Quick Installation Note (for advanced foobar users)
  1. Install required fonts and required components

  2. Be sure foobar is not running then extract content of the .zip archive in your foobar200 profile folder (configuration folder + sqlite3.exe)
    >> if portable installation done , it's the same folder as the foobar2000 program folder, for example "D:\Portable Software\foobar2000\"
    >> if standard installation done , for windows Seven, it's here => "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\", for windows XP it's here => "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\foobar2000\"

  3. When done, Run foobar

  4. If prompted (only for fresh install), select ColumnsUI as default interface

  5. On the Spotifoo splash screen, click the red "click" button to complete the installation

  6. In order to use last.fm integration, you have to set:
    >> your last.fm username and password in the settings of foo_softplaylist and foo_audioscrobbler (foobar Preferences->Tools ...)
    >> your last.fm username and api key by clicking the last.fm button of the config (near the loved button)

Detailled Installation Note (for newbies):
  1. Install required fonts if missing on your windows system

  2. Make a fresh install of foobar2000 v1.1.1 minimum

  3. Install all the required components => check foobar2000 documentation if you don't know how to install a component! (since v1.1, install is done under foobar / Preferences / Components with Install button)

  4. Be sure foobar is not running then extract content of the .zip archive in your foobar200 profile folder (configuration folder + sqlite3.exe)
    >> if portable installation done , it's the same folder as the foobar2000 program folder, for example "D:\Portable Software\foobar2000\")
    >> if standard installation done , for windows Seven, it's here => "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\", for windows XP it's here => "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\foobar2000\"

  5. When done, Run foobar

  6. When prompted, select ColumnsUI as default interface

  7. On the Spotifoo splash screen, if controls are OK (fonts and components check) click the red "click" button to complete the installation

  8. In order to use last.fm integration, you'll have to set:
    >> your last.fm username and password in the settings of foo_softplaylist and foo_audioscrobbler (foobar Preferences->Tools ...)
    >> your last.fm username and api key by clicking the last.fm button of the config (near the loved button)

  9. Don't forget to configure your Library, hide the default CUI Toolbar if still visible on top ... and have good time with my config and mostly with your music!


Important notes
  1. To enable last.fm (last.fm loved track binded with heart button and displayed in playlist + playcount in playlist replaced by the playcount from last.fm) ==> click the last.fm button then select 'Enable last.fm ...'

  2. Last.fm feature (loved track + playcount) when last.fm is enabled, are stored locally in customdb as specific TAG (local TAG for love and playcount are not replaced !!! no sync in tags at all)

  3. You need to set your last.fm username and API key by clicking the last.fm button.

  4. You need to set your last.fm username and password in the settings of the components : foo_softplaylists and foo_audioscrobbler

  5. If after that, it doesn't work, try Spotifoo on a fresh portable install of foobar, there must be a bad setting somewhere in your actual config already present before installing the latest Spotifoo version, and set all settings as it should be (up!)


Lyrics panel information
    - It's a WSH script that gets lyrics from TAG first then from local file in Music folder then in foobar2000\lyrics\ and it displays them (scrolling+sync)
    - It handles TXT and LRC format (sync handled), but not the LRC Enhanced format (translated to simple LRC format)
    - exotics timestamps are now handled (like [9:99], [99:99.999], [9:99.999], [99:99:999] ...)
    - filenames supported are : <%artist%> -<%title%>.lrc (or .txt) AND <%artist%> - <%title%>.lrc (or .txt)
    - Comments, Blank lines (no timestamp) and Info lines (ar:, ti, ...) are ignored.
    - Manual Scrolling possible with the mousewheel (double click on the panel to re-center on the active line)
    - Optional requirements :
    => a lyrics grabber component (i.e: Lyric Show Panel (by hidding the panel, just a PSS setting), foo_lyricsDB 2, ...)

All functions still works perfect on foobar 1.3.16 (07.10.2017)
Last.FM sync works perfect too, except for "Love" button. When I press it, in console log shows up 2 lines:

- Playcount sync: Contacting Last.fm....
- Playcount sync: Last.fm responded 'OK'"

But on last.fm site "red heart" doesn't appears.

How can I fix it?
Maybe last.fm changed some API commands that have impact on this "Love" button?
At the same time button works perfect, when gets info from last.fm server.
It looks like it can receive data from last.fm but can't send. 

Thanks for perfect theme anyway!
I'm using it since 2011!

Great theme, but how can enhance the view?
I have a 4k display. All menu items are extremely small and the playlist font is too big, doesn't fit ...
I am sure it's a setting, probably in windows 10... Can anybody help?

Hi, I love your theme, but I would like to disable the minimize to tray feature, I can't seem to find where to do this, can you point me in the right direction?
Zaizeku's avatar
nevermind, found the solution, for the people interested, just go to Preferences>Display>ColumnsUI and go to the Notification Area Tab, check or uncheck what you want and you're done. Excellent theme man. Thanks for your hard work.

Play count sync with Last FM isn't working. It displays if you love a track, but not how much you've played it.

Hi Br3tt.

I've been a fan of this theme forever, but I recently ran into a problem When I reinstalled on a new computer Foobar 1.3: FLAC file lyrics don't load. Some research ( www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/i… ) indicates that getting tags has changed... Is there any easy way to change your script to properly grab tags, or do I need to track down a foobar 1.2.9 installer?

Thanks!

if you read the change log on foobar2000 site, you can read this for v1.3:
  • Spurious/oversized metadata such as whole EAC logs entries are now dropped from foobar2000's cache, for better search performance and lower resource usage.
    • The feature is now customizable by editing LargeFieldsConfig.txt in foobar2000 profile folder [beta 3].
so, i don't know which tags are missing for you, but just try to add them to the file above.

Adding them to fieldbasic worked, thanks! I don't know how I managed to miss that.

Windows Update recently broke this skin again (I'm on Win7 64-bit), and it took me a couple of days to figure out how to fix it. This did the trick:

regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\scrrun.dll

You might've seen suggestions like this before with "system32" in the place of "SysWOW64", and I tried that first, but only when I tried with SysWOW64 did it work. Apparently it's the 32-bit version of the Scripting Engine (scrrun.dll) that got unregistered somehow.

If you're on a 32-bit version of Windows, you should use "system32" instead of "SysWOW64".

P.S. Full disclosure: I tried to start using other skins after various things I tried didn't work to fix this one, but just couldn't do it. This skin is just too perfect. Glad I figured it out.

Please disregard my early comments. I noticed that you've already answered it. My apologies.

Sorry for the newbie question, but is there a way to manually define column width for categories in the library pane? I tag my tracks with multiple genres and would like to make the genre column wider so I can see more than one genre at a time. 

Thanks for any help you can provide

Sorry for the newbie question, but is there a way to manually define the widths for the different columns within the library pane? I tag my songs with multiple genres and I can typically only see one of them with pre-defined column width.

I've been using this skin for months and months, and it is hands down my favorite. Props to you, seriously. You managed to create what's in my opinion the best skin of many.

since yesterday it says:

Scripting Engine Initialization Failed ({58F01810-5321-451E-8EFF-A0A53C13F696}, CODE: 0x80040154): Klasse nicht registriert

the foobar windows is completely white atm :(

I love this skin with a passion. Since I stumbled upon it a few years ago, no other media player, and no other skin for foobar2000 has persuaded me to switch.

Recently I was running onto "Automation server can't create object" errors that I couldn't resolve. Unticking "Safe Mode" in WSH Panel Mod's options didn't help, changing security settings in Internet Options didn't help, but I finally came across a solution and got my favorite player and skin back. I wrote a detailed solution on my blog: [link]

Hope it helps other users as well!
