to ''true'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise, the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $if2(a,else) ===

Like ''$if(a,a,else)'' except that ''a'' is only evaluated once.

=== $if3(a1,a2,...,aN,else) ===

Evaluates arguments ''a1'' ... ''aN'', until one is found that evaluates to ''true''. If that happens, its value is returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $ifequal(n1,n2,then,else) ===

Compares the integer numbers ''n1'' and ''n2'', if ''n1'' is equal to ''n2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $ifgreater(n1,n2,then,else) ===

Compares the integer numbers ''n1'' and ''n2'', if ''n1'' is greater than ''n2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $iflonger(s1,s2,then,else) ===

Compares the length of the strings ''s1'' and ''s2'', if ''s1'' is longer than ''s2'', the ''then'' part is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise the ''else'' part is evaluated and its value returned.

=== $select(n,a1,...,aN) ===

If the value of ''n'' is between 1 and N, ''an'' is evaluated and its value returned. Otherwise ''false'' is returned.

= Arithmetic functions =

The functions in this section can be used to perform arithmetic on integer numbers. A string will be automatically converted to a number and vice versa. The conversion to a number uses the longest prefix of the string, that can be interpreted as number. Leading whitespace is ignored.

Example: "c3po" → 0, " -12" → -12, but "- 12" → 0

=== $add(a,b) ===

Adds ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$add(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$add($add(a,b),...)''.

=== $div(a,b) ===

Divides ''a'' through ''b''. If ''b'' evaluates to zero, it returns ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$div(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$div($div(a,b),...)''.

=== $greater(a,b) ===

Returns true, if ''a'' is greater than ''b'', otherwise false.

=== $max(a,b) ===

Returns the maximum of ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$max(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$max($max(a,b),...)''.

=== $min(a,b) ===

Returns the minimum of ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$min(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$min($min(a,b),...)''.

=== $mod(a,b) ===

Computes the remainder of dividing ''a'' through ''b''. The result has the same sign as ''a''. If ''b'' evaluates to zero, the result is ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$mod(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$mod($mod(a,b),...)''.

=== $mul(a,b) ===

Multiplies ''a'' and ''b''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$mul(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$mul($mul(a,b),...)''.

=== $muldiv(a,b,c) ===

Multiplies ''a'' and ''b'', then divides by ''c''. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.

=== $rand() ===

Generates a random number in the range from 0 to 2<sup>32</sup>-1. Available only in sort-related contexts, such as the ''Edit → Sort → Sort by ...'' menu command.

=== $sub(a,b) ===

Subtracts ''b'' from ''a''.

Can be used with an arbitrary number of arguments. ''$sub(a,b,...)'' is the same as ''$sub($sub(a,b),...)''.

= Boolean functions =

The functions in this section can be used to work with truth values (''true'' and ''false''), which have no explicit representation in titleformat scripts. They do not return a string or number value. You can use them for more complex conditions with ''$if'' and related functions.

=== $and(...) ===

Logical And of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if and only if all arguments evaluate to ''true''.

Special case: ''$and(x,y)'' is ''true'', if both ''x'' and ''y'' are ''true''. Otherwise it is ''false''.

=== $or(...) ===

Logical Or of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if at least one argument evaluates to ''true''.

Special case: ''$or(x,y)'' is ''true'', if ''x'' or ''y'' is ''true'', or if both are ''true''. Otherwise it is ''false''.

=== $not(x) ===

Logical Not. Returns ''false'', if ''x'' is ''true'', otherwise it returns ''true''.

=== $xor(...) ===

Logical Exclusive-or of an arbitrary number of arguments. Returns ''true'', if an odd number of arguments evaluate to ''true''.

Special case: ''$xor(x,y)'' is ''true'', if one of ''x'' and ''y'' is ''true'', but not both. Otherwise it is ''false''.

= Color functions =

=== $blend(color1,color2,part,total) ===

Returns a color that is a blend between ''color1'' and ''color2''. If ''part'' is smaller than or equal to zero, ''color1'' is returned. If ''part'' is greater than or equal to ''total'', ''color2'' is returned. Otherwise a blended color is returned that is ''part'' parts ''color1'' and ''total''-''part'' parts ''color2''. The blending is performed in the RGB color space.

=== $hsl() ===

Resets the text color to the default color.

=== $hsl(h,s,l) ===

Sets the color for text in the HSL color space. ''h'', ''s'' and ''l'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for unselected text. The color for selected text is set to the inverse color.
The ranges of ''h'', ''s'', and ''l'' are from 0 to 240; the function is designed to interpret those values in the same way as the standard Windows color dialog.

=== $hsl(h1,s1,l1,h2,s2,l2) ===

Sets the color for text in the HSL color space. ''h1'', ''s1'' and ''l1'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for unselected text. ''h2'', ''s2'' and ''l2'' are the hue, saturation, and lightness of the color for selected text.

=== $rgb() ===

Resets the text color to the default color.

=== $rgb(r,g,b) ===

Sets the color for text. ''r'', ''g'' and ''b'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for unselected text. The color for selected text is set to the inverse color.

=== $rgb(r1,g1,b1,r2,g2,b2) ===

Sets the color for text. ''r1'', ''g1'' and ''b1'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for unselected text. ''r2'', ''g2'' and ''b2'' are the red, green and blue component of the color for selected text.

=== $transition(string,color1,color2) ===

Inserts color codes into ''string'', so that the first character has ''color1'', the last character has ''color2'', and intermediate characters have blended colors. The blending is performed in the RGB color space. Note that color codes are additional characters that will also be counted by string manipulation functions. For example, if you need to truncate a string, you should do this before applying ''$transition''.

! output
|-
|<pre>$put(foo,bar)$char(10)

* ''Help'' will open the corresponding wiki page on Hydrogenaudio, in the default browser.
* ''OK'' applies any configuration changes and closes the dialog.
* ''Cancel'' closes the dialog discarding any changes made to the configuration.
* ''Apply'' applies any configuration changes but without closing the dialog.
