Might not be for long since, whenever I try to play a file from outside. By simply double clicking it. Foobar stats playing it, BUT it deletes all the contents of a playlist that has been already selected. This seems very stupid. In winamp there was no such thing.

double clicking on playlist tries to rename it instead of playing it.. o.O? why

You can change both of those behaviors in the preferences if you just dig enough. I'd tell you the exact places if I had foobar in front of me, but I'm at work and it's not gonna happen. Hopefully either I, at a later time, or the next person can point you in the right direction.

I can give you my Foobar settings and GUI if you are interested. It works way better after you customized it all.

Would appreciate the help very much.

Right. Here are some settings.

You will need columns UI for this. You can download that here:
http://yuo.be/columns.php

Now what you do is the following. You place the columns file in the components directory. After doing this you start Foobar. Foobar will ask you if you want to use columns. You do.

Now you unpack my file. After this you go to File\ Preferences \ Columns UI
Check importing and import the file that I uploaded here. It's called EnO.fcs

Restart Foobar. Everything should work now.

Thanks for help, but I still get playlist deleted when I click on any sound file from outside of foobar, it does start playing the file in the current selected playlist and deletes everything in it. ><

Go to preferences\ General and check all the options at Commandline.

If your playlist is still called default then you can leave it at that. If you renamed your playlist change the name there as well.

One more thing, I looked all over the settings, everywhere. But why can't I find the simple "double clicking the playlist itself in the playlist browser, starts playing it?" It is driving me nuts ;p I fixed the renaming issue but that's about it.

Are you are using foobar?

I really can't find it right now. I can do this by default I think. That would seem a lot more logical to me anyway.

I'll keep looking for a bit. But I am not sure if I will find it.

BTW. What version are you using?

Edit: Did you switch the User Interface Mode? I forgot to mention that. Preferences \Display
Select Columns UI there and restart foobar.

This, yes it is columns UI.

Right, in Preferences -> General, check "Enqueue incoming files by default when adding from commandline" and "Always send to playlist" where you then specify which playlist you want the files to be put in.

I might have to simply give up and go back to winamp, heh. Presumable sound quality difference isn't worth almost days headache.

 

[Suzuka]

Bye, bye foobar, it was rather quick and tumultuous relationship indeed, here is my winamp shot

thanks for help guys.

 

[EnOYiN]

The sound quality is about the same right now. So just use what suits you best.

This may be obvious to others but why would anyone use Foobar except for the fun of infinite configuration?
