Is there anyway to confirm a real FLAC file vs a fake?  People have suggested to use spectrogram software such as "Spek" but others have said this will still not give a definitive answer.   FLAC files are suppose to go past 22 kHz on the spectrum, while 320 kbps mp3 should be 20 kHz.    ...

Anybody have an opinion?  I realize both these interfaces are quite old, but I know the E-MU 0404 was very popular back in the day.  I am just curious as to which is better of the two.

For a while now I have been using a first generation M-Audio MobilePre USB.  I have been using it with my HD598 headphones and also using the line-in to plug in my electric guitar and bass guitar.  The quality seems good but I don't notice a huge difference over onboard sound.  I can however...

Good topic thanks for linking me. But what about oil from hair that gets on the velour?  Do you guys care about this?  Do you wipe the headphones after each use or do you just let it dry?  (although I don't think oil really dries)   What about headphones where the velour has worn away...

Hi all.  I haven't been to this forum in months.   I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 449 which I got for $78 after tax!  I thought it was a good price so I went for it.   Now to the question...   I have long hair and when I was just trying on my new headphones the earmuffs got kind...

I don't get any of that info when I hover over. I get the name, type, size, and date.   For example I open the album folder with all the tracks.   To the right of the name of the track it says "Contributing Artists' , 'Album' , '#', and 'Title' .   What version of Windows are you...

Yes it's all filled out there.  Like I said, in Foobar it's fine.   In Windows Explorer, it only shows the name.   On my phone, it only shows the album art and 'Unknown artist.'

I got an album in FLAC and in Foobar the tags look good.  Proper album art, proper artist name, track #, date, genre, etc.   However, when I open it in Windows Explorer none of that information is filled out.  It just has the file name.   So FLAC does not use ID3 tag.   How exactly...

What do you mean by the tagging options?  Like I said the genres were fine in iTunes.  So what exactly changed it from something like 'Rap' to '17'.  That makes no sense.  It only did it with a few random songs.  Not full albums.

Well I got some help and managed to delete some stuff but I am still having problems.   The track list does not line up properly. Track 3 Track 11 Track 1   It should be 1, 3, 11.   When you look at the album from the columns UI 'Library' it is correct.  But if you use the...

Quote: Ok maybe we are talking about different things?  I have no playlists.   I am using Columns UI so I have a 'library' similar to iTunes where I can scroll through all my music.  Is that still considered a 'playlist' ?

I am doing the file operations route.  There is an empty folder.   There is nothing asking me that I have an empty folder to delete.   I also notice if a song has the wrong album name and I rename it, Foobar still keeps the song inside the old folder.   For example.   Shape of my...

Quote: No I have NO problem deleting a song inside Foobar.   Right click song > file operations > delete file = Song goes to recycle bin.   C:\ Music \ Artist Name Here \ Album Name here \ SONG WAS DELETED HERE   Song was deleted bu "ALBUM" remains. So there is an empty...

Quote: There is no File operations under context menu.  You can right click a song and go file operations > delete.   I don't think you understand.   I have no problem deleting a song or songs.   Empty folders are left behind when a song is deleted.  That leaves a very messy...

No I want them removed from disk. Example - song in my library I don't want anymore AT ALL.   Delete the song - song is sent to recycle bin - but empty folder the song was in remains.

Quote: That's not what I want.   Just as you say - as Music Manager.   I want my collection of albums and songs to be organized.  Not empty folders, properly tagged songs, and so on.

I am trying to give Foobar another shot.  I am finding the music organization very poor compared to iTunes 'automatically manage music.' When I remove a song in Foobar, it's not actually deleted.  I am not exactly sure what this feature even does.  When you open Foobar again, the song is...

Quote: Can I limit the most played like top 50 similar to iTunes?   Can you show a screenshot of your Foobar?  Without columns ui the layout is very hard to configure.

Quote: I am using columns ui.  I want it for all songs, not current.  Is that not possible? Okay I was skipping to the end of the track.  Apparently you have to play at least half of the song.  Is there anyway to edit playcount of  a song and have a most played list?

Quote: I don't want the whole selection properties, just the size somewhere on the bottom.   When I have my library "all" selected it says 10000 songs 4 weeks, 3 days for example.   I added the play count, but it does not update when a track finishes.  Tried with a few.  ...

Quote: never heard of jriver.   I downloaded a few foobar components and got it looking somewhat better.   It however has no playcount beside the song name, no total song / library size in gigabyte/terabyte, and the filter seems like crappy.  I go in type in metal and it gives me...

I am looking for the following components if they even exist.   -  Total song count / size.  ie. 10000 songs 100gb.   Playcount   -  Show playcount beside song name.   Genre organization   -  Show genre beside album/title/artist at the top.

Quote: I started using Foobar since I signed up on this forum.  The default layout sucks.   I want to change somethings but I don't know a safe site to go to.

Quote: Link me? I was looking at foobar customization a couple months ago and I was being led to 3rd party sites. If possible I would rather get it from one area or a known site so I know it's not full of viruses.

which do you prefer? I dislike Apple computers, os, and all software but iTunes.  Now the new version is out and I am not so sure about it.   why I dislike iTunes 11...   There is no album art in the bottom left corner, there is this stupid arrow besides all my song tracks and when I...
