Foobar can only read album art from folders. I recommend running WMP, import your library. It'll automatically save hidden folder.jpgs from your MP3s.

Nice way to clutter your library with 200x200 jpgs that are not only hidden, but also system files. The covers are also scaled disregarding the aspect ratio of the original cover.

Also foobar by itself can't read any album art at all. This is done by specific components, the album art element that is included in the default UI can display both embedded art and album art files.

However, what he is trying to do is display embedded art in the playlist (ELPlaylist in his case). The latest release of ELPlaylist adds this functionality.

umm..does anyone have any idea on where to get the latest following components:

-Panels UI

-CwB Hooks

-Power Panels

this is for the LATEST foobar version I'm talking about (0.9.6.x), I keep getting this crappy error message everytime I open foobar up.

^none of those are being developed any longer.

Wrong. The Default UI reads and displays cover art, quite well.

Including embedded.

use foobar version 0.9.5.2 if you plan on using a panels ui-based skins.

so i downloaded this config

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/5614/fooyi7.jpg

and now i want a button on the lower left that removes the left panel. So if i click it the panel is gone, and when i click the album list button album list shows. Is there an easy way to do this? i'n not really an expert in this.

I mean, i already got album list. I want to toggle the left side on/off. So i need a button that hides/shows album list, lyrics, album art. so everything on or off. and it also needs to let the el playlist start immediatly on the elft, so that there isn't the open space where album list should have been.

:p

Hello, i have some problems.

post-281576-1234471456_thumb.jpg

1) How to remove Album name and seperator on every album start? I once managed it to remove, but now i cant find anymore

2) I want to have background as this - post-45-1086772132.png

One row is in one color and the next one in other. I found that I have to add a line to Global options in Columns UI settings, but nothing happens when I add it...

Thanks.

I have been trying to use Foobar for a while but I always give up. My main issue is Tags. I use iTunes and all my mp3s are tagged through that. Whenever I have tried Foobar it reads the tags incorrectly. Is it possible to have Foobar read the tags just as iTunes does?

Hey guys, quick Artwork scripting question. I used to have this working a while ago but I can't remember how lol.

Example: Genre / Artist / Date / Album / Disc (If more than 1 CD) / *.mp3

I have the artwork included in the "Disc" folder, so basically I'm after a tag which lets the reader search one directory up. Hope that makes sense :s

Cheers!

$replace(%path%,%directoryname%'\'%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)

maybe my Kameleon skin ?

Loved it! I love how it comes all in one package! I hate having to download components from broken links and having to google hours searching for a correct version (Y)(Y)

How can I set a background image?

Other: Any other foobar config that comes in an all-include package sorta like kameleon?

Having some troubles with this kameleon, any ideas why it looks like this?

Aside from not having any album art because I don't have any :p

Edit:

Like under the playlist I can't see the name as it appers to be cut/moved

Edit: Also how can I get the spectrum to look like that thunderish image you have.

It's because you haven't installed the fonts.
