Foobar 2000 setup - What does it look like

More playing…

Wait what happened to it

Also I should upload that file

Going to try Foobar again, the last time I installed it, I just sat there looking at the screen not knowing which way was up… the initial effort just kept me paralyzed, eventually I uninstalled it.

Question for the braintrust though… is there an .ini file you can just use from someone else that would have a preconfigured player so I can avoid the painful part? I’m not unwilling to put in the work but just figured I’d ask to see if there’s a shortcut.

gaze at the levels on a 50in LED just like when i was a kid looking through the glass stereo in a box cabinet door watching the EQ dance its glorious neon blue.

Would be great if they brought back the music video to go with the track like album art. Also, waveformseekbar is like a slot machine when adding a new song. Damn you zeos it cant be unseen.

I was actually looking for this recently but didn’t manage to find much. Would like to know too.

There isn’t per se but it’s actually not hard to configure once you know where you’re going. A ten minute tutorial video is all you need. No matter what you get as a p reconfigured setup, you’re going to want to change things on it anyway so you need to learn it.

There are a lot of ways to look at whatever you want to look at… two hours worth of playing with things easy.

BTW, the thing I love most about it is how you can actually “see” the music in the spectrogram. Just like The Matrix.

Welcome to HiFi Guides!
Looks good! The colors you chose for your theme look awesome.

My foobar is still broken (setup incorrectly) but I have managed to get the UI to what I kinda like

Really happy with my current Foobar2k setup. The only annoying thing is when there’s a missing album art cover.

Switch to CMUS and you won’t have that problem. :wink: :joy:

Here’s my setup: main window is shown up top, then some of the tabbed options. I’ve been evolving this setup for years. Have added new items as new plugins with new functionality (like recent youtube video window) have been made available.

Using CaTRoX’s theme currently, I like minimalism and dark mode.
