Foobar is displaying all of my songs twice for some reason. They even have the same file path, but they're being displayed twice. Can someone help me with that. Would you need my FCS file?

Also, same problem with foobar reading from RARS. What component should I delete to change that?

@BaronLSN: i couldnt help you with your first problem because i dont have the expertise in foobar formatting but i'm guessing for your 2nd problem, you might wanna check if you have foo_unpack.dll in your foobar components folder :)

Do you have cue sheets with files in the same directories? If so, foobar will load both files and cue sheets. :)

Yes, foo_unpack.dll. :yes:

mine so far.

problem is most of my mp3's dont have tags (22K of them :no: ) so toast doesnt display how id like it to.

perhaps my task over the christmas will be to add tags to all of my songs :shiftyninja:

is there any way to completely get rid of the status bar?

Thanks TheUndead and miscellanea for helping with the RAR problem. However, I have view System Files and Hidden Files and Folders selected, but I am not seeing any 'cue sheets', whatever they may be. Any advice on how to remove them, or tell Foobar not to recognise them?

This is my foobar.

Does anyone know how to get the album list over the playlist? So that the album art is the only thing to the left...

varland, in order to achieve that please refer to my small guide below ;)

Step 1.. make sure you do this first

Step 2.. then, right click anywhere on your toolbar and click on that

Step 3.. and you will get this

Step 4.. if the album list doesnt appear to your liking, you will need to adjust it here

good luck and happy foobar-ing! :cool:

Since you have custom buttons I'm assuming you're using columns ui. Go to prefs --> columns ui --> statusbar/systray and uncheck "Show status bar."

Thanks alot. :)

Btw, what plug-in is that so you get the track info and so forth in one tab?

I'm having a problem here. Some of my albums/songs have only id3v1 tags, those ones don't work properly with the grouping. The albums/songs that have both look normal. This happens with every config file I try to use that has grouping. Anyone know how I can fix it without editing any tags?

Edit: I tried taking 3 copies of an album and making one have both sets of tags, the other with v1, and the last one with v2 only. They all displayed perfectly. Not sure why the other ones don't work, all I know is that they only have id3v1 tags.

I figured it out, it's the track numbers. When there isn't any it doesn't look right. Anyone know a way of making it work without putting track numbers into every mp3 that doesnt have them?

How can I get Album List Panel to sort by Artist only?

Edit: Nevermind, got it =)

From my experience, no. You have to go through and apply the TRACKNUMBER tag manually. :(

No, that config needs tracknumbers to work. It works by displaying the artist beside the first track of the album, the album name beside the second and so on. The only way Foobar knows its the first track of an album is if the tracknumber equals 1.
