Hey thank you for this tutorial. I have a few questions: Got an old MacBook Pro with iTunes and a very messy music library there + an iPhone and iPad with a badass DJ software, which I intend to use for DJing only. I am also about to get an external SSD for my entire music collection - so that I can ‚work’ it using F2k (of course) from any device. How do I set F2K up in a way, where it syncs all the metadata & ‚smart’ playlists across all my devices, just like iTunes does/did ? Do I set it up on my MacBook first or iPad ? (does it matter ? Since my music collection will be portable) Second question is do the ‚smart’ playlists automatically update themselves when You add certain info in the comment of a track ? (So that You don’t have to manually drag & drop all the new tracks in Your collection) And finally; how do I customise the music player to show me more info than artist, song title and album ? How do I add, year of release & BPM and maybe some other chosen fields like genre, or Musical key from the comments section for example - is that possible ? Thank You in advance BIG TIME 😚🙌🙌🙌
Thx man. I tried Eole skin but It didn't read my multiple genre tag at all. so I stopped using skin themes. but I didn't know what to do with default UI.
how do you get it to show the current song playing in the windows. I set it on random and when I click next it does NOT show the song currently playing in any of the windows. It stays on the first song that played. thanks
Hey buddy, my settings switched to JAPANESE. Now my menu is actually different then what displays above, I can understand a lot of it but there litterally is no English option. Is there a file I can download for this?
I don't know of any way to do it with just Foobar2000. You could use Autohotkey to do it though. For instance, to make Ctrl+F1 play a file, you'd put this in the Autohotkey file: ^F1::SoundPlay, path_to_file and run it. You could also use AHK Soundboard www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=27260.0
It did not open the way you show. I got basically a blank shell. Then I went to preferences and selected the first option and it automatically loaded all my songs, which I didn't want. In Layout mode, could not drag and drop items on the toolbar at top. Didn't match what you show. Not user friendly. Couldn't figure out so I uninstalled this player.
Very simple but well made and concise video. Just what I needed to get set up.
Why can't all tutorials be like this? Thank you so much.
thx, your vid was more clear than some i've seen
Thank you! 20+ min trying to find out how to add albums in Library instead of Playlist ... before your video ... thanks again!
Very good. 7 Years later i use this :)
Thanks, clear, concise and extremely helpful, Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
Dziękuje, bardzo dobra prezentacja, chyba najlepsza dla początkującego :)

Hello. Foobar cannot open .bfwav files. What should I do?
Very helpful. Thanks for Sharing.
Many thanks! Very helpful.
how do you get it to show the current song playing in the windows. I set it on random and when I click next it does NOT show the song currently playing in any of the windows. It stays on the first song that played. thanks

On mine I had to click "Library View" in preferences .. CRUCIAL step!
how do i set a hotkey for a song?
How do I add music to foobar?
Set Library > Configure > Music Folders to a directory with music in it.
You didn't watch the video?
@NightLife UK what?
Is there a way to hotkey a sound file? Like for playing a game and you just want to press a key and it activates that sound file?

Dan Hersam Thank you
Sure thing :)
I can't save under edit. What am I doing wrong?
Try file then save....... Edit is not where save option is located at for all programs.

Video used different version as you got.
