Foobar2000? I loving love foobar2000. This is the setup that I've been using and constantly tweaking for about 3 years. I think it's finally approaching near-perfection for what I want it to do.  Mainly DefaultUI, with facets on the left, wsh_panelmod things for the art and last.fm, and a single dockable panel for the lyrics. Highlights of this setup:
If you're interested in copying this: Custom components used to make this happen: http://i.imgur.com/X2ChS.png Install all of those, then download this: http://code.google.com/p/foobar-silk/downloads/detail?name=foo_silk%204.0.zip&can=2&q= and follow all the installation instructions to set it up his way. (this basically links it with your last.fm properly and ensures that the scripts actually load) Once you've done that, download this theme file, double click it, import everything, and it *should* work: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23243/foobar%20theme%20for%20SA.fth i hope i stripped all my personal info  Here's a few of the titleformatting script things I've written to enable this incase anyone finds them useful (some are included in the theme above, some aren't) File name pattern used: (elegantly supports Various Artists and multi-disc albums) quote:$cut(/%codec%/$if(%album artist%,%album artist%,%artist%) - ['['$cut(%date%,4)'] ']%album%/$ifequal(%totaldiscs%,1,,%discnumber%) %tracknumber% $if($strcmp(%artist%,%album artist%),,'['%artist%']' )%title%,235) FacetsUI sorting: quote:$if(%album artist%,%album artist%,%artist%) - ['['$cut(%date%,4)'] ']%album% » '['%codec% '/' $if(%actualbitrate%,%actualbitrate%,$if($strcmp(%codec%,AAC),%bitrate%,)$if($strcmp(%codec%,MP3),$if($strcmp(%codec_profile%,CBR),%codec_profile% %bitrate%,%codec_profile%),)$if($or($strcmp(%codec%,ALAC),$strcmp(%codec%,FLAC)),Lossless,))']') (the use of %actualbitrate% is for the rare occasion when you get an anomalous album that for some reason has the codec profiles and bitrates all hosed up, I manually add a tag to override it) Very ugly and non-elegantly coded (but still works) defaultUI grouping (I should really clean this up): quote:$if($and($not($stricmp($meta(album artist),)),$or($not($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist))),$stricmp($meta(album artist),various artists))),%album artist%,%artist%) - '['%date%']' %album% $if(%release type%,'['%release type%']' ,)» '['%codec% $if($stricmp(%codec_profile%,CBR),'/' CBR %bitrate%,$if($or($stricmp(%codec%,ALAC),$stricmp(%codec%,FLAC)),'/' Lossless,$if($stricmp(%codec%,AAC),$if($and($greater(%bitrate%,100),$greater(135,%bitrate%)),'/' 128, '/' %bitrate%),'/' %codec_profile%)))$if(%source%, '/' %source%,$if($stricmp(%obtained from%,iTunes Store), '/' iTunes,$if($stricmp(%obtained from%,what.cd), '/' what.cd,$if($stricmp(%obtained from%,ST Music), '/' ST Music,))))']' Foo_dop Artist, Title, and Album mappings (in that order): quote:$if($and($not($stricmp($meta(album artist),)),$or($not($stricmp($meta(album artist),$meta(artist))),$stricmp($meta(album artist),various artists))),%album artist%,%artist%) Also, thanks to Toast Museum for pointing out the Win 7 integration plugin, that's really good.

Arob1000 posted:I use foobar for my music, but once a year or so I install iTunes to take advantage of some misc thing it can do. If I let iTunes find my music, when I go back to foobar I discover that many of my tracks have some tags permanently truncated (and maybe some deleted for all I know) and I spend a bunch of time fixing them. Is that related, and is there a way to stop that from happening? What specifically are you trying to do with iTunes that foobar cannot do? The best way to prevent iTunes from editing (breaking) your id3 tags is probably to select your entire music library and set the files read only, and only unset this when you've finished using iTunes. If your "misc thing" in iTunes involves editing files, I'd suggest sharing it with us here so we can suggest a proper alternative using foobar2000 (or an external program if necessary). If not, setting the files read only should do the trick (but foobar2000 can probably do what you want anyway, it's great like that!)

I wiped my foobar config, and tried configuring it from scratch, and everything worked perfectly for me - and this is with no residual settings or components or anything, completely blank. I presume you're using the latest versions of all the components required as well as foobar2000? Also, (and I presume you did since you said everything was working fine, but just in case) did you use the foo_silk window's settings menu before importing my theme? Screenshot is below.  If you forgot that simply re-import the foo_silk.fth layout file and then revert back to mine. If none of these did the trick, could you fire up the console and find the error text there? To add the console, turn on layout editing mode, pick one of the tabs on the left hand side (or add a new one) and just ad the "Console" panel. Sorry that this isn't working too well, it's not something I've specifically gone out and made, it got organically cobbled together over a period of a few years, hence the less-than smooth finish. Edit: Ah, just read your edit, could you paste the exact output?

coeur de pirate posted:Also, is anyone else's lyric show panel coming up with "search failed" every single time? I updated to the newest .dll and it hasn't changed anything However: I updated to a new version of the component, (foo_lyricsshow2 or something, can't check exactly as I'm mobile) and that did seem to work alright, it was searching for some new lyrics. The only problem was it was behaving really irritatingly and basically just displaying the lyrics in a pop-up window instead of a panel (or a dockable panel like I currently use), so I got rid of it. Hopefully this gets resolved soon, I really do love having lyrics by my music

krnhotwings posted:I have a problem showing album art for albums with multiple discs... My directory structure looks like this: quote:e: Also, what character should we "officially" be using to indicate a delimiter, say, for tracks with multiple artists? foobar says it uses ' / ' as a delimiter in ID3v2.3 artist fields, but I just want to make sure that this is the way to go before I start editing a bunch of my tags.

The XKCD Larper posted:Yeah its not very good though. And you have to hunt down the codecs yourself.  Converts all my FLAC etc stuff to q 0.40 m4a, on the fly when syncing my iPod. Great! Simply tick the box and select a bitrate if you want to transcode higher-bitrate MP3s (although this is lossy-lossy transcoding, and A Bad Thing, it degrades the sound quality a bit. But you've been doing this in iTunes already so whatever). NeroAacEnc.exe is hosted by Nero, iirc, and I'm sure it's linked from the foo_dop documentation, but if you can't find it, post here, I'll upload mine.

^ This is correct, but alternatively if you have some weird component that you want to have a panel for, but never see, for some strange reason, you can always create tabs and stick it behind there. Or an empty divider or something.
