Navigator in album mode does expect full albums. However, Navigator has two display modes, album mode and singles mode. Try it out.

1. Click file->preferences->display->Columns UI
2. Make sure you're on the main tab and click the import button.
3. Make your way into the components folder. If you extracted the navigator columns ui configuration here there should be a folder called navigator something. Go in there and open the file that says singlemode.

that's helped alot, though it still repeats the artist n album every line, its alot better than the previous display.

thanks!

Hmm, maybe I'm just not seeing it, but is there a dll to make 9.2 handle wma files? I have a LOT of wma lossless files.

There isn't one, because it isn't necessary. Native WMA support was added starting in 0.9.1.

Ah, great! Thanks for the info!

One last thing to work out and I'll have it the way I want it, and will post my fcs. The last snag is that it doesn't seem to always handle vbr formatted files correctly. I get most of my vbr's, which probably average about 200 kbps, displaying in the Quality column as 32, 64 and 96 kbps, so the song lengths are wrong, too. I suppose it's doing some calculations, and when one is off, so's the other. Strangely enough, though, in the system tray the bitrate is correct, but the track length is still wrong. Any idea how to remedy this?

Just a bump since basic Foobar config questions are coming again; This is the best thread I know of to show people how to set up a decent GUI in Foobar 2k.

I have a few questions.

1. What do I have to add into the track info panel's formatting string so that it will follow my cursor all the time? Now it only shows info of the track which is playing.

I would also like foobar to follow cursor all the time. So if I have one track playing on playlist A then if I select other track from playlist B I would like it to play next. Now it plays the next track on playlist A.

2. Where can I get custom buttons for 0.9.3?

3. Where can I get history panel for 0.9.3?
