question: how do i get the ios app to show artwork embedded in the flac files?

context:

• so i have an icloud folder full of flac files and the ios app is not showing the embedded album art. the windows 11 app uses the exact same folder and displays the artwork fine. I also used VLC on my phone in the past with the same files and it showed the artwork.
• I have the "folder browsing: show album art" setting toggled on (the only ios setting remotely related to album art)
• i have not seen it overtly stated but my googling makes me think that the ios app may not support embedded artwork, can anyone confirm?
• my goal is to be able quickly download music on my phone and drop it in a single folder without having to also download jpegs and structure albums in folders. if embedded artwork doesnt work please let me know if there's a workaround that could fit this workflow

thank you to anyone who takes the time to help!

It's definitely not as in depth as a lot of the other themes I've seen here, and I'm completely okay with that. I tried to keep it simple on purpose. It's a perfect spotify replacement for me.

Hi.

I currate a playlist specifically for my smartphone and I want to keep the same file strcuture than with my full library and want the cover art to show.

However, the current way I have to do that is to use the Copy function, set my file mask and it can copy the files with the original directory structure somewhere else. However, that does not copy the cover art file that's in the folder.

I know there's the option to copy the entire folder content but I do not want to copy my log, playlist and scans files along with the cover art.

Is there a way, with an extension... something... anything... that can copy the audio files and the cover art of the album without copying the whole folder contents?

Thanks

P.S My cover art pattern is a cover art file in each album/disc folder and no embeds.

I have no idea what I did.. but now when I click on properties.. all the fields are gone, like there should be a column saying artist, track title etc.. Anyone know how to get it back?

I tried to search for the similar problem in this sub but people are talking about Visualizer FPS, my problem is the UI fps, im using column UI with eole theme, and the UI always feels like its on 30 fps. I tried to look on the settings and eole UI github but theres no one discussing about this

So basically when I play a song it is very low in volume. I tried using replaygain but it makes the audio glitchy. Any ideas?

I just installed Foobar2000 x64 and when trying the new exclusive mode (and even WASAPI), the music plays normally, but the seekbar, lyrics, and elapsed time go way too fast. When the seekbar reaches the end, it generates the error "invalid parameter". Is it a bug of the exclusive mode?

Thanks!

I don't know if there is a specific setting i missed when looking for issues but the program/player doesn't start when i try to play my .cue archive. You can look the code of the certain archive here:

Am i doing something wrong? 'Cause i have removed the "MP3" from the FILE line as i was supposed to, yet the archive doesn’t even start and says it is "empty".

I asked this same question in the foobar2000 forum. Still looking for solutions, though.

Im using OpenLyrics.

I don’t know if 1.6.4 caused this or if I changed a setting I shouldn’t have, but I can’t get any sound out of the foobar2000 iOS app, Bluetooth or phone speaker. I’m using the app on the iPhone 16 pro iOS 18.1.1, app version is 1.6.4

I have been ripping CD like a mad man, and I have been using FooBar for Playback but also to keep track of how many GB of music I have. Today I added more music, and the size display >97.8GB, is this a bug, or is there some setting I need to change to make it accurately show the size of playlist?

Is it somehow possible to create a custom field "TXXX:grouping" in fb2k? When I try to add a custom field called 'grouping', it it created as "TIT1", as described on the wiki (https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:ID3\_Tag\_Mapping). I specifically need the field as "TXXX:grouping" as the audioserver that I use for audiobooks (audiobookshelf) needs this exactly as that, otherwise it will not read the tag for book sequence and series. When I add this field in another tool (I used kid3), this is read the same as "TIT1" and cannot be modified separately. Btw, mp3tag creates this field as "GRP1", which audiobookshelf also doies not read.

Any ideas?

In Media Library:

Show errors -

File: /storage/emulated/0/Music
Status: Access denied

When I try to play a file with Foobar2000 in Google files I get "error processing URL android// [...] Object not found" It closes so fast it's hard for me to read the whole error though :(

Incidentally, I searched the issue on Google and my previous post from 2 years ago was the top result! 🤣

https://www.reddit.com/r/foobar2000/comments/ytgcgl/trying_to_play_tracks_on_android_phone_from_usb/

Update I did this:

Go to your device settings > Apps > Select the app that's trying to access the music. Ensure the "Storage" permission is toggled on.

This cleared the error in the media library, but I still can't play a single thing off the USB with Foobar2000. I can see the 'Music' folder is greyed out, if that means anything.

Hi all, does anyone know A) where are the foobar2000 directories located in a nvidia shield installation B) is there a lyrics plugin that works on Android (a nvidia shield)? C) how to install the foobar2000 lyrics plugin on a nvidia shield Thanks

I've been wanting to get the Foobar2000 taskbar icon to show the progress of songs for a long time now, I know there's an add-on called "Windows 7 Integration" (foo_w7shell), but it's been abandoned. Today I found an add-on that even works on Windows 11 and is updated, it's called "Taskbar Playback Progress Bar" (foo_taskbar_playback_progress_bar) and it works perfectly. Even the progress bar below the Foobar2000 icon turns yellow when the song is paused.

A few days ago I upgraded to v2.1.6 (32-Bit) and the only add-on I couldn't install due to Windows 11 limitations is DeskBand Controls and I really missed being able to know the playback position of the songs without having to enter Foobar2000. What the "Taskbar Playback Progress Bar" plugin does should either be included within the program itself as it is an extremely useful feature or posted on the official plugins page on the Foobar2000 site for easier access.

I don't think FLAC supports 32-bit float, but it should at least convert to 24-bit.

Long shot here, because google fails me XD

Is there a plugin for non-game/non-modtracks music where you can loop tracks based on tag info?

I got a few PC games that store their music in ogg and opus (quality is ofc also not the best, but I dont care) that are looping within the games, and the music files do in fact have loop data on them which I could convert to whatever the plugin uses... if there is such a plugin.

There is a loop plugin, but that one only works for current track and you have to manually pick start and stop

In my Foobar client, I went to preferences -> OpenLyrics -> and then moved all the Available Sources to the Search Order column shown in the picture above.

As I did so and clicked Apply, a warning popped up saying that I needed a token for Musixmatch to work? I couldn't locate the '?' button elsewhere than my own keyboard, so I foolishly pressed the '?' on my keyboard which led to nothing.

Can anyone help me figure out how I can get this token, and how I can add it to Foobar so that Musixmatch would work? I have yet to figure out the full potential of Foobar as I am still at the tippy tip of the iceberg, but I think making Musixmatch able would be a meaningful step. I couldn't find any posts on Reddit regarding this issue, and by past experience I find Redditors the most helpful when facing these problems. Thank you in advance for understanding my limited knowledge of Foobar and helping me out!

I'm getting this error when trying to play some audiobook files. I can play the files in VLC.

If I use the pause button in foobar everything (video, sound) stops working system wide until foobar is unpaused, is it a setting or bug?

I use yt-dlp --replace-in-metadata description "\n" "\r\n" for f2k to work

So, I am having a hard time converting files on foobar2000 without changing their default codec names. For instance, my original file has the "CODEC" and "Encoding" fields in "Details" from "Properties". But when I convert it with foobar2000, there is an added "Tool" field below "CODEC" and "Encoding". This added "Tool" field cannot be removed unlike other metadata on foobar2000. Which is annoying. Does anyone know how to convert audio files without an added "Tool" field on foobar2000 when I check metadata information?

New to Mac so I’m not sure if this has something to do with macOS not being able to verify the software and preventing network file access.

Playback Error: “Unable to open item for playback (file is already in use.)

Synology DS NFS file permissions allow VLC to play the file. No issues with RW file access from anywhere but foobar2000. No playback error when the file is local. I’ve tried giving the app developer tool access, network access. New Mac and everything is on the latest versions. I have installed using homebrew as well as the DMG package file. I’ve tried running fubar 2000 with Sudo permissions same error.

After days hour of testing, I’m at a total loss. Any suggestions on what to try next? Thanks.

I'm using the Eole theme, which includes Library Tree for one of its SpiderMonkey Panels.

Say I have three albums: one by The Hats, one by Billy Jones, and one collab album between The Hats and Billy Jones. I want to create a library view option that sorts the three albums into two artists, with the collab album nested under both artists' names, and which lists The Hats alphabetically before Billy Jones by ignoring the "The" in the former's name and sorting Billy Jones by his last name. I can do the last part by inputting "Jones, Billy" as the album artist and "Billy Jones" as just the artist. The rest I want to achieve with syntax. I find the Library Tree panel in the layout, click "Configure Panel...", and open the "Properties" tab, then scroll down until I see "View XX" in the left column. The right column is for the syntax.

I know how to make it sort album artists by ignoring prefixes:

$nodisplay{$stripprefix(%<album artist>%)}

And I know how to make it categorize by album artist name first and artist name second:

$if(%<album artist>%,%<album artist>%,%<artist>%)

I got both of these from searching this subreddit. What I'm trying to do is combine the two such that I achieve the goal I explained. But I can't figure out how to do that; even when I include both lines of code, it only does one or the other thing, and depending on how I Frankenstein the two together, I may make it unable to sort by album artist at all. It also seems to be less destructive in DUI than CUI for some reason. Here's where I gave up last night after hours of troubleshooting:

$nodisplay{$stripprefix(%<album artist>%)}$if(%<album artist>%,%<album artist>%,%artist%)|%year%|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%

Is there a way to make this code do what I want it to, or do I need to rethink my approach?

I need a foobar2000 column string that shows track number > disc number without 0s if less than 10 but also no disc number at all if no disc number.

• example - 1 (Track 1, No Disc number)
• example - 1.1 (Track 1, Disc 1)
• example - 1.2 (Track 1, Disc 2)
• example - 11.15 (Track 11, Disc 15)

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
