Lork posted:Edit: One annoying thing though is that it'll remove songs from the playlist as soon the "Last played" info is updated, even if they're currently being played, which makes it annoying to find them. Is there some kind of expression I can throw in there to make them at least stick around until they've finished playing? You could add %last_played% DURING LAST 10 MINUTES or something similar to the query.

Lork posted:But that'll introduce the possibility that any song will be played multiple times in a short period of time even if I've rated it low specifically because I don't want to hear it very often. I realize that I'm kind of splitting hairs at this point, but I do want to try to get the optimal setup if I can. I'm not sure it would actually do that if you're using Shuffle (as opposed to Random). I'm pretty sure Shuffle will try to play each song in the playlist once before repeating.

This is happening with both latest beta and stable. No plugins yet except that sweet waveform seekbar that I want to try out but can't because none of my music is showing up. Nevermind, I figured it out. It's definitely an adjustment coming from other players. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Dec 1, 2013 |

Beware using autoplaylists that have %last_played% in them if you have a large library. Maybe they've fixed it in recent versions of foobar, but a couple years ago I had a playlist similar to what you're describing and it would eat up 10-20% CPU even when foobar was idle, as it was constantly re-scanning my entire library.

You could also do something like %is_playing% OR (condition). That might work, even though it breaks if you're playing from another playlist.

Whoops, it appears to be only useable in columns (and it's %isplaying%, actually). Not sure if you can get it to work in searches...

So I've been using winamp for playback and foobar for other things, mostly just converting files to other formats. The one reason I use winamp over foobar for playback is how it handles shuffled playlists, and I'd like to figure out how to get foobar to behave the way I want. Let me try to explain: In winamp if I have a shuffled playlist (1 2 3 4 5 6, in shuffled order, let's say) and I want to switch the current song it'll stay at the same point in the playlist. So if 5 is playing and I decide I want to listen to 2 again, it'll play 2 then play 6. In foobar it'll play 2 then replay 3, 4, and 5. Similarly, if I choose to play 2 when 5 is playing and I hit back, it'll go to 4. In foobar it would go to 1. Is there any kind of setting or plugin to get foobar to handle shuffled lists the same way winamp does? I often go back and listen to a song because I wasn't paying attention without replaying the last hour of music. Having to micromanage it in foobar just isn't worth the effort. I looked for a solution a few years ago but just resigned myself to having two music players installed.

You can enqueue a song and it'll get added to a special playback queue before resuming with the "normal" order. Right click > Add to playback queue.

Yeah that doesn't change anything, it'll still jump forwards/backwards in the shuffled playlist to the position of the song I added to the playback queue, like foobar did before. I did some more searching and eventually turned up the idea of randomizing the playlist and using a "place after current" plugin. This seems to close enough to what I want that it's acceptable.

This seems to close enough to what I want that it's acceptable. In foobar's defense, winamp's shuffle system is pretty idiosyncratic. I don't think any other player does that behavior. The problem is that AFAIK the playback order code is one of the areas that's not really exposed to the plugin api, so there's no way to add a winamp-imitation shuffle.

The first means that there is a playlist that is filled with whatever you have selected in the Library Viewer. The second means that every time you select something different this playlist becomes active.

So I have a song that has an interlude that plays before it on the album, so it's actually two tracks. Is there a way I can make it always play the interlude first if the song comes up in the shuffle?

Is there a way I can make it always play the interlude first if the song comes up in the shuffle? You'd have to combine the two into a single track / file, which is a fairly simple procedure for most audio formats that doesn't require re-encoding or anything like that.

You can merge the two tracks into a single one through foobar2000. Select them both, right click --> convert --> ... --> Destination --> select 'Merge all tracks into one output file'

I have some albums that aren't being grouped properly. An example is the instrumental tracks disc from Dream Theater's "Black Clouds and Silver Linings" album. Here's a screenshot of the properties dialog: Here's the ColumnsUI grouping format: $swapprefix(%artist%) - %album% Where's the disconnect?
