i don't know if foobar is the best thing to be using on windows but i got way in to janitoring it and ended up writing a plugin to fix a bunch of minor things annoying me in the ui, so the gross time investment means i never want to try anything else

whats wrong with the ui

like i said it's minor things, but i didn't like

- how there's no way to tell at a glance which playlist tab is currently playing
- how you can have a special playlist that follows the library selection but if you start playing from it and then look around at other music it's just going to stop after the current track
- how in the nothing-playing state the play button will restart the last track you were playing instead of just starting the playlist you're currently looking at
- how there's no option to have playlists all play in sequence; the way i use foobar is maybe atypical but i don't have big permanent playlists, i open a bunch of playlists for individual albums and i want them to act like a queue and just play through in sequence

my plugin has more or less janky fixes for these things, like the first thing i "fixed" by just renaming the currently playing list to prepend a "▶​" character, idk it works for me but it's definitely just a hodgepodge of unrelated functionality so i've never bothered to try to share it anywhere except with some friends
