==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
A version of Album Art Panel that supports album art embedded in ID3v2 and FLAC tags is available at this [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=54138 forum thread].<br />
<br />
=Requirements=<br />
*[http://www.foobar2000.org/ foobar2000 0.9.4]<br />
*[http://music.morbo.org/components.php Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1v5]<br />
*[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6A63AB9C-DF12-4D41-933C-BE590FEAA05A&displaylang=en GDI+] (Only necessary for Windows 2000)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Installation=<br />
#Extract the downloaded archive and place foo_uie_albumart.dll in your foobar2000 "components" folder (normally located at %ProgramFiles%\foobar2000\components\).<br />
#Start foobar2000.<br />
#Open up '''Preferences''', navigate to '''Display''' -> '''Columns UI''', and select the '''Layout''' tab.<br />
#Right-click on a splitter and select '''Insert Panel''' -> '''Panels''' -> '''Album Art'''<br />
#Click '''Apply''' to make the panel appear.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefs.PNG|thumb|Accessing Preferences]]<br />
=Preferences=<br />
Album Art Panel Preferences can be accessed either by pressing the '''Configure''' button on the Columns UI '''Layout''' tab, or by right-clicking the panel itself and selecting '''Preferences...''' (see screenshot). The available settings are split up into three tabs.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section relates to version 0.2.4.1. Some settings maybe have been added/removed in later versions.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Display Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsdisplay.PNG|thumb|Display Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the image is drawn on the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Center album cover art in panel<br />
: The image is drawn centered in panel. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Expand album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is smaller than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Shrink album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is larger than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Maintain aspect ratio<br />
: When resizing, the ratio between the height and width of the image is maintained, preventing distortion. If this option is unchecked, the image will be resized to fit the entire panel area. This option is only applicable if either "Expand album cover art to fit panel" or "Shrink album cover art to fit panel" is checked. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Resizing quality<br />
: Select from ''Low'', ''Medium'', ''High'', ''Highest''. Choosing a higher quality will result in a nicer display when resizing, but will use more CPU. (default: ''Highest'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Minimum panel height<br />
: Selects a minimum height for the panel in pixels. When the foobar2000 window is resized, or when other panels are added to the Columns UI layout, Album Art Panel will never be resized smaller than the minimum panel height. If this is set to ''0'', no minimum panel height will be enforced. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Padding<br />
: Pads around image. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Edge style<br />
: Select from ''None'', ''Sunken'', ''Grey''. (default: ''Grey'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Background<br />
: Color to draw on empty portions of the panel. (default: ''White'')<br />
<br />
;Draw pixel border<br />
: Draws a thin border around the image using the selected color. (default: ''disabled'', ''Black'')<br />
<br />
<br />
==Behaviour Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsbehaviour.PNG|thumb|Behaviour Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the panel cycles through images and how the user can interact with the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Album cover art follows cursor even when playing<br />
: The panel will always display album art associated with the currently selected track. If this option is unchecked, the panel will display album art associated with the currently playing track, if a track is playing. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
;Enable fading transition<br />
: The panel will fade when changing images for the amount of time specified. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Transition time (ms)<br />
: Controls the length of the fade transition between images. (default: ''300ms'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle sources during playback<br />
: While a track is playing, the panel will cycle to the next image in the sources list every ''Cycle time'' seconds. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle time (s)<br />
: Controls how often the panel cycles images during playback. (default: ''10s'')<br />
<br />
;Skip no-cover images while cycling<br />
: If the panel is automatically cycling during playback, no-cover sources (prefixed with "--") will be skipped. Note that this does not affect user-initiated cycling (i.e., clicking ''Next Source'' from the context menu). (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle all wildcard matches<br />
: The panel will cycle through all images that match a particular wildcard pattern. If this option is unchecked, only the first image match will be shown. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Enabling this option could lead to slowdowns while Album Art Panel is processing all files that match a particular wildcard pattern. In order to prevent such slowdowns, make sure that any sources with wildcards are as specific as possible. For instance, ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg'' is better than ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*''.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Order<br />
: Select from ''Alphabetical'' or ''Random''. Controls the order in which the panel cycles through wildcard matches. (default: ''Alphabetical'')<br />
<br />
;On track change, revert to first source<br />
: Select from ''Never'', ''Always'', or ''Only if display would change''. (default: ''Only if display would change'')<br />
<br />
<br />
===Mouse Functions===<br />
Album Art Panel offers various actions which can be attached to mouse buttons so that, when the panel is left-clicked, middle-clicked, or double-clicked, the selected action will be performed. These actions are also available by right-clicking the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Disabled<br />
: Selected mouse button does nothing.<br />
<br />
;Open in external viewer<br />
: Opens the displayed image file in the default image viewer/editor associated with that image type<br />
<br />
;Open directory<br />
: Opens the directory that contains the track whose album art is being displayed.<br />
<br />
;Toggle follow cursor<br />
: Selects or deselects the option ''Album cover art follows cursor even when playing''<br />
<br />
;Focus playing<br />
: Focuses the currently playing track in the playlist.<br />
<br />
;Refresh<br />
: Reloads the currently displayed image from disk and searches for new matches.<br />
<br />
;Next source<br />
: Cycles forward to the next image match.<br />
<br />
;Previous source<br />
: Cycles backward to the previous image match.<br />
<br />
;First source<br />
: Resets display to the first source in the sources list.<br />
<br />
==Sources Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefssources.PNG|thumb|Sources Tab]]<br />
The Sources tab allows the user to define where Album Art Panel should look to find images. There are also options to import and export sources and to debug the sources list.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section describes how to modify the sources list. See the section [[Foobar2000:0.9 Album Art Panel (foo uie albumart)#Sources List|Sources List]] for information on how the Album Art Panel interprets sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Add<br />
: Adds a new source to the end of the list<br />
<br />
;Remove<br />
: Removes the selected source from the list<br />
<br />
;Move Up<br />
: Moves the selected source up in the list<br />
<br />
;Move Down<br />
: Moves the selected source down in the list<br />
<br />
;Reset<br />
: Resets to the default sources list<br />
<br />
<br />
;Import/Export Sources List<br />
: Allows the user to save a custom sources list or restore a saved sources list. An imported sources list will replace any existing sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Output preformatted sources to console<br />
: Outputs the source that is being searched to the console, after titleformatting has been applied. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Help button<br />
: Opens this page in the default web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
The prefix "--" (two hypens) is used to indicate a "No Cover" image. A "No Cover" image is essentially a default image which will be shown if no other matches can be found. When automatic cycling is enabled, "No Cover" images will be skipped.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

'''Note:''' This section relates to version 0.2.4.1. Some settings maybe have been added/removed in later versions.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Display Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsdisplay.PNG|thumb|Display Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the image is drawn on the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Center album cover art in panel<br />
: The image is drawn centered in panel. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Expand album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is smaller than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Shrink album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is larger than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Maintain aspect ratio<br />
: When resizing, the ratio between the height and width of the image is maintained, preventing distortion. If this option is unchecked, the image will be resized to fit the entire panel area. This option is only applicable if either "Expand album cover art to fit panel" or "Shrink album cover art to fit panel" is checked. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Resizing quality<br />
: Select from ''Low'', ''Medium'', ''High'', ''Highest''. Choosing a higher quality will result in a nicer display when resizing, but will use more CPU. (default: ''Highest'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Minimum panel height<br />
: Selects a minimum height for the panel in pixels. When the foobar2000 window is resized, or when other panels are added to the Columns UI layout, Album Art Panel will never be resized smaller than the minimum panel height. If this is set to ''0'', no minimum panel height will be enforced. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Padding<br />
: Pads around image. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Edge style<br />
: Select from ''None'', ''Sunken'', ''Grey''. (default: ''Grey'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Background<br />
: Color to draw on empty portions of the panel. (default: ''White'')<br />
<br />
;Draw pixel border<br />
: Draws a thin border around the image using the selected color. (default: ''disabled'', ''Black'')<br />
<br />
<br />
==Behaviour Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsbehaviour.PNG|thumb|Behaviour Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the panel cycles through images and how the user can interact with the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Album cover art follows cursor even when playing<br />
: The panel will always display album art associated with the currently selected track. If this option is unchecked, the panel will display album art associated with the currently playing track, if a track is playing. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
;Enable fading transition<br />
: The panel will fade when changing images for the amount of time specified. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Transition time (ms)<br />
: Controls the length of the fade transition between images. (default: ''300ms'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle sources during playback<br />
: While a track is playing, the panel will cycle to the next image in the sources list every ''Cycle time'' seconds. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle time (s)<br />
: Controls how often the panel cycles images during playback. (default: ''10s'')<br />
<br />
;Skip no-cover images while cycling<br />
: If the panel is automatically cycling during playback, no-cover sources (prefixed with "--") will be skipped. Note that this does not affect user-initiated cycling (i.e., clicking ''Next Source'' from the context menu). (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle all wildcard matches<br />
: The panel will cycle through all images that match a particular wildcard pattern. If this option is unchecked, only the first image match will be shown. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Enabling this option could lead to slowdowns while Album Art Panel is processing all files that match a particular wildcard pattern. In order to prevent such slowdowns, make sure that any sources with wildcards are as specific as possible. For instance, ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg'' is better than ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*''.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Order<br />
: Select from ''Alphabetical'' or ''Random''. Controls the order in which the panel cycles through wildcard matches. (default: ''Alphabetical'')<br />
<br />
;On track change, revert to first source<br />
: Select from ''Never'', ''Always'', or ''Only if display would change''. (default: ''Only if display would change'')<br />
<br />
<br />
===Mouse Functions===<br />
Album Art Panel offers various actions which can be attached to mouse buttons so that, when the panel is left-clicked, middle-clicked, or double-clicked, the selected action will be performed. These actions are also available by right-clicking the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Disabled<br />
: Selected mouse button does nothing.<br />
<br />
;Open in external viewer<br />
: Opens the displayed image file in the default image viewer/editor associated with that image type<br />
<br />
;Open directory<br />
: Opens the directory that contains the track whose album art is being displayed.<br />
<br />
;Toggle follow cursor<br />
: Selects or deselects the option ''Album cover art follows cursor even when playing''<br />
<br />
;Focus playing<br />
: Focuses the currently playing track in the playlist.<br />
<br />
;Refresh<br />
: Reloads the currently displayed image from disk and searches for new matches.<br />
<br />
;Next source<br />
: Cycles forward to the next image match.<br />
<br />
;Previous source<br />
: Cycles backward to the previous image match.<br />
<br />
;First source<br />
: Resets display to the first source in the sources list.<br />
<br />
==Sources Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefssources.PNG|thumb|Sources Tab]]<br />
The Sources tab allows the user to define where Album Art Panel should look to find images. There are also options to import and export sources and to debug the sources list.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section describes how to modify the sources list. See the section [[Foobar2000:0.9 Album Art Panel (foo uie albumart)#Sources List|Sources List]] for information on how the Album Art Panel interprets sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Add<br />
: Adds a new source to the end of the list<br />
<br />
;Remove<br />
: Removes the selected source from the list<br />
<br />
;Move Up<br />
: Moves the selected source up in the list<br />
<br />
;Move Down<br />
: Moves the selected source down in the list<br />
<br />
;Reset<br />
: Resets to the default sources list<br />
<br />
<br />
;Import/Export Sources List<br />
: Allows the user to save a custom sources list or restore a saved sources list. An imported sources list will replace any existing sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Output preformatted sources to console<br />
: Outputs the source that is being searched to the console, after titleformatting has been applied. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Help button<br />
: Opens this page in the default web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
The prefix "--" (two hypens) is used to indicate a "No Cover" image. A "No Cover" image is essentially a default image which will be shown if no other matches can be found. When automatic cycling is enabled, "No Cover" images will be skipped.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

: Controls how often the panel cycles images during playback. (default: ''10s'')<br />
<br />
;Skip no-cover images while cycling<br />
: If the panel is automatically cycling during playback, no-cover sources (prefixed with "--") will be skipped. Note that this does not affect user-initiated cycling (i.e., clicking ''Next Source'' from the context menu). (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle all wildcard matches<br />
: The panel will cycle through all images that match a particular wildcard pattern. If this option is unchecked, only the first image match will be shown. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Enabling this option could lead to slowdowns while Album Art Panel is processing all files that match a particular wildcard pattern. In order to prevent such slowdowns, make sure that any sources with wildcards are as specific as possible. For instance, ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg'' is better than ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*''.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Order<br />
: Select from ''Alphabetical'' or ''Random''. Controls the order in which the panel cycles through wildcard matches. (default: ''Alphabetical'')<br />
<br />
;On track change, revert to first source<br />
: Select from ''Never'', ''Always'', or ''Only if display would change''. (default: ''Only if display would change'')<br />
<br />
<br />
===Mouse Functions===<br />
Album Art Panel offers various actions which can be attached to mouse buttons so that, when the panel is left-clicked, middle-clicked, or double-clicked, the selected action will be performed.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Disabled<br />
: Selected mouse button does nothing.<br />
<br />
;Open in external viewer<br />
: Opens the displayed image file in the default image viewer/editor associated with that image type<br />
<br />
;Open directory<br />
: Opens the directory that contains the track whose album art is being displayed.<br />
<br />
;Toggle follow cursor<br />
: Selects or deselects the option ''Album cover art follows cursor even when playing''<br />
<br />
;Focus playing<br />
: Focuses the currently playing track in the playlist.<br />
<br />
;Refresh<br />
: Reloads the currently displayed image from disk and searches for new matches.<br />
<br />
;Next source<br />
: Cycles forward to the next image match.<br />
<br />
;Previous source<br />
: Cycles backward to the previous image match.<br />
<br />
;First source<br />
: Resets display to the first source in the sources list.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Sources Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefssources.PNG|thumb|Sources Tab]]<br />
The Sources tab allows the user to define where Album Art Panel should look to find images. There are also options to import and export sources and to debug the sources list.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section describes how to modify the sources list. See the section [[Foobar2000:0.9 Album Art Panel (foo uie albumart)#Sources List|Sources List]] for information on how the Album Art Panel interprets sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Add<br />
: Adds a new source to the end of the list<br />
<br />
;Remove<br />
: Removes the selected source from the list<br />
<br />
;Move Up<br />
: Moves the selected source up in the list<br />
<br />
;Move Down<br />
: Moves the selected source down in the list<br />
<br />
;Reset<br />
: Resets to the default sources list<br />
<br />
<br />
;Import/Export Sources List<br />
: Allows the user to save a custom sources list or restore a saved sources list. An imported sources list will replace any existing sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Output preformatted sources to console<br />
: Outputs the source that is being searched to the console, after titleformatting has been applied. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Help button<br />
: Opens this page in the default web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
The prefix "--" (two hypens) is used to indicate a "No Cover" image. A "No Cover" image is essentially a default image which will be shown if no other matches can be found. When automatic cycling is enabled, "No Cover" images will be skipped.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<div>[[Image:Albumartpanel.PNG|thumb|Album Art Panel Preferences 0.2.4.1]]<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel is a component for foobar2000 and Columns UI that displays album art in a panel. When configured, it can display any image you would like to associate with a track.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Features=<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />
*Allows title-formatting and wildcards to specify image file location<br />
*Minimum height setting to assist with layouts<br />

<br />
<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3).<br />
<br />
<br />
=Requirements=<br />
*[http://www.foobar2000.org/ foobar2000 0.9.4]<br />
*[http://music.morbo.org/components.php Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1v5]<br />
*[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6A63AB9C-DF12-4D41-933C-BE590FEAA05A&displaylang=en GDI+] (Only necessary for Windows 2000)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Installation=<br />
#Extract the downloaded archive and place foo_uie_albumart.dll in your foobar2000 "components" folder (normally located at %ProgramFiles%\foobar2000\components\).<br />
#Start foobar2000.<br />
#Open up '''Preferences''', navigate to '''Display''' -> '''Columns UI''', and select the '''Layout''' tab.<br />
#Right-click on a splitter and select '''Insert Panel''' -> '''Panels''' -> '''Album Art'''<br />
#Click '''Apply''' to make the panel appear.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefs.PNG|thumb|Accessing Preferences]]<br />
=Preferences=<br />
Album Art Panel Preferences can be accessed either by pressing the '''Configure''' button on the Columns UI '''Layout''' tab, or by right-clicking the panel itself and selecting '''Preferences...''' (see screenshot). The available settings are split up into three tabs.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Display Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsdisplay.PNG|thumb|Display Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the image is drawn on the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Center album cover art in panel<br />
: The image is drawn centered in panel. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Expand album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is smaller than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Shrink album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is larger than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Maintain aspect ratio<br />
: When resizing, the ratio between the height and width of the image is maintained, preventing distortion. If this option is unchecked, the image will be resized to fit the entire panel area. This option is only applicable if either "Expand album cover art to fit panel" or "Shrink album cover art to fit panel" is checked. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Resizing quality<br />
: Select from ''Low'', ''Medium'', ''High'', ''Highest''. Choosing a higher quality will result in a nicer display when resizing, but will use more CPU. (default: ''Highest'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Minimum panel height<br />
: Selects a minimum height for the panel in pixels. When the foobar2000 window is resized, or when other panels are added to the Columns UI layout, Album Art Panel will never be resized smaller than the minimum panel height. If this is set to ''0'', no minimum panel height will be enforced. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Padding<br />
: Pads around image. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Edge style<br />
: Select from ''None'', ''Sunken'', ''Grey''. (default: ''Grey'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Background<br />
: Color to draw on empty portions of the panel. (default: ''White'')<br />
<br />
;Draw pixel border<br />
: Draws a thin border around the image using the selected color. (default: ''disabled'', ''Black'')<br />
<br />
<br />
==Behaviour Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsbehaviour.PNG|thumb|Behaviour Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the panel cycles through images and how the user can interact with the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Album cover art follows cursor even when playing<br />
: The panel will always display album art associated with the currently selected track. If this option is unchecked, the panel will display album art associated with the currently playing track, if a track is playing. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
;Enable fading transition<br />
: The panel will fade when changing images for the amount of time specified. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Transition time (ms)<br />
: Controls the length of the fade transition between images. (default: ''300ms'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle sources during playback<br />
: While a track is playing, the panel will cycle to the next image in the sources list every ''Cycle time'' seconds. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle time (s)<br />
: Controls how often the panel cycles images during playback. (default: ''10s'')<br />
<br />
;Skip no-cover images while cycling<br />

: Allows the user to save a custom sources list or restore a saved sources list. An imported sources list will replace any existing sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Output preformatted sources to console<br />
: Outputs the source that is being searched to the console, after titleformatting has been applied. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Help button<br />
: Opens this page in the default web browser.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
The prefix "--" (two hypens) is used to indicate a "No Cover" image. A "No Cover" image is essentially a default image which will be shown if no other matches can be found. When automatic cycling is enabled, "No Cover" images will be skipped.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Image:Albumartpanel.PNG|thumb|Album Art Panel Preferences 0.2.4.1]]<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel is a component for foobar2000 and Columns UI that displays album art in a panel. When configured, it can display any image you would like to associate with a track.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Features=<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />
*Allows title-formatting and wildcards to specify image file location<br />
*Minimum height setting to assist with layouts<br />
*Configurable resizing of album art to fit panel size<br />
*Fading transitions between album art<br />
*Configurable actions when panel is left-clicked, double-clicked, and middle-clicked.<br />
*Can display album art for either the currently playing track or the currently selected track<br />
*Can automatically cycle through source list during playback<br />
<br />
<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3).<br />
<br />
<br />
=Requirements=<br />
*[http://www.foobar2000.org/ foobar2000 0.9.4]<br />
*[http://music.morbo.org/components.php Columns UI 0.1.3 beta 1v5]<br />
*[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6A63AB9C-DF12-4D41-933C-BE590FEAA05A&displaylang=en GDI+] (Only necessary for Windows 2000)<br />
<br />
<br />
=Installation=<br />
#Extract the downloaded archive and place foo_uie_albumart.dll in your foobar2000 "components" folder (normally located at %ProgramFiles%\foobar2000\components\).<br />
#Start foobar2000.<br />
#Open up '''Preferences''', navigate to '''Display''' -> '''Columns UI''', and select the '''Layout''' tab.<br />
#Right-click on a splitter and select '''Insert Panel''' -> '''Panels''' -> '''Album Art'''<br />
#Click '''Apply''' to make the panel appear.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefs.PNG|thumb|Accessing Preferences]]<br />
=Preferences=<br />
Album Art Panel Preferences can be accessed either by pressing the '''Configure''' button on the Columns UI '''Layout''' tab, or by right-clicking the panel itself and selecting '''Preferences...''' (see screenshot). The available settings are split up into three tabs.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Display Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsdisplay.PNG|thumb|Display Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the image is drawn on the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Center album cover art in panel<br />
: The image is drawn centered in panel. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Expand album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is smaller than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Shrink album cover art to fit panel<br />
: If the image is larger than the panel, the image is resized to fit the panel area. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Maintain aspect ratio<br />
: When resizing, the ratio between the height and width of the image is maintained, preventing distortion. If this option is unchecked, the image will be resized to fit the entire panel area. This option is only applicable if either "Expand album cover art to fit panel" or "Shrink album cover art to fit panel" is checked. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Resizing quality<br />
: Select from ''Low'', ''Medium'', ''High'', ''Highest''. Choosing a higher quality will result in a nicer display when resizing, but will use more CPU. (default: ''Highest'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Minimum panel height<br />
: Selects a minimum height for the panel in pixels. When the foobar2000 window is resized, or when other panels are added to the Columns UI layout, Album Art Panel will never be resized smaller than the minimum panel height. If this is set to ''0'', no minimum panel height will be enforced. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Padding<br />
: Pads around image. (default: ''0'')<br />
<br />
;Edge style<br />
: Select from ''None'', ''Sunken'', ''Grey''. (default: ''Grey'')<br />
<br />
<br />
;Background<br />
: Color to draw on empty portions of the panel. (default: ''White'')<br />
<br />
;Draw pixel border<br />
: Draws a thin border around the image using the selected color. (default: ''disabled'', ''Black'')<br />
<br />
<br />
==Behaviour Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefsbehaviour.PNG|thumb|Behaviour Tab]]<br />
The options on this tab relate to how the panel cycles through images and how the user can interact with the panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Album cover art follows cursor even when playing<br />
: The panel will always display album art associated with the currently selected track. If this option is unchecked, the panel will display album art associated with the currently playing track, if a track is playing. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
;Enable fading transition<br />
: The panel will fade when changing images for the amount of time specified. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Transition time (ms)<br />
: Controls the length of the fade transition between images. (default: ''300ms'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle sources during playback<br />
: While a track is playing, the panel will cycle to the next image in the sources list every ''Cycle time'' seconds. (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle time (s)<br />
: Controls how often the panel cycles images during playback. (default: ''10s'')<br />
<br />
;Skip no-cover images while cycling<br />
: If the panel is automatically cycling during playback, no-cover sources (prefixed with "--") will be skipped. Note that this does not affect user-initiated cycling (i.e., clicking ''Next Source'' from the context menu). (default: ''enabled'')<br />
<br />
;Cycle all wildcard matches<br />
: The panel will cycle through all images that match a particular wildcard pattern. If this option is unchecked, only the first image match will be shown. (default: ''disabled'')<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Enabling this option could lead to slowdowns while Album Art Panel is processing all files that match a particular wildcard pattern. In order to prevent such slowdowns, make sure that any sources with wildcards are as specific as possible. For instance, ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg'' is better than ''$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*''.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Order<br />
: Select from ''Alphabetical'' or ''Random''. Controls the order in which the panel cycles through wildcard matches. (default: ''Alphabetical'')<br />
<br />
;On track change, revert to first source<br />
: Select from ''Never'', ''Always'', or ''Only if display would change''. (default: ''Only if display would change'')<br />
<br />
<br />
===Mouse Functions===<br />
Album Art Panel offers various actions which can be attached to mouse buttons so that, when the panel is left-clicked, middle-clicked, or double-clicked, the selected action will be performed.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Disabled<br />
: Selected mouse button does nothing.<br />
<br />
;Open in external viewer<br />
: Opens the displayed image file in the default image viewer/editor associated with that image type<br />
<br />
;Open directory<br />
: Opens the directory that contains the track whose album art is being displayed.<br />
<br />
;Toggle follow cursor<br />
: Selects or deselects the option ''Album cover art follows cursor even when playing''<br />
<br />
;Focus playing<br />
: Focuses the currently playing track in the playlist.<br />
<br />
;Refresh<br />
: Reloads the currently displayed image from disk and searches for new matches.<br />
<br />
;Next source<br />
: Cycles forward to the next image match.<br />
<br />
;Previous source<br />
: Cycles backward to the previous image match.<br />
<br />
;First source<br />
: Resets display to the first source in the sources list.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Sources Tab==<br />
[[Image:Albumartprefssources.PNG|thumb|Sources Tab]]<br />
The Sources tab allows the user to define where Album Art Panel should look to find images. There are also options to import and export sources and to debug the sources list.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' This section describes how to modify the sources list. See the section [[Foobar2000:0.9 Album Art Panel (foo uie albumart)#Sources List|Sources List]] for information on how the Album Art Panel interprets sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Add<br />
: Adds a new source to the end of the list<br />
<br />
;Remove<br />
: Removes the selected source from the list<br />
<br />
;Move Up<br />
: Moves the selected source up in the list<br />
<br />
;Move Down<br />
: Moves the selected source down in the list<br />
<br />
;Reset<br />
: Resets to the default sources list<br />
<br />
<br />
;Import/Export Sources List<br />
: Allows the user to save a custom sources list or restore a saved sources list. An imported sources list will replace any existing sources.<br />
<br />
<br />
;Output preformatted sources to console<br />
: Outputs the source that is being searched to the console, after titleformatting has been applied. (default: ''disabled'')<br />

The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
--components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
The prefix "--" (two hypens) is used to indicate a "No Cover" image. A "No Cover" image is essentially a default image which will be shown if no other matches can be found. When automatic cycling is enabled, "No Cover" images will be skipped.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
''(Note: The "match:" prefix is obsolete. Since version 0.160, the "match:" prefix is ignored, and "-match:" is treated like "-". The wildcards '*' and '?' can be used in any source string.)''<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<br />
=Description=<br />
Album Art Panel is a component for foobar2000 and Columns UI that displays album art in a panel. When configured, it can display any image you would like to associate with a track.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />
*Allows title-formatting and wildcards to specify image file location<br />
*Minimum height setting to assist with layouts<br />
*Configurable resizing of album art to fit panel size<br />
*Fading transitions between album art<br />
*Configurable actions when panel is left-clicked, double-clicked, and middle-clicked.<br />
*Can display album art for either the currently playing track or the currently selected track<br />
*Can automatically cycle through source list during playback<br />
<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />

=Description=<br />
Album Art Panel is a component for foobar2000 and Columns UI that displays album art in a panel. When configured, it can display any image you would like to associate with a track.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />
*Allows TAGZ and wildcards to specify image file location<br />
*Minimum height setting to assist with layouts<br />
*Configurable resizing of album art to fit panel size<br />
*Sliding and fading transitions between album art<br />
*Configurable actions when panel is left-clicked, double-clicked, and middle-clicked.<br />
*Can display album art for either the currently playing track or the currently selected track<br />
<br />
<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3).<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
The wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern. Characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
''(Note: The "match:" prefix is obsolete. Since version 0.160, the "match:" prefix is ignored, and "-match:" is treated like "-". The wildcards '*' and '?' can be used in any source string.)''<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle forward through the source groups. Similarily, the "Previous Source" action will cycle backwards through the source groups.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<br />

<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|titleformatting scripts]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
match:C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
If a line begins with "match:" or "-match:", the wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters and '?' can be used in place of any single character. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern.<br />
<br />
Starting with version 0.160, the "match:" prefix is optional and ignored, and "-match:" is treated like "-". The wildcards '*' and '?' can be used in any source string; characters in tags that are not allowed in filenames will be replaced by an underscore '_' or - in version 0.164 and newer - with the '?' wildcard.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle through the source list as follows: If a wildcard is used, "Next Source" will cycle through all images which match the pattern. Otherwise, "Next Source" will cycle through the source groups.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. In this example, it will look in the same directory as the track for a file called "folder.jpg". The script takes the full path of the track, replaces the filename with a blank, and appends "folder.jpg" to the end (e.g, "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\01 Rusty Cage.mp3" becomes "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\folder.jpg").<br />
<br />
If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<div>== Disclaimer ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Discussion and comments ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Codesnippets and foobar2000 versions ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== General Tag Construction ==<br />
<br />
* Use an easily understood English field name.<br />
* Prefix album-related information with "ALBUM ", ie. "ALBUM ARTIST", "ALBUM SUBTITLE".<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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.<br />

<br />
=== ALBUM ARTIST ===<br />
''Basics'':<br />
*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)<br />
*tag should only exist if an album contains various artists. It should NOT be created when an album does not contain various artists.<br />
*the tag can contain the overall artist of an album(like i.e. "the foo-bar collective"), multiple artists(i.e. 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).<br />
*every track in a V.A.-album has to contain this tag with the same value<br />
*the track-specific artist should be entered into the ARTIST-tag<br />
*the TITLE-tag should only contain the track-title<br />
<br />
''Reasons for this standard'':<br />
*it solves all issues regarding albums which contain multiple artists with just one tag<br />
*it is already in widespread use<br />
*sortable and searchable with low effort<br />
*keeping the ARTIST-tag trackspecific allows to find tracks in V.A.-albums as well when searching for a certain artist (DB-friendly)<br />
*keeping the TITLE-tag title-specific allows sorting and searching of V.A.-albums by title (DB-friendly)<br />
*allows meaningful determination and display of V.A.-Albums with a minimum amount of code<br />
*avoids resource-hungry and unsafe "guessing" of V.A.-albums via the filepath<br />
*easy to remember and type in manually<br />
*does not disrupt existing systems when the ARTIST- and TITLE-tag are already track specific (easy transition)<br />
*can coexist with additional directory-based sorting and marking<br />
*can be used for split-EPs and split-singles as well<br />
*supported by [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference#Field_remappings|Field Remappings]] in foobar2000 0.9<br />

<br />
=== FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED ===<br />
''Basics'':<br />
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the first time is "FIRST_PLAYED"<br />
* the tag-fieldname used for storing info when a song was played the last time is "LAST_PLAYED"<br />
* tags contain date and time in the following format at the beginning: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" (with 24hours-format)<br />
* additional info may be appended after the above info<br />
<br />
''Reasons for this standard'':<br />
* 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<br />
* sortable<br />
* easily readable and recognizable<br />
* format can be verified with TAGZ<br />
* can be included in formatting-strings without reformatting it (pro for amateur tagz-coders)<br />
* choosing a new fieldname avoids confusion with the existing ambigious play_date tag<br />
* field name is easy to understand/recognize/remember and short enough to type in manually<br />
<br />
''Code snippets'':<br />
<br />
// verify tag-format (we check the pos. of the first dash and ":")<br />
// using $len for verification is strongly unrecommended!<br />

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

== Obsolete and Deprecated Tag Standards ==<br />
<br />
=== PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME ===<br />
<br />
Deprecated tags produced by old versions of foo_playcount. Default format DDMMYY for PLAY_DATE and HHMMSS (24hr) for PLAY_TIME.

== Obsolete and Deprecated Tag Standards ==<br />
<br />
=== PLAY_DATE and PLAY_TIME ===<br />
<br />
Deprecated tags produced by old versions of foo_playcount. Default format DDMMYY for PLAY_DATE and HHMMSS (24hr) for PLAY_TIME. See [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_Standards#FIRST_PLAYED_and_LAST_PLAYED FIRST_PLAYED and LAST_PLAYED].</div>Gfngfgfhttps://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Encouraged_Tag_StandardsFoobar2000:Encouraged Tag Standards2006-04-15T18:58:55Z<p>Gfngfgf: /* ALBUM ARTIST */</p>
<hr />
<div>== Disclaimer ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Discussion and comments ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Codesnippets and foobar2000 versions ==<br />
The codesnippets are meant for use in Foobar2000 v0.8. Because of the new field-remappings introduced in v0.9, they do not work with current beta-versions of foobar2000. Once v0.9final gets released this page will be updated with compliant v0.9 code.<br />
<br />
== General Tag Construction ==<br />
<br />
* Use an easily understood English field name.<br />
* Prefix album-related information with "ALBUM ", ie. "ALBUM ARTIST", "ALBUM SUBTITLE".<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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.<br />
<br />
== Overview of Current Recommendations ==<br />
<br />
FIELD NAME [format] (component)<br />
<br />
* 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)]<br />
* 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)]<br />
<br />
=== ALBUM ARTIST ===<br />
''Basics'':<br />
*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)<br />
*tag should only exist if an album contains various artists. It should NOT be created when an album does not contain various artists.<br />
*the tag can contain the overall artist of an album(like i.e. "the foo-bar collective"), multiple artists(i.e. 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).<br />
*every track in a V.A.-album has to contain this tag with the same value<br />
*the track-specific artist should be entered into the ARTIST-tag<br />
*the TITLE-tag should only contain the track-title<br />
<br />
''Reasons for this standard'':<br />
*it solves all issues regarding albums which contain multiple artists with just one tag<br />
*it is already in widespread use<br />
*sortable and searchable with low effort<br />
*keeping the ARTIST-tag trackspecific allows to find tracks in V.A.-albums as well when searching for a certain artist (DB-friendly)<br />
*keeping the TITLE-tag title-specific allows sorting and searching of V.A.-albums by title (DB-friendly)<br />
*allows meaningful determination and display of V.A.-Albums with a minimum amount of code<br />
*avoids resource-hungry and unsafe "guessing" of V.A.-albums via the filepath<br />
*easy to remember and type in manually<br />
*does not disrupt existing systems when the ARTIST- and TITLE-tag are already track specific (easy transition)<br />
*can coexist with additional directory-based sorting and marking<br />
*can be used for split-EPs and split-singles as well<br />
*supported by [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference#Field_remappings|Field Remappings]] in foobar2000 0.9<br />
<br />
''Code snippets'':<br />
<br />
// check if an album is V.A.<br />
$if($meta_test(album artist),$puts(album_is_va,1))<br />
<br />
// For sorting by artist in an album-context replace %artist% - %album% with:<br />

<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3).<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|TAGZ]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
match:C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
If a line begins with "match:" or "-match:", the wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle through the source list as follows: If a wildcard is used, "Next Source" will cycle through all images which match the pattern. Otherwise, "Next Source" will cycle through the source groups.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. In this example, it will look in the same directory as the track for a file called "folder.jpg". The TAGZ code takes the full path of the track, replaces the filename with a blank, and appends "folder.jpg" to the end (e.g, "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\01 Rusty Cage.mp3" becomes "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\folder.jpg").<br />
<br />
If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<br />
==Features==<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />

==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3). This is a limitation of foobar2000, and has nothing to do with Album Art Panel.<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|TAGZ]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
match:C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
If a line begins with "match:" or "-match:", the wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle through the source list as follows: If a wildcard is used, "Next Source" will cycle through all images which match the pattern. Otherwise, "Next Source" will cycle through the source groups.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. In this example, it will look in the same directory as the track for a file called "folder.jpg". The TAGZ code takes the full path of the track, replaces the filename with a blank, and appends "folder.jpg" to the end (e.g, "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\01 Rusty Cage.mp3" becomes "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\folder.jpg").<br />
<br />
If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />

<div>=Description=<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel is a component for foobar2000 0.8.3 and Columns UI 0.1.2 that displays album art in a panel.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
*Configurable sources list allows cycling of multiple images for a single track<br />
*Allows TAGZ and wildcards to specify image file location<br />
*Minimum height setting so album art panel can be placed in the toolbar (above the playlist)<br />
*Configurable resizing of album art to fit panel size<br />
*Sliding and fading transitions between album art<br />
*Configurable actions when panel is left-clicked, double-clicked, and middle-clicked.<br />
*Can display album art for either the currently playing track or the currently selected track<br />
<br />
<br />
==Reading Embedded Album Art==<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel does not support reading album art which has been embedded as a tag (for example, as an ID3v2 tag in an MP3). This is a limitation of foobar2000, and has nothing to do with Album Art Panel.<br />
<br />
=Sources List=<br />
The sources list allows you to use [[Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference|TAGZ]] to specify exactly where Album Art Panel will look for image files. In order to learn how to use the sources list, let's look at an example:<br />
<br />
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg<br />
-match:$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
match:C:\Music\Arts\%artist% %album%*<br />
-components\default.png<br />
<br />
The sources list is organized into groups, based on which lines have a '-' in front of them. Each line that does not start with a '-' is the beginning of a new source group. A line which starts with '-' is part of the same source group as the line above it. In the example above, there are two source groups. The first source group consists of the first three lines and the second group consists of the last two lines.<br />
<br />
If a line begins with "match:" or "-match:", the wildcard '*' can be used in place of one or any number of characters. For instance, the second line of the example above tells Album Art Panel to look for any file it can display in the same directory as the track. Album Art Panel will display the first image which matches the pattern.<br />
<br />
The "Next Source" action (by default, left-clicking on the panel) will cycle through the source list as follows: If a wildcard is used, "Next Source" will cycle through all images which match the pattern. Otherwise, "Next Source" will cycle through the source groups.<br />
<br />
Album Art Panel will first look for an image at the location indicated in the first line of a source group. In this example, it will look in the same directory as the track for a file called "folder.jpg". The TAGZ code takes the full path of the track, replaces the filename with a blank, and appends "folder.jpg" to the end (e.g, "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\01 Rusty Cage.mp3" becomes "C:\Music\Soundgarden\Badmotorfinger\folder.jpg").<br />
<br />
If the image indicated by the first line cannot be found, Album Art Panel will look at subsequent lines within the same source group and display the first image which can be found. If no image within a source group can be found, Album Art Panel will try to display the next source group instead. If none of the source groups can be found, the display will be blank.<br />
