=General=
'''foo_queuecontents''' enables the user to edit and view queue contents through an ui element. Both the Default User Interface (DUI) and Columns User Interface (CUI/uie) are supported. As a legacy option, queue contents can also be viewed and edited by a special queue playlist, which is updated automatically with queue contents.

The component started as a modification of '''foo_locktest''' (by foosion) but since then it has developed much further.

===Download link===
The component is available from [http://sites.google.com/site/salskisite/foo_queuecontents/foo_queuecontents.zip?attredirects=0&d=1 here]. Install the .zip package in "Preferences > Components", or manually by unziping '''foo_queuecontents.dll''' to foobar2000 components directory.

Source code for the component is available from [http://sites.google.com/site/salskisite/foo_queuecontents/]. The licence is inside the zip file.

===Discussion===
Please use [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=73648 this thread] to provide feedback, or to report any bugs you might have found.

===Requirements===
foobar2000 1.x and Column UI 0.3.8.x (Optional). The component will not work with previous versions of foobar.

===Getting started===
The recommended way to use foo_queuecontents is to use the UI element. Just add the panel as you would any other UI element. The element can be found under ''Utility'' category in DUI, or under ''Panels'' category in CUI with the name ''Queue Contents Editor''.

The component is ready to use :)

=Features and Usage=
As stated before the component supports two kind of interfaces: UI element (CUI/DUI) and a special playlist for displaying/editing queue contents.

=== UI Element ===
[[Image:item_context.png|thumb|right|275px|UI Element: Context menu for queue items]]
[[Image:header_context.png|thumb|right|275px|UI Element: Context menu for column header]]
UI element works with both popular user interfaces for foobar: Default UI and Columns UI.
Following features are supported in each:
* Views items currently in the queue using interface similar to foobar default playlist component.
* Reorder queue items by drag & drop, and by using keyboard shortcuts similar to foobar default playlist component.
* Delete queue items through the context menu, or pressing the delete key.
* Add items to queue by drag & drop. Files can be dragged either outside or inside from foobar. Files that are dragged from a foobar playlist are queued in the same way they would have been with the ''Add to Playback Queue'' command.
* Fully user-customizable columns in the UI element. You can add, delete and reorder columns however you like. User can define new columns with custom format strings from the preferences.
* Optionally auto-size of columns so that ''column width/element width'' ratio is kept constant (''Auto-scale Columns with Window Size'').
* Optionally show or hide the column header. You can always show the column header by clicking anywhere in the UI element and clicking ''Show Column Header''.

=== Playlist (legacy) ===
Queue playlist functionality has been from the start. It is now considered obsolete/legacy option since reflecting queue contents in a separate playlist is confusing to say the least. It also has strange behaviour (due to inherent features of a playlist) that might confuse people. However, the functionality is preserved for compatibility reasons. UI element is recommended over the playlist functionality.

Features:
* Queue contents are reflected to a special playlist. The items are ordered according to their queue position, i.e. items on the top of the playlist are played first.
* All changes (deletions, insertions and reordering) to playlist is reflected also to queue.
* Queue playlist name can be changed by just renaming the playlist. It can also be changed from the foobar preferences.
* Queue playlist functionality is disabled by default but it can be enabled from the preferences.

=Configuration=
[[Image:preferences.png|thumb|300px|Queue Contents Editor Preferences]]
Configuration of the columns is very straight-forward and should be familiar to anyone with foobar DUI experience. Each column has the following properties:
* Name, used for the column header in the UI element
* Pattern, format string for displaying information about the queue item. Click ''Syntax Help'' for more information on format strings.
* Alignment, alignment of the column.

In the pattern you can also use ''%queue_index%'' to reference item's position in the queue (first one has index 1), and ''%queue_total%'' to reference items currently in a queue.

For each queuecontents UI element you have, you can choose different columns to display by right-clicking the column header.

As a legacy option, foo_queuecontents supports reflecting of playlist contents to a special playlist. You can enable/disable the functionality from the preferences using the checkbox ''Enable Queue Playlist Feature''.

=Change Log=
* '''0.3.9 / 2010-05-20'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Finally fixed the bug which broke completely the queuecontents playlist behaviour.
** Improvements:
*** More default columns. They will be visible only for new installations (or if you reset your settings).
*** Better component description.
* '''0.3.8 / 2010-05-19'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Drag & Drop from queue playlist to UI element works now as expected (it will queue the items again to the specified position in the queue).
*** Removed warning related to configuration on first UI element startup since it is always expected.
** Improvements:
*** Drag & Drop to UI element from a playlist queues items to correct position
* '''0.3.7 / 2010-05-18'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Erratic queue playlist behaviour fixed.
** Improvements:
*** Queue playlist supports drag & drop better.
* '''0.3.6 / 2010-05-15'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Queue playlist item reorder problems solved.
*** Fixed crash when removing queuecontents panel when using Columns UI.
* '''0.3.5 / 2010-05-07'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Column order is preserved correctly after drag & drop of columns.
* '''0.3.4 / 2010-05-07'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Left and Right cursor keys works correctly in preferences when editing columns.
* '''0.3.3 / 2010-04-22'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Alignment of columns is now correctly displayed in the settings.
* '''0.3.2 / 2010-04-20'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Changes to column names are updated immediately in ui elements.
*** "Show Column Header" setting is now correctly preserved over different foobar2000 sessions.
*** ESC button works as expected in the preferences dialog: it closes it.
*** Fixed column size glitches when enabling/disabling auto-sizing of columns
** Improvements:
*** %queue_total% supported in format strings.
*** UI element automatically refreshes items when one of the queue items has a metadata change.
*** UI element has the same border style than the DUI playlist view.
*** Preferences dialog: When configuring columns, no need to press return key anymore, text is committed automatically. Also improved processing of ESC and other keys in the prerences.
*** Preferences dialog: Columns are sized reasonably by default
*** Preferences dialog: ''Syntax Help'' button for HA Syntax Help.
*** Preferences dialog: Help button brings to this wiki page.
*** Drag from playlist to ui element now correctly queues the item preserving the "link" to the playlist (i.e. playlist items will have %queue_index%) for the dragged items in the playlist).
**** Behaviour tested with DUI playlist and various playlist components for CUI.
**** NOTE: As far as I know there is no proper way to do this, and currently the program checks every drop against the active playlist selection. If they are the same (same items and in the same order), drop is interpreted as queuing from the playlist. In addition, I've implemented a check that matches the dropped items against ''currently selected items''. ''Currently selected items'' are the selected items of the currently focused UI element. This is not 100% fool proof but it should work in 99.9 % of the regular cases. (And in the 0.01 % of the cases it still doesn't explode the universe).
** Other:
*** Queue playlist functionality is now disabled by default for new installations.

* '''0.3.1 / 2010-04-13'''
** Bug fixes:
*** Foobar2000 keyboard shortcuts now work even if the uie element has the focus
*** Fixed column autosizing logic when resizing or adding a column

* '''0.3 / 2010-04-13'''
** '''Note that you will lose the format string you defined in version 0.2 when moving to a newer version. Please backup the format string before updating the component!'''
** Bug fixes:
*** reordering of queue playlist might fail if the playlist corresponding to a queue item is removed.
*** Wrong colors with default ui element when using system colors
*** When disabling queue playlist functionality, the playlist lock wasn't removed
*** When drag & dropping items to queue playlist, they are added twice.
*** Different selection logic in ui element when compared to default ui playlist
** Improvements:
*** Columns ui element support (CUI). Uses CUI font and color configuration facilities.
*** Added user-configurable columns support to ui elements. Columns can be configured from settings
*** Drag & Drop support for ui element outside and inside of foobar2000. Queue order can also be changed by drag & drop.
*** Added context menu to ui element with "Show Column Header", "Auto-Scale columns with Window Size", "Move To Top", "Move To Bottom" and "Delete" options.
*** selection of queue item(s) in the ui element is reflected in "Selection Properties" (and others like album art) UI element.
*** Focus and selection rectangle follows default ui playlist style (i.e. solid line)

Foobar2000:Default User Interface:List of UI Elements

2010-10-09T00:52:01Z

Yirkha: /* Third-party UI Elements */ Added more components.

The following UI elements are bundled with official installer and they are always available unless noted.

=== Containers ===
* '''Splitter (left/right or top/bottom)'''
A simple container which divides its area to two panes horizontally or vertically. The child elements can be resized by dragging the border between them. Moreover, size of each side can be locked, so that it will stay the same when the whole window is resized - this feature is available in splitter's popup menu.
* '''Tabs'''
This container uses the well-established concept of a tabbed document. It can have any number of pages, each page containing another child element(s). The popup menu have commands to add, remove, rename and reorder the individual tabs.
* '''Playlist Tabs'''
A tabbed container automatically populated with tabs corresponding to available playlists. Note that the child area is the same regardless of the active tab (playlist). Commonly used to host a "Playlist view" element.
* '''Toolbar Header'''
Shows a toolbar which can be filled with various buttons and controls, configurable in its popup menu. Additional options include whether to be shown at the top or bottom of assigned area, or if the toolbar should be locked to avoid rearranging the items. It can contain only one static child element.

=== Media Library Viewers ===
* '''Album List''' ''(available if selected during installation)''
UI element version of the Album List viewer, as available in the "Main menu > Library > Album List".
* '''Media Library Search'''

Various visualisations providing some graphical feedback. Most of them have their additional style, color or quality settings available in their popup menu.

=== Playlist Renderers ===
* '''Playlist View'''
Shows items of currently active playlist. Note that any number of "Playlist View" elements will all show the same content. Format of displayed columns and item grouping can be customized.

=== Selection Information ===
* '''Album Art Viewer'''
Shows album (cover) art image for the selected or currently playing track. Looks both for embedded images in the file itself and in its folder.
* '''Selection Properties'''
An element capable of displaying various information about the selected track(s). Popup menu allows customization of what kind of information to show.

=== Utility ===
* '''Console'''
UI element version of the Console window, as available in the "Main menu > View > Console".

Foobar2000:Components/Masstagger (foo masstag)

2010-10-09T00:40:37Z

Yirkha: Added section about command line interface

= Masstagger =
[[Image:Foobar2000-Masstagger.png]]

Masstagger is an advanced tool for editing the information of tags in multiple files.
'''Note:''' It's not available as part of foobar2000 0.9.5 or newer installers. It is still however available from the [http://www.foobar2000.org/components/author/Peter official components page].

Masstagger's main limitation is lack of WYSIWYG editing of tags, making it inefficient for typical tag editing scenarios. You should use the [[Foobar2000:Properties|Properties dialog]] instead unless you want to be able to quickly run predefined complex tagging tasks on your files.

== Basic usage ==
[[Image:Foobar2000-Masstagger-howtoactivate.png|thumb|Accessing the main Masstagger dialog]]
To open the main Masstagger dialog, select the tracks you want to work with and choose the "Manage Scripts" command from the context menu, under the "Tagging" submenu.

The left box displays a list of actions that are about to be performed on your tags. The actions are performed in descending order - actions placed lower on the list will operate on tags already altered by actions placed higher on the list.

The "scripts" box contains commands that allow you to save the current chain of actions or restore a chain of actions that was saved earlier.
There are two ways to store Masstagger scripts:
* In foobar2000 configuration - by using the "Save" / "Load" etc buttons - you can quickly load those scripts later, as well as access them directly from the "Tagging" / "Scripts" submenu of the context menu, as well as access them with [[Foobar2000:Preferences:General:Keyboard Shortcuts|keyboard shortcuts]].
* In external files - by using the "Export to file..." and "Import from file..." buttons - such scripts can be easily interchanged between users or between different foobar2000 installations.

== Available actions ==

=== Add value ===
Adds a new value to the specified metadata field. If the field already exists, a new value is added to its values; if it does not, it's created with a single value.

This is particularly useful when working with fields that often have more than one value, such as "ARTIST" or "GENRE".

For an example: an Add "GENRE" = "Rock" action will add "Rock" to the list of genres on affected tracks - if any of these tracks don't have a "GENRE" field yet, such field will be created, with one value equal to "Rock".

=== Auto track number ===
This gives the track number according to the order of the files in the selection.

=== Copy value ===
Copies one tag field to another.

===Embed cuesheet===
This action looks for a cuesheet named %filename%.cue or %filename_ext%.cue in the same folder as the file being processed and embeds it.

=== Format value from other fields ===
This action lets you enter a specific [[Foobar2000:Title Formatting Introduction|title formatting]] pattern for any tag field you wish to edit or create.

In addition to standard title formatting fields, starting with version 1.8.2 you can use %now% to fetch current system time.

=== Guess values from filename ===
Automatically fills metadata values according to file paths, according to a guessing pattern that you specify.

Note that this is similar to the [[Foobar2000:Properties/Automatically Fill Values|Automatically Fill Values dialog]].

The guessing pattern syntax is NOT based on title formatting - functions or field remappings do not apply here.

You can put slash characters in the guessing pattern to also retrieve data from names of folders containing your files.

For an example, if your directory structure is formatted as "Artist\(Date) Album\N. Title.ext" - eg. "Muse\(2006) Black Holes & Revelations\01. Take A Bow.mpc", you can transfer all relevant information from file paths to tags using the following pattern: "%artist%\(%date%) %album%\%tracknumber%. %title%".

=== Guess values from other fields ===
Similar to "Guess values from filename", except it uses other fields - through a [[Foobar2000:Title Formatting Introduction|title formatting string]] - as a source, instead of file names.

=== Input data (one line per track) ===
Enter the data for each song with the pattern indicated, line by line, (one line per song as it is said). Don't worry about the length, the lines could be very long (only adds a vertical scroll bar if it is too long).

=== Remove all fields ===
Removes all tag fields.

=== Remove all except for... ===
Removes all fields except for the ones that you specify. For an example, specify "title;album;artist" to remove all fields other than title, album and artist.

=== Remove field ===
Removes desired tag field.

=== Remove values... ===
Opposite of "Add value". Removes matching values of the specified field. Useful when dealing with multiple genre values for an example.

=== Replace values... ===
Replaces matching values of the specified field with the specified value. Useful for mass-fixing inconsistent tagging, especially when dealing with multi-value fields such as artist or genre, since only the matching value gets altered.

=== Set value... ===
Sets desired tag field (artist,album,etc) to the specified value.

=== Split field by separator... ===
Splits values of the specified field according to the specified separator string. For an example, if your tags have ARTIST fields formatted as "person1 & person2" instead of correct multiple values, you can use this action to split generate multiple values, by specifying "&" as the separator string.

=== Split multiple artist fields ===
If the artist field value contains characters such as "," or "&", the value gets split into multiple values accordingly.

Note: This is equivalent to having two "Split field by separator..." actions, both with field set to "ARTIST", one with separator set to "," and the other with separator set to "&".

== Notes on upgrading from older (pre-1.7) Masstagger versions ==
Various functionality that is now available through other components has been removed.
* File moving functionality - now available through the [[Foobar2000:File_operations|File Operations component]].
* Copying tags between tracks - see: [[Foobar2000:How to transfer tags between two sets of tracks|How to transfer tags between two sets of tracks]].

== Command line interface ==
Masstagger provides extra [[Foobar2000:Commandline_Guide|command line switches]] for tag modifications. Version 1.8.4 of the component shows this information:
Usage:

/tag:help - displays this message

/tag:<command1>[;<command2>;<command3>...] <file1> [<file2> <file3>...]

Commands:

<NAME>=<VALUE>
Sets <NAME> field to <VALUE>, e.g. "/tag:title=test <file>".
You can erase particular field by specifying empty value, e.g. "/tag:comment= <file>".
You can also specify multiple values by separating them with \ character, e.g. "/tag:artist=name1\name2 <file>".
AUTOTRACKNUMBER
Sets TRACKNUMBER field of multiple files according to their order in commandline.
E.g. "/tag:AUTOTRACKNUMBER <file1> <file2> <file3>" will assign TRACKNUMBER=1 to <file1>, 2 to <file2> and 3 to <file3>.
FORMAT:<FIELD>:<SPEC>
Formats <FIELD> using <SPEC>; see title formatting manual for more info how to use it.
E.g. "/tag:FORMAT:COMMENT:"%ARTIST% - %TITLE%" <file>".
GUESS:<PATTERN>:<SPEC>
Guesses field values using <PATTERN>, according to <SPEC>.
To perform "guess values from filename" action, use "/tag:GUESS:<PATTERN>:%_FILENAME% <file>".
E.g. "/tag:GUESS:"%TRACKNUMBER%. %TITLE%":%_FILENAME% <file>".

Foobar2000:Commandline Guide

2010-10-09T00:37:55Z

Yirkha: moar links

{{fb2k}}

=== General information ===
Some features of foobar2000 can be accessed through a simple command line interface.

Each command line parameter is either parsed as a command (starting with a slash) or a file/folder name to open or add to a playlist (the behaviour depends on other command line switches and setting under "Preferences > [[Foobar2000:Preferences:Shell_Integration|Shell Integration]"). Arguments containing spaces can be escaped using double quotes, e.g. »<tt>foobar2000.exe "01 First Track.mp3"</tt>« or »<tt>foobar2000.exe "/command:Play or pause"</tt>« or »<tt>foobar2000.exe /command:"Play or pause"</tt>«.

The set of available command line commands can be extended using additional components.

=== Basic commands ===
This is what »<tt>foobar2000.exe /?</tt>« shows as of version 1.1 – most of the commands are self-explanatory:
Available switches:
/add <list-of-files> - appends the specified files to the current playlist instead of replacing the playlist content and playing them immediately
/immediate - bypasses the "please wait" dialog when adding files
/play, /pause, /playpause, /prev, /next, /rand, /stop - playback controls
/exit - exits foobar2000
/show, /hide - shows or hides the main foobar2000 window
/config - opens the Preferences dialog
/command:<menu command> - invokes the specified main menu command
/playlist_command:<context menu command> - invokes the specified context menu command on current playlist selection
/playing_command:<context menu command> - invokes the specified context menu command on currently played track
/context_command:<context menu command> <files> - invokes the specified context menu command on the specified files

===== Clarifications =====
'''<tt>/add</tt>'''<br>
  Changes the default behaviour of "opening" (replace active playlist and start playback) files and directories found on the command line.

'''<tt>/immediate</tt>'''<br>
    foobar2000 always sorts incoming files using the pattern configured under "Preferences > [[Foobar2000:Preferences:Shell_Integration|Shell Integration]]". Because there is a possibility that more files belonging to the same batch will be passed to the program, adding the items really to a playlist is postponed until no new file is received for a short while, because only with the full set of incoming files they can be correctly sorted. Use this option to disable this behaviour for the currently added items.

'''<tt>/xxx_command:<...></tt>'''<br>
    The command names can be derived e.g. from the "Preferences > [[Foobar2000:Preferences:General:Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keyboard Shortcuts]]" dialog (''[main]'' for main menu commands, ''[context]'' for the other types). Use only the final command name, do not specify any part of the path or group name. (Note this limits the usage of these commands in some cases, look at the [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9/Run_Commands_(foo_runcmd)|foo_runcmd]] component if you need more functionality).

=== Extensions ===
Known components which provide additional command line functionality:
* [[Foobar2000:Components/Masstagger_(foo_masstag)|Masstagger (foo_masstag)]] – <tt>/tag:xxx</tt> commands for tag modifications.
* [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9/Run_Commands_(foo_runcmd)|Run Commands (foo_runcmd)]] – Family of <tt>/runcmd=...</tt> commands for advanced execution of main/context menu commands.

Foobar2000:Components 0.9/Chacon (foo chacon)

2010-09-07T11:36:51Z

Yirkha: /* Tutorial */ tyop

[[File:Foo_chacon.png|right]]
= Chacon (foo_chacon) =
Chacon (an acronym for ''charset convertor'') is a simple tool for fixing tags by converting them between different character sets.

The offered functionality is essentially similar to what the "Override charset" option in foo_infobox did, though it's accessed directly from the context menu and for any number of tracks at once.

The component can be generally used to fix ID3v1 tags or cue sheets saved in a code page different from that of your system, as well as to perform some more complex restoration of files mangled by programs which write incompatible/incorrect tags.

== Implementation details ==
foobar2000 reads Unicode tags as Unicode and multibyte tags as ISO-8859-1 or local Windows codepage, then converts this to UTF-8 for internal usage.

Multibyte tags saved on a system with different locale have been converted to UTF-8 incorrectly, so first it is necessary to get them back to the state they are stored in the file (it is not possible to get the raw string from the tag reader directly). That's what the first code page selector in Chacon does. Most of the time, "<system code page>" is the right choice - it will simply do the same conversion as the fb2k's reader did, only backwards (raw tag ―[system to UTF-8]→ UTF-8 ―[UTF-8 to system]→ raw tag). But for differently broken files (e.g. resaved as Unicode while already broken), this might need to be set to "<disable>" or an explicit character set.<br>
'''Note: The "system code page" to UTF-8 conversion is not guaranteed to be 100% reversible and therefore the conversion may fail for some characters in weird cases.'''

Then, when the tag is in its (presumably) original form again, a second conversion is performed, according to the second code page selector. You should choose the character set of the original data, which is often the system code page of the system where the file was originally saved.

== Tutorial ==
[[File:Foo_chacon-tut1.png]]<br>
For the start, let's have some songs with obviously broken tags in the playlist. I have two tracks here, both with the same original metadata, but with differently mangled artist name.

To invoke Chacon, select one and choose "Tagging > Fix Metadata Charset..." from the context (right-click) menu.

Naturally, you can select multiple items at once too, and from any other source (a whole playlist, album list node, result of search, etc.). It makes the whole process faster and safer.

[[File:Foo_chacon-tut2.png]]<br>
When the dialog appears, it might not be immediately obvious what to do here - that's because the current, default conversion is invalid and doesn't return anything meaningful at all.

This file is supposed to have its artist name in Japanese, so let's select some Japanese code page.

[[File:Foo_chacon-tut3.png]]<br>
There we go, the title is fine now. Shift-JIS is a very common code page for Japanese, but it could have been many other character sets.

Clicking on the drop-down list to try them one by one would be very slow, better use the arrow up and down keys when it has focus - you can go through the whole list fast and easy.

Now let's try the second file.

[[File:Foo_chacon-tut4.png]]<br>
As you can see, in this case, choosing only the original charset doesn't yield a proper result.

This file was "damaged" on a computer running with different system locale and therefore we have to choose the correct preconversion first.

[[File:Foo_chacon-tut5.png]]<br>
OK, seems like it was Latin 1.

But it can happen that it is not immediately obvious if the converted titles are right, mostly when they are in a foreign script you don't understand. Sometimes the correctness is more apparent with a whole album loaded (and you see no question marks or missing parts in any of the titles, not just one), but still, errors can occur. It often helps to search for the output text on the Internet and see if any pages are found which are related to the specified artist, contain track listings of the album or at least confirm you got a valid word.

To aid checking the results like this, it is possible to conveniently copy the current output to clipboard using the context menu - either only the contents of the current (clicked) column or the whole line. If you select more rows, the tags for all of them are copied.

[[File:Foo_chacon-tut6.png]]<br>
After clicking on "Apply", the tags are resaved using the proper Unicode encoding and should never bother you anymore. As long as you won't use some broken application, that is.

The selected conversion settings will be remembered, so if you regularly need to fix files garbled the same way, it will be just a few clicks.

Good luck!

= Chacon (foo_chacon) =
Chacon (an acronym for ''charset convertor'') is a simple tool for fixing tags by converting them between different character sets.

The offered functionality is essentially similar to what the "Override charset" option in foo_infobox did, though it's accessed directly from the context menu and for any number of tracks at once.

The component can be generally used to fix ID3v1 tags or cue sheets saved in a code page different from that of your system, as well as to perform some more complex restoration of files mangled by programs which write incompatible/incorrect tags.

== Implementation details ==
foobar2000 reads Unicode tags as Unicode and multibyte tags as ISO-8859-1 or local Windows codepage, then converts this to UTF-8 for internal usage.

Multibyte tags saved on a system with different locale have been converted to UTF-8 incorrectly, so first it is necessary to get them back to the state they are stored in the file (it is not possible to get the raw string from the tag reader directly). That's what the first code page selector in Chacon does. Most of the time, "<system code page>" is the right choice - it will simply do the same conversion as the fb2k's reader did, only backwards (raw tag ―[system to UTF-8]→ UTF-8 ―[UTF-8 to system]→ raw tag).

Yirkha: v1.0 changes

[[Category:foobar2000 Preferences|Context menu]]
=Context menu=
This page contains options for managing items of the context menu for tracks displayed in playlist and other media library viewers.

Previous: [[Foobar2000|Foobar2000:]][[Foobar2000:Preferences|Preferences:]][[Foobar2000:Preferences:Display|Display:]]

=Usage=
Individual items are hierarchically sorted in a tree, divided into groups. Each group appears as another popup menu, items in the base [ROOT] group show up in the context menu itself.

Items which are checked (marked with an [x] sign next to them) will be available by default. The rest will be shown only when you hold the Shift key while opening the context menu (clicking with the right mouse button on a list of tracks, for example).

This configuration does not affect other usage of context menu commands (keyboard shorcuts, custom user interface buttons, etc.).

=Subpages=

There are no subpages.

Foobar2000:Title Formatting Reference

2009-09-12T21:26:28Z

Yirkha: /* %path_raw% */

{{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''.

= Now playing info =
The following functions and fields are usable for scripts used with the currently playing item, for example the status bar, the main window title and the copy command script.

== Special fields ==

=== %playback_time% ===
Returns the elapsed time formatted as [HH:]MM:SS.

=== %playback_time_seconds% ===

=== %list_total% ===

Returns number of items in the playlist.

=== %queue_index% ===

Index of the specified item in the playback queue; available in playlist only. If the item has been queued multiple times, %queue_index% evaluates to the first index.

=== %queue_indexes% ===

List of indexes of the specified item in the playback queue; available in playlist only. Same as %queue_index% unless the item has been queued more than once.

=== %queue_total% ===

Total amount of tracks in playback queue. Available only for queued tracks, for technical reasons.

= String functions =

The functions in this section can be used to manipulate character strings.

=== $abbr(x) ===

Returns abbreviation of ''x''.

=== $abbr(x,len) ===

Returns abbreviation of ''x'', if ''x'' is longer than ''len'' characters, otherwise returns ''x''.

=== $ansi(x) ===

Converts ''x'' to system codepage and back. Any characters that are not present in the system codepage will be removed / replaced. Useful for mass-renaming files to ensure compatibility with non-unicode-capable software.

=== $ascii(x) ===

2009-07-22T21:10:10Z

Yirkha: Output modes

= Converter =

[[Image:Foobar2000-Converter_Setup.png]]

The Converter component is included with foobar2000 installers. It allows you to convert your audio files to other file formats.

Supported source file formats: any formats playable by your foobar2000 configuration, natively or through optional components.

Supported output file formats:
* [[WAV]] - natively
* [[AIFF]] - natively
* [[AU|AU/SND]] - natively
* [[FLAC]] - commandline encoder executable (FLAC.exe) required
* [[MP3]] - using [[LAME]] - commandline encoder executable (LAME.exe) required
* [[AAC|AAC/MP4]] - using [[Nero AAC]] encoder - commandline encoder executable (neroAacEnc.exe) required
* [[Ogg Vorbis]] - commandline encoder executable (OggEnc.exe) required
* [[WavPack]] - commandline encoder executable (wavpack.exe) required
More output file formats can be added using [[Foobar2000:Preferences:converter:custom presets|"custom" encoder mode]] with other commandline encoders.

Note that the Converter component is required for [[foobar2000:Ripping CDs|ripping CDs with foobar2000]].

== Output modes ==
'''Convert each track to an individual file'''<br>
Should be self-explaining.

'''Generate multi-track files'''<br>
May create multiple files, depending on the naming pattern, and, depending on the target format, creates embedded or external cue sheets, chapters,
or other means that allow you to access individual tracks in the created files.

'''Merge all tracks into one output file'''<br>
Creates only a single file, without any means to jump to individual tracks later.

== Options ==
=== Adding new files ===
These options deal with adding files using any way, whether it command line or drag and drop.
==== Sort incoming files by ====
This option defines the way files are sorted in playlist, just when added. By default, it's %path_sort%.
==== Restrict incoming files to ====
Type what filenames are allowed to be added. It supports ? and * symbols for masks. By default, it's * (asterisk, which means “all files”). As an example, if you set it to “*.MPC”, only MPC (Musepack) files will be added in future.
==== Exclude file types ====
Opposite to the previous options, this forbids filenames to be added. It supports ? and * symbols for masks. Empty by default. As an example, if you set it to “*.WAV”, no WAV files will be added in future.
==== Commandline ====
These options deal with adding files from commandline (all other ways than opening from player or using drag & drop).
===== Bring to front when adding new files from commandline =====
Does what it says. If unchecked, will add files in background, without popping.
===== <s>Enqueue incoming files by default when adding from commandline</s> =====
<s>If marked, adding new files will not overwrite contents of playlist tracks are being added to.</s>

<small>This option has been moved to "Preferences > File Types" since 0.9.6. That preferences page is not available in Portable version, as no file type associations are managed then -- if you are associating file types themselves, use appropriate command line switches yourself (e.g. /add).</small>
===== Always send to playlist =====
By default, foobar2000 adds files to the active playlist, this can be overridden here by checking the option and typing the name of playlist, eg “Temp”, or “Default”.
=== Other ===
==== Enable user profile support ====
If checked, this checkbox will change the location where foobar2000.cfg is stored from the folder in which foobar2000.exe resides to the Application Data folder the local user's user folder.
==== Reset stop-after-current when stopping ====
One may use ''Playback > Stop after current'' in the main menu. Checking ''this'' flag will reset it after stopping.
==== Change selection with cursor when “playback / cursor follows playback” is enabled ====
Does what it says

Tag (metadata)

2009-02-14T00:15:38Z

Yirkha:

== Tags ==

After ripping and encoding a media file, many people choose to add '''tags''' to the file. These tags are a form of [[metadata]] designed to hold information such as artist, album, track title and so on. As different audio formats evolve so do different tagging specifications have been developed. Below is a brief summary of these tagging specifications. Also, each format has technical information.

* [[ID3v1|ID3v1.x]]
* [[ID3v2|ID3v2.x]]
* [[Lyrics3|Lyrics3v2.x]]
* [[Vorbis comment|Vorbis comments]]
* [[APEv1]]
* [[APEv2]]
* [[Matroska tag|Matroska tags]]

To use the above tag formats you need some kind of tag editor. Most audio formats have their own program to add tags, but players like Winamp and foobar2000 can also edit tags and there are some general tagging utilities available (see the [[Download page]]).

'''Tagging standards''' have been set by the foobar2000 community, see [[foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards|here]].

== Common Tags ==
There are many tagging standards, and many media players, with many interpretations. The following is an outline on the basics of tagging.

=== Basic Tags ===
These tags are universal, and should work no matter what program or player you use. These are also the tags found in the ID3v1.1 spec. ''Note:'' The exact name of each field can vary from tagging standard to standard.
* ARTIST
* ALBUM
* DATE
* GENRE
* TITLE
* TRACKNUMBER
* COMMENT

=== Advanced Tags ===
These tags will get you less compatibility, but often times the basic tags aren't adequate for describing the media.
* ALBUM ARTIST
* DISC
* STYLE
* COMPOSER
* ENCODER
* COPYRIGHT
* PERFORMER
* BPM
* replaygain
* lyrics
* pictures
* and much more! (infinitely more)

=== Personalized Tags ===
The use of these tags is sometimes frowned upon, because they don't really describe the media. Nevertheless, they have widespread use.
* RATING
* ALBUM RATING
* FIRST PLAYED
* LAST PLAYED
* PLAY COUNT

Foobar2000:Encouraged Tag Standards

2009-02-14T00:04:13Z

Yirkha:

{{fb2k}}
== Disclaimer ==
The guidelines described in this document have been agreed upon by a group of foobar2000 users and titleformatting scripts authors. Adherence to these guidelines is not required to be able to use foobar2000, though some components or pre-made titleformatting scripts may require or enforce the use of a particular tag.

== Discussion and comments ==
You can leave comments about this page on the [[Foobar2000_Talk:Encouraged_Tag_Standards|Talk page]]. However, real discussion, proposals for new tag-standards, and decisions should happen in the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31530 forum-thread], because more people will notice it there and be able to give input.

== Codesnippets and foobar2000 versions ==
The codesnippets are meant for use in foobar2000 v0.9. Because of the new field-remappings introduced in v0.9, they do not work with older versions of foobar2000.

== General Tag Construction ==

* Use an easily understood English field name.
* Prefix album-related information with "ALBUM ", ie. "ALBUM ARTIST", "ALBUM SUBTITLE".
* Avoid use of non-alphabetical characters. For serial fields (for a bad example, FIELD1, FIELD2, etc.), merely enter them in the order that you wish them to be read in.
* Try to avoid the use of underscores. Spaces are easier to type, more legible, and as easily useable in Tagz. Spaces are also preferable to no spaces.

== Overview of Current Recommendations ==

FIELD NAME [format] (component)

* ALBUM ARTIST [e.g., Various Artists, The Foobar Collective] (none)<br>''Notes'': Field name is ALBUM ARTIST, with ''no underscore''. Tag should exist if and only if an album is by multiple artists, and be contained in every track. Track-specific artists should be entered in the ARTIST tag, never in the TITLE tag.<br>[http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#ALBUM_ARTIST (more about this standard)]
* FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED [2005-03-22 19:00:00...] ([http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20719 foo_playcount])<br>''Notes'': These two tags use underscores instead of spaces - reason for this was to make it consistent with the already existing PLAY_COUNTER-tag. Any amount or type of data may be placed after the time. Compliant TAGZ code shall use $substr() instead of $right() when extracting substrings from this field.<br>''See also'': [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Tips_%26_Tricks#Standardize_my_PLAY_DATE_and_PLAY_TIME_fields Standardize my PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME fields]<br>[http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#FIRST_PLAYED_and_LAST_PLAYED (more about this standard)]

=== ALBUM ARTIST ===
''Basics'':
*the tag-fieldname used for declaring and describing albums/split-EPs or split-singles which contain various artists is "ALBUM ARTIST" (separated with space, not underscore)
*tag should only exist if an album contains various artists. It should NOT be created when an album does not contain various artists.
*the tag can contain the overall artist of an album (like e.g. "the foo-bar collective",) multiple artists (e.g. with split-EPs) or if an album does not have a clear overall artist (for example with compilations) just "Various Artists". Simply said: you're free to enter whatever you like as long as it describes the overall album-wide artist(s).
*every track in a V.A.-album has to contain this tag with the same value
*the track-specific artist should be entered into the ARTIST-tag
*the TITLE-tag should only contain the track-title

''Reasons for this standard'':
*it solves all issues regarding albums which contain multiple artists with just one tag
*it is already in widespread use
*sortable and searchable with low effort
*keeping the ARTIST-tag trackspecific allows to find tracks in V.A.-albums as well when searching for a certain artist (DB-friendly)
*keeping the TITLE-tag title-specific allows sorting and searching of V.A.-albums by title (DB-friendly)
*allows meaningful determination and display of V.A.-Albums with a minimum amount of code
*avoids resource-hungry and unsafe "guessing" of V.A.-albums via the filepath
*easy to remember and type in manually
*does not disrupt existing systems when the ARTIST- and TITLE-tag are already track specific (easy transition)
*can coexist with additional directory-based sorting and marking
*can be used for split-EPs and split-singles as well
*supported by [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference#Field_remappings|Field Remappings]] in foobar2000 0.9

''Code snippets'':

// check if an album is V.A.
$if($meta_test(album artist),$puts(album_is_va,1))

// For sorting by artist in an album-context replace %artist% - %album% with:
%album artist% - %album%

// singlemode display without %album artist%-support
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%title%]

// singlemode display with %album artist%-support
// note: if your display supports both, albummode and singlemode, then you
// may want to use the above version instead in singlemode - depends on taste
[%album artist% - ][%album% - ][%track artist% - ][%title%]

// How to easily integrate %album artist% into an albummode-display:
// in the albummode-column, replace %artist% with:
[%album artist%]
// in the title-column, replace %title% with:
[%track artist% - ][%title%]

=== FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED ===
''Basics'':
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the first time is "FIRST_PLAYED"
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the last time is "LAST_PLAYED"
* tags contain date and time in the following format at the beginning: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" (with 24hours-format)
* additional info may be appended after the above info

''Reasons for this standard'':
* the [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/musepack/klemm/www.personal.uni-jena.de/~pfk/mpp/sv8/time.html APE-dateformat] (derived from ISO) is internationally neutral
* sortable
* easily readable and recognizable
* format can be verified with TAGZ
* can be included in formatting-strings without reformatting it (pro for amateur tagz-coders)
* choosing a new fieldname avoids confusion with the existing ambigious play_date tag
* field name is easy to understand/recognize/remember and short enough to type in manually

''Code snippets'':

// verify tag-format (we check the pos. of the first dash and ":")
// using $len for verification is strongly unrecommended!
$if(
$and($strcmp($strstr(%last_played%,-),5),$strcmp($strstr(%last_played%,:),14))
,$puts(last_played_is_valid,1)
)

// disassemble the timestamp for later reformatting or calcuations
$puts(last_played_year,$substr(%last_played%,1,4))
$puts(last_played_month,$substr(%last_played%,6,7))
$puts(last_played_day,$substr(%last_played%,9,10))
$puts(last_played_hour,$substr(%last_played%,12,13))
$puts(last_played_min,$substr(%last_played%,15,16))
$puts(last_played_sec,$substr(%last_played%,18,19))

// display only the date of last_played (without reformatting)
$left(%last_played%,10)

// display only the time of last_played (without reformatting)
// the use of $right is strongly unrecommended!
$substr(%last_played%,12,19)

The above code-snippets can be used for FIRST_PLAYED as well (just replace last_played with first_played).

== Obsolete and Deprecated Tag Standards ==

=== PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME ===

Deprecated tags produced by old versions of foo_playcount. Default format DDMMYY for PLAY_DATE and HHMMSS (24hr) for PLAY_TIME. See [[Foobar2000:Encouraged Tag Standards#FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED|FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED]].

= Introduction =
'''Vorbis''' (commonly used inside the [[Ogg]] container) is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-free (subject to [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13531 speculation]), and royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8 khz–48.0 kHz, 16+ bit, [[multichannel]]) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to >256 kbps/channel. This places vorbis in the same competitive class as audio representations such as MPEG-4 ([[AAC]]), and similar to, but higher performance than [[MP3]], TwinVQ ([[VQF]]), [[WMA]] and [[PAC]]. Vorbis is the first of a planned family of Ogg multimedia coding formats being developed as part of Xiph.org's ogg multimedia project.

Informal listening test suggests Vorbis to be comparable to MPEG-4 [[AAC]] at most bitrates and [[Musepack]] at 128 kbps. Transparency is generally reached at about 150–170 kbps (-q 5) (with some exceptions). The encoder is reasonably young and unoptimized, so further improvements can always be expected.

Unfortunately, Xiph.org has failed to improve Vorbis at a steady rate since its initial 1.0 release in July 2002 (due to other developement projects and time constraints). Since then development has been led by other coders such as [http://sjeng.org/vorbisgt3.html Garf] and [http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ Aoyumi]. Aoyumi's '''[[aoTuV]]''' series of encoders was incorporated into the September 2004 release of 1.1, which brought about the first quality improvements across the board for 2 years. Aoyumi's Beta 4.51 was found to be very good, so it was re-branded into aoTuV Release 1 and it was the recommended encoder until June 2007. The latest tuning is aoTuV beta 5, which improves further on the low-bitrate quality without sacrificing compression, and <span style="color:blue;">it is currently the recommended Vorbis encoder at Hydrogenaudio.</span>

At the time being, Aoyumi's tuning (since aoTuV Release 1 up to aoTuV Beta 5) has not been incorporated yet into the 'official' Vorbis line.

Vorbis has had success with many recent video game titles employing Vorbis as opposed to MP3 (with Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004, the PC port of Microsoft's Halo and Uru being notable examples). (Ogg) Vorbis is also an official part of the [http://www.openal.org/extensions.html OpenAL] API extension library, used in many popular [http://www.openal.org/titles.html computer games]. On April 10, 2006, [http://www.radgametools.com/ RAD Game Tools] integrated (Ogg) Vorbis support to their Miles Sound System (MSS), which has been used in over 3,200 games worldwide. This ensures that future games utilizing MSS will have the capability to play (Ogg) Vorbis files. Check out [http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/Games_that_use_Vorbis xiph wiki] for a full list of games confirmed to use (Ogg) Vorbis.

'''Before encoding files using (Ogg) Vorbis, check out the [[Recommended Ogg Vorbis|Recommended (Ogg) Vorbis]] article to determine what encoder to use and what settings are recommended by Hydrogenaudio.'''

== Pros ==
* (Ogg) Vorbis specification is in the public domain; it is free for commercial or noncommercial use, under both (LGPL and BSD licenes)
* Easy to use high-level API (Application Programming Interface)
* Good all-round performance (>48 kbps – a leading codec at [http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiformat128/results.html 128 kbps])
* Well written [http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/docs.html specs]
* Supported by most portable (Ogg) [[Vorbis#Supporting Digital Audio Players|DAPs]]
* Suitable for internet-streaming (via [http://www.icecast.org/ Icecast] and other methods)
* Fully [[gapless]] playback
* High potential for further tuning
* Structured to allow the design for a hybrid filterbank

== Cons ==
* Limited official development (third-party developement is always encouraged)
* Current implementations are more computationally intensive to decode than MP3

= Technical Information =
* Multiple block sizes for window switching including overlap (powers of two only) ''(128/1024, 256/2048, 512/4096)''
* Customly designed [[window function]] is applied similiar to the sine window. it has (good sidelobe rejection)
:<math>w_k = \sin{(\frac{\pi}{2} \cdot sin^2[(\pi\div2n \cdot (k+0.5))]}</math>
* Psychoacoustics masking is exploited via an ([[ATH]] model)
* Masking curves are computed from an ''emperically'' adjusted set of [http://www.zainea.com/masking2.htm Ehmer Curves]
* Modified Discrete Cosine Transform ([[MDCT]]) is used for noise analysis
* Fast Fourier Transform ([[FFT]]) is used for tonal analysis
* Global masking curve is a mixture between calculated FFT+MDCT curves and ATH curves overlayed
* Floor 1 or the noise-floor (envelope) is calculated using the global masking curve & piecewise linear approximation divided by spectrum to generate the residue (fine detail). The Levinson-Durbin [http://www.data-compression.com/speech.html#ana LPC model] in Floor 0 is no longer used, however the code still exists
* [[Noise normalization]] is applied to compensate for energy lost in certain frequency bands due to quantization (rounding).
* The channels are [[channel coupling|coupled]] ''strictly'' by residue using ([http://us.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/stereo.html point/phase stereo] and lossless)
* Multistage [[Vector quantization]] is used for coding the noise-floor and residue backend using ''trained'' codebooks.
* [[Huffman coding]] is used to minimize vector codeword redundancy

2008-12-01T01:19:01Z

Yirkha: 0.3.0

[[Category:foobar2000|Components 0.9]]
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-milkdrop2.jpg|right|Example of MilkDrop 2 running in Shpeck]]
= Shpeck (foo_vis_shpeck) =

== Description ==
Shpeck is a wrapper for Winamp's visualisation plugins, using either a stand-alone window, a Columns UI panel or Default UI element. Winamp itself does not need to be installed. Only one plugin can be active at once, though - that is a limitation of the original design.

Shpeck shouldn't be used with other Winamp emulators because of possible conflicts. The recommended solution is to keep Shpeck only - because it supports the biggest number of Winamp's features among these emulators, it shouldn't be a problem.

Winamp is a registered trademark of Nullsoft. Various third-party plugins are owned by their developers and their usage is restricted by their respective licenses.

== Links ==
See [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=59388 Shpeck's official thread] at Hydrogenaudio.org forums.

Information about the latest version and a download link are always available in the first post of that thread.

== Preferences ==
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-prefs.png|screenshot]]

=== Winamp directory ===
Specifies the base directory of Winamp installation, i.e. the folder with "winamp.exe". Shpeck scans its "Plugins" subdirectory for plugin DLLs and this path is also passed to loaded plugins (they use it to store their configuration in "%WINAMP_DIR%\Winamp.ini" file, for example).
Default value is "C:\Program Files\Winamp".

Note that Winamp itself doesn't need to be installed - you can choose any directory as long as there is a "winamp.exe" file in it (even empty) and a "Plugins" folder with installed plugins in it.

To avoid the standard Windows "Browse For Folder..." dialog and enter the path directly (e.g. to enter sofisticated network path), click on the [...] button with SHIFT key pressed.

=== Available plugins ===
This area contains a list of visualisation plugins detected in the folder chosen above. Each DLL can contain several different visualisation modules, hence the names are in form "Plugin name / Module name".
Buttons on the right allow to configure or start currently selected module, stop the running one (if any) and refresh the list.

If some installed plugins don't appear in the list, it might be because of their unresolved dependencies. For example, "MilkDrop 2" or "NSFS" plugins need file NSCRT.DLL from Winamp installation to run. Both the folder with plugin itself and directory with "foobar2000.exe" is searched, so copying the library to either place should help.

=== Options ===
==== Title bar for embedded windows ====
Plugins running in an emulation of Winamp 5+ "embedded window" can show a title bar displaying current plugin name and a few controls, e.g. to change presets. If the title bar is enabled, it is possible to change background color, title text color, title font and button images.

The buttons image must be a BMP file with width divisible by 5 (for five buttons - previous preset, next preset, random preset mode, fullscreen toggle and context menu) and height divisible by 3 (for three states - normal, hover and pushed). 32-bit format with alpha/opacity is supported.
The height of resulting title bar is the height of buttons or selected font, whichever is bigger.

Defaults are colors and font from Windows desktop settings and internal semi-transparent buttons.

Title bar settings for Columns UI panels and Default UI elements are configured in their Appearence dialog, accessible from their context menu (right-click on a title bar).

==== Other ====
By default, visualisation's thread priority is lowered below normal, as visualisations are considered to be just an additional eye candy. The option to disable this behavior might help in cases when some background process generates non-uniform peaks in CPU usage and visualisations stutter from time to time. (This applies to virtually single-processor systems only.)

=== Title formatting ===
This section specifies the title formatting to be used for reporting current track title and playlist entries. See "foobar2000 Main Menu > Help > Title Formatting Help" for more information about title formatting syntax.

The "Current track" format affects the title of fake Winamp window, which is visible from other applications, e.g. "now-playing plugins".

Foobar2000:Default User Interface:List of UI Elements

2008-09-12T14:30:18Z

Yirkha: /* Third-party UI Elements */

This page lists available UI Elements for use with foobar2000's [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9/Default_user_interface_%28foo_ui_std%29|Default User Interface]].

== Bundled UI Elements ==

=== Containers ===
* '''Splitter (left/right or top/bottom)'''
A simple container which divides its area to two panes horizontally or vertically. The child elements can be resized by dragging the border between them. Moreover, size of each side can be locked, so that it will stay the same when the whole window is resized - this feature is available in splitter's popup menu.
* '''Tabs'''
This container uses the well-established concept of a tabbed document. It can have any number of pages, each page containing another child element(s). The popup menu have commands to add, remove, rename and reorder the individual tabs.
* '''Playlist Tabs'''
A tabbed container automatically populated with tabs corresponding to available playlists. Note that the child area is the same regardless of the active tab (playlist). Commonly used to host a "Playlist view" element.
* '''Toolbar Header'''
Shows a toolbar which can be filled with various buttons and controls, configurable in its popup menu. Additional options include whether to be shown at the top or bottom of assigned area, or if the toolbar should be locked to avoid rearranging the items. It can contain only one static child element.

=== Selection Information ===
* '''Album Art Viewer'''
Shows album (cover) art image for the selected or currently playing track. Looks both for embedded images in the file itself and in its folder.
* '''Selection Properties'''
An element capable of displaying various information about the selected track(s). Popup menu allows customization of what kind of information to show.

=== Utility ===
* '''Console'''
UI element version of the Console window, as available in the "Main menu > View > Console".

Foobar2000:Components/Default user interface (foo ui std)

2008-06-17T18:59:04Z

Yirkha: Added link to List of UI Elements

[[Image:Default user interface.png|thumb]]

Default User Interface included with the standard installation package.

==Features==
* Allows complex layout using building blocks that are called UI Elements.
* Focus on instant usability and easy configuration; it deliberately does not offer total visual customization and reduces the use of title formatting.
* The [[Foobar2000:Default User Interface:Quick Appearance Setup|Quick Appearance Setup window]] lets users choose from a set of predefined layouts, color schemes, and playlist configurations.
* The [[Foobar2000:Layout Editing Mode|layout editing mode]] and scratchboxes allow in-place configuration of the layout with Copy & Paste functionality.
* The current configuration can be exported as a theme for archiving or transfer to another foobar2000 installation.

==Elements==
* UI Elements are conceptually similar to the panels introduced by Columns UI, but are incompatible with them so they were given a new name.
* [[Foobar2000:Default User Interface:List of UI Elements|List of UI Elements]] contains basic information about the available UI elements.

Foobar2000:Layout Editing Mode

2008-06-17T18:56:00Z

Yirkha: Created

The Layout Editing Mode of [[Foobar2000:Components_0.9/Default_user_interface_(foo_ui_std)|Default User Interface]] enables users to easily change the overall window layout, add or remove various UI elements and change their settings, all using simple and consistent WYSIWYG-based interface.

Layout Editing Mode can be activated either by choosing its option in "Main Menu > View > Layout", or by clicking the appropriate button on toolbar (if enabled).
Additionally, a "Scratchbox" window can be created using the "Main Menu > View > Layout > Create Scratchbox" command. In a Scratchbox, it is possible to try out different themes without changing the currently used layout, and apply the changes to the main window only when needed.

Easy way to get started might be choosing one of the predefined layouts using the [[Foobar2000:Default User Interface:Quick Appearance Setup|Quick Appearance Setup]], then change some of the elements afterwards.

== Basic operation ==
The whole layout consists of individual UI elements. They can be divided into two groups:
* functional elements - like a playlist viewer, album list or a visualisation
* container elements - splitters and tabs
The fundamental difference is that containers can contain additional child elements, including more containers, which makes them essential for creating a complex layout. Each simple left/right or top/bottom splitter divides its area to two parts; tabbed containers, for instance, can obviously have more pages with more children.

=== Control ===
When in Layout Editing Mode, clicking anywhere inside the window with right mouse button selects the UI element underneath mouse cursor and shows a popup menu with its options. To select a splitter, it's necessary to click on the border between its children.

The popup menu shows the active UI element's name (if there is one), a few common actions to replace, cut, copy and paste the element, and any other options the element itself might provide.

=== Adding UI elements ===
To add a new element, choose the "Add New UI Element" item from the popup menu, or simply by click in an unused area with left mouse button. New UI element can be added to an empty space only, replacing the old one is needed otherwise.

=== Replacing UI elements ===
Replacing an element with a different one is possible using the "Replace UI Element" option in the popup menu. Another way is to copy or cut another UI element to put it into clipboard, then select the element to replace and paste it over.

When an UI element is replaced with an empty container, it automatically embraces the old element (or its children when it's a container) - e.g. replacing a horizontal splitter with a vertical one doesn't clear its contents.

=== Removing UI elements ===
To remove an UI element, choose the "Cut UI Element" command in its popup menu (note that this will also put it into clipboard).

When removing an element in a container, the above action will leave the splitted area intact. To replace the whole container element with only one of its children, either select the parent and replace it with the wanted element, or use the copy/paste function.

== Available UI Elements ==
See the [[Foobar2000:Default_User_Interface:List_of_UI_Elements|List of UI Elements]] for information about the basic UI elements bundled with the official installer as well as any additional ones provided by others.

== Colors and Fonts ==
Some additional settings affecting appearance of all UI elements, like colors and fonts, are available in the "Preferences > Display > Default User Interface > Colors and Fonts".

== Theme Import/Export ==
The themes can be exported to a .fth file from the "Default User Interface" page in Preferences. It is possible to choose which parts of the theme (main layout, toolbar layout, colors, etc.), should actually be saved. Similarly, when importing, some parts can be prevented from overwritting the current values.

Themes can also be imported and exported in the Scratchbox.

User:Yirkha/drafts/Layout Editing Mode

2008-06-17T14:46:40Z

Yirkha: Initial draft

The Layout Editing Mode of Default User Interface enables users to easily change the overall window layout, add or remove various UI elements and change their settings, all using simple and consistent WYSIWYG-based interface.

Layout Editing Mode can be activated either by choosing its option in "Main Menu > View > Layout", or by clicking the appropriate button on toolbar (if enabled).
Additionally, a "Scratchbox" window can be created using the "Main Menu > View > Layout > Create Scratchbox" command. In a Scratchbox, it is possible to try out different themes without changing the currently used layout, and apply the changes to the main window only when needed.

Easy way to get started might be choosing one of the predefined layouts using the [[Foobar2000:Default User Interface:Quick Appearance Setup|Quick Appearance Setup]], then change some of the elements afterwards.

== Basic operation ==
The whole layout consists of individual UI elements. They can be divided into two groups:
* functional elements - like a playlist viewer, album list or a visualisation
* container elements - splitters and tabs
The fundamental difference is that containers can contain additional child elements, including more containers, which makes them essential for creating a complex layout. Each simple left/right or top/bottom splitter divides its area to two parts; tabbed containers, for instance, can obviously have more pages with more children.

=== Control ===
When in Layout Editing Mode, clicking anywhere inside the window with right mouse button selects the UI element underneath mouse cursor and shows a popup menu with its options. To select a splitter, it's necessary to click on the border between its children.

The popup menu shows the active UI element's name (if there is one), a few common actions to replace, cut, copy and paste the element, and any other options the element itself might provide.

=== Adding UI elements ===
To add a new element, choose the "Add New UI Element" item from the popup menu, or simply by click in an unused area with left mouse button. New UI element can be added to an empty space only, replacing the old one is needed otherwise.

=== Replacing UI elements ===
Replacing an element with a different one is possible using the "Replace UI Element" option in the popup menu. Another way is to copy or cut another UI element to put it into clipboard, then select the element to replace and paste it over.

When an UI element is replaced with an empty container, it automatically embraces the old element (or its children when it's a container) - e.g. replacing a horizontal splitter with a vertical one doesn't clear its contents.

=== Removing UI elements ===
To remove an UI element, choose the "Cut UI Element" command in its popup menu (note that this will also put it into clipboard).

When removing an element in a container, the above action will leave the splitted area intact. To replace the whole container element with only one of its children, either select the parent and replace it with the wanted element, or use the copy/paste function.

== Bundled UI Elements ==
=== Containers ===
* '''Splitter (left/right or top/bottom)'''
A simple container which divides its area to two panes horizontally or vertically. The child elements can be resized by dragging the border between them. Moreover, size of each side can be locked, so that it will stay the same when the whole window is resized - this feature is available in splitter's popup menu.
* '''Tabs'''
This container uses the well-established concept of a tabbed document. It can have any number of pages, each page containing another child element(s). The popup menu have commands to add, remove, rename and reorder the individual tabs.
* '''Playlist Tabs'''
A tabbed container automatically populated with tabs corresponding to available playlists. Note that the child area is the same regardless of the active tab (playlist). Commonly used to host a "Playlist view" element.
* '''Toolbar Header'''
Shows a toolbar which can be filled with various buttons and controls, configurable in its popup menu. Additional options include whether to be shown at the top or bottom of assigned area, or if the toolbar should be locked to avoid rearranging the items. It can contain only one static child element.

=== Media Library Viewers ===
* '''Album List''' ''(available if selected during installation)''
UI element version of the Album List viewer, as available in the "Main menu > Library > Album List".
* '''Media Library Search''' ''(available if selected during installation)''
UI element version of the Media Library search, as available in the "Main menu > Library > Search".

=== Playback Visualisation ===
* '''Oscilloscope'''
* '''Peak Meter'''
* '''Spectrogram'''
* '''Spectrum'''
* '''VU Meter'''
Various visualisations providing some graphical feedback. Most of them have their additional style, color or quality settings available in their popup menu.

=== Playlist Renderers ===
* '''Playlist View'''
Shows items of currently active playlist. Note that any number of "Playlist View" elements will all show the same content. Format of displayed columns and item grouping can be customized.

=== Selection Information ===
* '''Album Art Viewer'''
Shows album (cover) art image for the selected or currently playing track. Looks both for embedded images in the file itself and in its folder.
* '''Selection Properties'''
An element capable of displaying various information about the selected track(s). Popup menu allows customization of what kind of information to show.

=== Utility ===
* '''Console'''
UI element version of the Console window, as available in the "Main menu > View > Console".
* '''Equalizer'''
UI element version of the Equalizer window, as available in the "Main menu > View > Equalizer".
* '''Playlist Manager'''
UI element version of the Playlist Manager window, as available in the "Main menu > View > Playlist Manager".

== Colors and Fonts ==
Some additional settings affecting appearance of all UI elements, like colors and fonts, are available in the "Preferences > Display > Default User Interface > Colors and Fonts".

== Theme Import/Export ==
The themes can be exported to a .fth file from the "Default User Interface" page in Preferences. It is possible to choose which parts of the theme (main layout, toolbar layout, colors, etc.), should actually be saved. Similarly, when importing, some parts can be prevented from overwritting the current values.

Themes can also be imported and exported in the Scratchbox.

Foobar2000:Components/Shpeck (foo vis shpeck)

2008-05-31T13:32:40Z

Yirkha: /* Available plugins */ NSCRT

[[Category:foobar2000|Components 0.9]]
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-milkdrop2.jpg|right|Example of MilkDrop 2 running in Shpeck]]
= Shpeck (foo_vis_shpeck) =

== Description ==
Shpeck is a wrapper for Winamp's visualisation plugins, using either a stand-alone window or a Columns UI (or Panels UI) panel. Winamp itself does not need to be installed. Only one plugin can be active at once, it's a limitation of original design.

Shpeck shouldn't be used with other Winamp emulators because of possible conflicts. The recommended solution is to keep Shpeck only - because it supports the biggest number of Winamp's features among these emulators, it shouldn't be a problem.

Winamp is a registered trademark of Nullsoft. Various third-party plugins are owned by their developers and their usage is restricted by their respective licenses.

== Links ==
See [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=59388 Shpeck's official thread] at Hydrogenaudio.org forums.

Information about the latest version and a download link are always available in the first post of this thread.

== Preferences ==
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-prefs.png|screenshot]]

=== Winamp directory ===
Specifies the base directory of Winamp installation, i.e. the folder with "winamp.exe". Shpeck scans its "Plugins" subdirectory for plugin DLLs and this path is also passed to loaded plugins (they use it to store their configuration in "%WINAMP_DIR%\Winamp.ini" file, for example).
Default value is "C:\Program Files\Winamp".

Note that Winamp itself doesn't need to be installed - you can choose any directory as long as there is a "Plugins" folder with installed plugins in it.

To avoid the standard Windows "Browse For Folder..." dialog and enter the path directly (e.g. to enter sofisticated network path), click on the [...] button with SHIFT key pressed.

=== Available plugins ===
This area contains a list of visualisation plugins detected in the folder chosen above. Each DLL can contain several different visualisation modules, hence the names are in form "Plugin name / Module name".
Buttons on the right allow to configure or start currently selected module, stop the running one (if any) and refresh the list.

If some installed plugins don't appear in the list, it might be because of their unresolved dependencies. For example, "MilkDrop 2" or "NSFS" plugins need file NSCRT.DLL from Winamp installation to run (copy it for instance to folder with "foobar2000.exe" to rectify).

=== Options ===
==== Title bar for embedded windows ====
Plugins running in an emulation of Winamp 5+ "embedded window" can show a title bar displaying current plugin name and a few controls, e.g. to change presets. If the title bar is enabled, it is possible to change background color, title text color, title font and button images.

The buttons' image must be a BMP file with width divisible by 5 (for five buttons - previous preset, next preset, random preset mode, fullscreen toggle and context menu) and height divisible by 3 (for three states - normal, hover and pushed). 32bit format with alpha/opacity is supported.
The height of resulting title bar is the height of buttons or selected font, whichever is bigger.

Defaults are colors and font from Windows desktop settings and internal semi-transparent buttons.

==== Other ====
By default, visualisation's thread priority is lowered below normal, as visualisations are considered to be just an additional eye candy. The option to disable this behavior might help in cases when some background process generates non-uniform peaks in CPU usage and visualisations stutter from time to time. (This applies to virtually single-processor systems only.)

=== Title formatting ===
This sections specifies the title formatting to be used for reporting current track title and playlist entries. See "foobar2000 Main Menu/Help/Title Formatting Help" for more information about title formatting syntax.

The "Current track" format affects the title of fake Winamp window, which is visible from other applications.

Foobar2000:Components/Shpeck (foo vis shpeck)

[[Category:foobar2000|Components 0.9]]
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-milkdrop2.jpg|right|Example of MilkDrop 2 running in Shpeck]]
= Shpeck (foo_vis_shpeck) =

== Description ==
Shpeck is a wrapper for Winamp's visualisation plugins, using either a stand-alone window or a Columns UI (or Panels UI) panel. Winamp itself does not need to be installed. Only one plugin can be active at once, it's a limitation of original design.

Shpeck shouldn't be used with other Winamp emulators because of possible conflicts. The recommended solution is to keep Shpeck only - because it supports the biggest number of Winamp's features among these emulators, it shouldn't be a problem.

Winamp is a registered trademark of Nullsoft. Various third-party plugins are owned by their developers and their usage is restricted by their respective licenses.

== Links ==
See [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=59388 Shpeck's official thread] at Hydrogenaudio.org forums.

Information about the latest version and a download link are always available in the first post of this thread.

== Preferences ==
[[Image:Foo_vis_shpeck-prefs.png|screenshot]]

=== Winamp directory ===
Specifies the base directory of Winamp installation, i.e. the folder with "winamp.exe". Shpeck scans its "Plugins" subdirectory for plugin DLLs and this path is also passed to loaded plugins (they use it to store their configuration in "%WINAMP_DIR%\Winamp.ini" file, for example).
Default value is "C:\Program Files\Winamp".

Note that Winamp itself doesn't need to be installed - you can choose any directory as long as there is a "Plugins" folder with installed plugins in it.

To avoid the standard Windows "Browse For Folder..." dialog and enter the path directly (e.g. to enter sofisticated network path), click on the [...] button with SHIFT key pressed.

=== Available plugins ===
This area contains a list of visualisation plugins detected in the folder chosen above. Each DLL can contain several different visualisation modules, hence the names are in form "Plugin name / Module name".
Buttons on the right allow to configure or start currently selected module, stop the running one (if any) and refresh the list.

If some installed plugins don't appear in the list, it might be because of their unresolved dependencies. For example, "MilkDrop 2" or "NSFS" plugins need file NSCRT.DLL from Winamp installation to run.

=== Options ===
==== Title bar for embedded windows ====
Plugins running in an emulation of Winamp 5+ "embedded window" can show a title bar displaying current plugin name and a few controls, e.g. to change presets. If the title bar is enabled, it is possible to change background color, title text color, title font and button images.

The buttons' image must be a BMP file with width divisible by 5 (for five buttons - previous preset, next preset, random preset mode, fullscreen toggle and context menu) and height divisible by 3 (for three states - normal, hover and pushed). 32bit format with alpha/opacity is supported.
The height of resulting title bar is the height of buttons or selected font, whichever is bigger.

Defaults are colors and font from Windows desktop settings and internal semi-transparent buttons.

==== Other ====
By default, visualisation's thread priority is lowered below normal, as visualisations are considered to be just an additional eye candy. The option to disable this behavior might help in cases when some background process generates non-uniform peaks in CPU usage and visualisations stutter from time to time. (This applies to virtually single-processor systems only.)

=== Title formatting ===
This sections specifies the title formatting to be used for reporting current track title and playlist entries. See "foobar2000 Main Menu/Help/Title Formatting Help" for more information about title formatting syntax.

The "Current track" format affects the title of fake Winamp window, which is visible from other applications.

== Description ==
Shpeck is a wrapper for Winamp's visualisation plugins, using either a stand-alone window or a Columns UI (or Panels UI) panel. Winamp itself does not need to be installed. Only one plugin can be active at once, it's a limitation of original design.

Shpeck shouldn't be used with other Winamp emulators because of possible conflicts. The recommended solution is to keep Shpeck only - because it supports the biggest number of Winamp's features among these emulators, it shouldn't be a problem.

== Links ==
See [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=59388 Shpeck's official thread] at Hydrogenaudio.org forums.

Information about the latest version and a download link are always available in the first post of this thread.

=== Winamp directory ===
Specifies the base directory of Winamp installation, i.e. the folder with "winamp.exe". Shpeck scans its "Plugins" subdirectory for plugin DLLs and this path is also passed to loaded plugins (they use it to store their configuration in "%WINAMP_DIR%\Winamp.ini" file, for example).
Default value is "C:\Program Files\Winamp".

Note that Winamp itself doesn't need to be installed - you can choose any directory as long as there is a "Plugins" folder with installed plugins in it.

To avoid the standard Windows "Browse For Folder..." dialog and enter the path directly (e.g. to enter sofisticated network path), click on the [...] button with SHIFT key pressed.

=== Available plugins ===
This area contains a list of visualisation plugins detected in the folder chosen above. Each DLL can contain several different visualisation modules, hence the names are in form "Plugin name / Module name".
Buttons on the right allow to configure or start currently selected module, stop the running one (if any) and refresh the list.

If some installed plugins don't appear in the list, it might be because of their unresolved dependencies. For example, "MilkDrop 2" or "NSFS" plugins need file NSCRT.DLL from Winamp installation to run.

=== Options ===
==== Title bar for embedded windows ====
Plugins running in an emulation of Winamp 5+ "embedded window" can show a title bar displaying current plugin name and a few controls, e.g. to change presets. If the title bar is enabled, it is possible to change background color, title text color, title font and button images.

The buttons' image must be a BMP file with width divisible by 5 (for five buttons - previous preset, next preset, random preset mode, fullscreen toggle and context menu) and height divisible by 3 (for three states - normal, hover and pushed). 32bit format with alpha/opacity is supported.
The height of resulting title bar is the height of buttons or selected font, whichever is bigger.

Defaults are colors and font from Windows desktop settings and internal semi-transparent buttons.

==== Other ====
By default, visualisation's thread priority is lowered below normal, as visualisations are considered to be just an additional eye candy. The option to disable this behavior might help in cases when some background process generates non-uniform peaks in CPU usage and visualisations stutter from time to time. (This applies to virtually single-processor systems only.)

=== Title formatting ===
This sections specifies the title formatting to be used for reporting current track title and playlist entries. See "foobar2000 Main Menu/Help/Title Formatting Help" for more information about title formatting syntax.

The "Current track" format affects the title of fake Winamp window, which is visible from other applications.
