Was a bit suprised I had not seen you around "this" thread before tool++ but nice to see you drop by. Wont miss your creations for sure if there is more cross posting. Kind of like the turnout for the area04 VS. Looking forward to the release of it if possible later (my coding skills are still flawed but working on them ;) ).

Could you please share your Columns UI layout?

I dont take credit for any of this code.. i got it off of someone here or on the foobar forums.. can't remember. I just edited the images.

unzip the attatchment to foobar/images/

the code for my single column ui is:

Row Height 21, Group rows 2

Group by: %album%

ITem Display

$if($or(%_isplaying%,%_selected%),
$imageabs(2,0,images\gradient_green.png,)
,
$ifequal($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0,
			$drawrect(13,0,0,0,brushcolor-233-233-238 pencolor-233-233-238)
		,
			$drawrect(13,0,0,0,brushcolor-255-255-255 pencolor-240-240-240)
		)
)

$padding(5,0)
$alignabs(20,0,%_width%,21,left,top)

// TRACKNUMBER
$if($or(%_isplaying%,%_selected%),$font(calibri,9,bold,255-255-255),$font(calibri,9,bold,180-180-180))
[%tracknumber%. ]
// TITLE
$if($or(%_isplaying%,%_selected%),$font(calibri,9,bold,255-255-255),$font(calibri,9,bold,120-120-120))
$ifgreater($calcwidth(%title%),250,
$cut([%title%],60)'...'
,
[%title%]
)
// LENGTH
$align(right,top)$if($or(%_isplaying%,%_selected%),$font(calibri,9,bold,255-255-255),$font(calibri,9,bold,120-120-120))
[%length%]

Group Display 

$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-20-20-20 pencolor-null)
$imageabs(0,0,images\gradient_black.png,)
$padding(5,5)

//ARTIST
$align(left,center)$font(calibri,12,bold ,245-245-245)$upper([%artist%])$char(10)
//ALBUM
$font(Calibri,9,bold,200-200-200)[%album%]

$padding(0,3)

// DATE
$align(right,center)$font(Calibri,9,,200-200-200)[%date%]$char(10)
//GENRE
[%genre%]

Can someone help me? I'm having a problem with foo_uie_single_column_playlist. I'm using

Group By:

%album%

Imagine if the album contains not just one artist but various... It creates multiple entries for the same album, one entry for each artist that's in the album (see imagine in attach). In the imagine you can see two entries for the album Excursions and two entries for the album No Album, each one of those albums as various artists in them.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance :).

that would be because the songs in that album don't all have matching %album% tags, you should tag your music properly if you plan to get any functionality out of foobar :)

@ moglenstar, thanks for the help anyway.

My tags are all correct, I'm sure of that... both ID3v2.3 and ID3v1.1. This is only happening with the albums that have various artists in them :no:. The other albums with only one artist appear all correct.

Am I missing some sort of component?

This only works with the single columns playlist & if your album covers are called folder.jpg & are in the directory with your music.

$imageabs2(80,80,,,,,3,2,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)folder.jpg,)

This works for the header group only. The image will be 80 pixels x 80 pixels & placed 3 pixels from the side edge & 2 from the top.

Hope that helps.

Cheers :)

This is not true for me, I can't resize my images with that. anything below 84,84 doesn't show and if I change it to 90,90 then the images are just pushed in/down 6 px.

try setting %album artist% as "various artists" and %artist% as each artist, and %album% as the album

also i don't know if it's just me but i see little point in using both ID3v1 and v2 tags, foobar only needs one of them.

you might find that some of your tags are missing ID3v2, and so have no %album% tag filled in, or something

I'm using both of the tags because nero burning rom 6 doesn't read ID3v2.3 tags. Alright, I'm going to try what you said... :yes:.

@moglenstar, I found the problem :). In Media Library>Album List>Views I changed the string in front of the genre (%<genre>%|[%album artist% - ]%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%) to (%<genre>%|%album%).

Anyway, thanks :).

Updates for me..

fb1tc6.th.pngfb2lj0.th.pngfb3cy7.th.png

Will be released in due time.. (hopefully soon :p)

Awesome. I had 4 months of break with foobar, so that makes even bigger impression on me, cause last tim eI played with foobar it wasn't possible to get something like that. But no matter what that's just beautiful. If you're not releasing it anytime soon, can I become a beta tester? ;)

Im having a problem with my single columns setup. In my group display, i have an image that is suppose to be set if there isnt album art, but its set to be shown no matter what. so i have a few album covers that arent exactly 500x500 and they don't stretch over the whole group album cover spot. is there code to make it stretch, or for the image that is suppose to show up when there isnt art, to show up just when there isnt folder.jpg in the artist folder?

Download Images here and place the "1bit" folder inside your "images" folder, either in your foobar directory, or your foobar profile directory.

but its also mixed with moglenstar-my-foobar-setup

realy nice setup moglenstar :yes:
