Foobar2000 ~ EAC Log Viewer Script


SMP EAC Log Viewer for Foobar2000

The SMP EAC Log Viewer is a Spider Monkey Panel (SMP) script for Foobar2000 designed to display Exact Audio Copy (EAC) log files in a DUI panel. It preserves the alignment of log columns, color-codes the conclusion lines for quick success/error identification, and prepends a summary line so it scrolls with the rest of the log.

Features:

  • DUI panel
  • Monospace font: Preserves column alignment in all EAC logs.
  • Color-coded conclusions:
    • Green = successful rip
    • Red = errors found
  • Summary line: Displays overall pass/fail and scrolls with the log.
  • Automatic log detection: Checks multiple common naming conventions:
    • %album%.log
    • %artist% - %album%.log
    • EAC.log

Installation:

  1. Download the script
    Get the latest version of the SMP script from the GitHub repository:
    github.com/tom2tec/foobar2000_smp_eac_log_viewer/releases
  2. Copy the script
    Copy and paste the eac_log_viewer_panel.js script into your preferred scripts folder. Typical choices:
    • C:\Users\<YourName>\Documents\Foobar\scripts
    • Or any folder you already use for SMP scripts.
  3. Add a Spider Monkey Panel
    • Open Foobar2000 and switch to your DUI layout.
    • Right-click → Add New UI Element → Spider Monkey Panel
    • Open the Edit Panel Script… pane and paste the contents of eac_log_viewer_panel.js. or point to the script’s location in Panel Properties → Script File → File.
  4. Adjust panel settings
    • Set the font to match your DUI theme (monospace).
    • Resize the panel to comfortably display the full log width.

Usage:

  • The panel automatically updates when:
    • You play a new track.
    • You change focus in the playlist.
  • Scroll through the log using your mouse wheel.
  • The summary line shows the overall rip status and scrolls with the text.
  • Color-coded lines highlight conclusions: green for success, red for errors.

Notes:

  • The script is optimized for one log per album, but will attempt all three naming conventions for flexibility.
  • Unusually named logs may require manual renaming in order to conform or add an input condition to the script.
  • DUI theming preserves font and panel appearance but maintains column alignment.

Foobar2000 ~ Album Based Beats Per Minute


Beats Per minute is great for playlist of songs sorted by BPM but it would be useful to sort albums by BPM as well. To do this the following script calculates an average of BPM information from each song of the album and write that value to ALBUM_AVG_BPM. Then just create a playlist sorted by artist then album_avg_bpm

SMP Album Average BPM Calculator Script

In the DUI, toggle layout and create a new panel or tab, then right click the new area and add a New UI Element, scroll down to the Utility section and select Spider Monkey Panel and click OK. Now right click the new Spider Monkey Panel and select Edit Panel Script. Select the entire contents on the new ‘Temporary File’ window and replace them with the following script.
