foobar2000 ~ Duration & Subsong Manager

Posted by tom2tec on

A foobar2000 component that lets you override the length of any track, hide individual subsongs from the Media Library, and read playback time at millisecond precision.

Language: English | 中文

Features:

Duration Manager — custom track length
  • Set a custom length for any track via the context menu “Set custom duration”.
  • Manage all overrides in Preferences → Tools → Duration & Subsong Manager → Duration Manager (search, edit, delete).
  • Overrides are matched by file content hash + subsong index, so they survive file moves/renames.
  • During playback the track is automatically truncated to the custom length (jumps to the next track when reached).
Subsong Manager — hide subsongs
  • For multi-subsong files, choose exactly which subsongs are visible in the autoplaylists.
  • Configure include/exclude ranges (e.g. 1-3,5,7) or checkbox in Preferences → Tools → Duration & Subsong Manager → Subsong Manager.
  • Note: this filters the Media Library query at runtime, so changes take effect after a restart.
High-Precision Timer (UI element)
  • An auxiliary UI element for the Duration Manager that shows playback position and track length in millisecond precision: [HH:]MM:SS.mmm.
  • Add it via the layout editor like any other UI element (“High-Precision Timer”).
Compatibility
  • foobar2000 v2.0 or newer, Windows, 32-bit and 64-bit.
  • Built against the foobar2000 SDK (2025-03-07).

24seven.fm Covers ~ Radio Cover Art

Posted by tom2tec on

Cover-art for the 24seven.fm family of internet radio stations — Streaming Soundtracks, 1980s.FM, Adagio.FM, Death.FM, and Entranced.FM. A shared, host-agnostic C++ engine drives three Windows front-ends plus a cross-platform core library:

ComponentDirectoryOutputBuild system
Desktop viewerdesktop/24sevenfm_covers.exe
(x64, self-contained)		MSBuild (.vcxproj / .sln)
Winamp pluginwinamp/gen_24sevenfm_covers.dll
(x86 / 32-bit)		CMake
foobar2000 componentfoobar2000/foo_24sevenfm_covers/foo_24sevenfm_covers.dll
(x64)		MSBuild
(.vcxproj)
Core librarylib/coverfetch static lib (cross-platform)CMake

All three front-ends share the same Direct2D renderer (shared/d2d_*.cpp), the cover engine (shared/cover_engine.* — cover preload, crossfade/flip transitions, remaining-time countdown), the options page (shared/options_*), and the networking/parse library (lib/). The library alone (lib/) is portable C++11 and already cross-compiles for Android/iOS.

foobar2000 ~ foo_filename_editor

Posted by tom2tec on

Advanced file renamer component for foobar2000 media player. This plugin helps you rename your physical audio files on your hard drive based on their metadata tags, while ensuring a seamless, smart, and fully automated workflow.

Key Features:

  • Smart Track Number Padding: Automatically scans all selected tracks. If the album contains 100 or more tracks, it pads numbers to 3 digits (001, 002), otherwise it defaults to 2 digits (01, 02) dynamically.
  • Intelligent Compilation (Various Artists) Detection: Automatically checks %album artist% and %artist% tags. If it detects a compilation, it seamlessly applies your custom VA formatting template.
  • Advanced Case Conversion: Supports Title Case, Smart Title Case (keeps short words like a, an, the, and, with lowercase), Sentence case, ALL CAPS, and lowercase.
  • Roman Numerals Preservation: Intelligently detects standalone Roman numerals (e.g., Part iii) and forces them to uppercase (Part III) across all case conversion modes (except lowercase). Includes protection against false positives (words like MIX, DIV).
  • Extended Unicode & Ligature Support: Works perfectly with Windows native APIs, preserving and processing complex characters like æ, œ, ß, and language-specific diacritics.
  • Safe Formatting Menu: Quick insertion menu for popular tags and safely escaped syntax characters like '(', ')', '[', ']', and single/double quotes (', '').
  • Seamless Playlist Synchronization & Reload: Automatically replaces dead file links in all open playlists with the newly renamed paths. Instantly reloads file tags and durations in the background—no broken links, no manual reloading required!
  • Robust Error Handling: If a file cannot be renamed (e.g., if it is locked or currently playing), the plugin bypasses it without crashing and provides a detailed summary report of successful and failed files.
  • Persistent Settings: Remembers your custom single/VA templates, history list, checkboxes status, and even your preferred window column widths between sessions.

🎵 M3U/M3U8 Playlist Generation (v1.1)

The plugin now includes built-in support for generating playlist files automatically during the renaming process:

  • Save M3U Checkbox: Automatically creates a playlist file in the top-level directory of your processed files.
  • Custom Naming Templates: Use standard foobar2000 title formatting syntax (like %album% or %artist% - %album%) to dynamically name your playlist file.
  • EXTINF Metadata: Optional toggle to write standard #EXTM3U and #EXTINF headers containing track durations and formatted titles (%artist% - %title%).
  • Smart Conflict Resolution & Overwrite Toggle: Prevents accidental loss of data. If overwrite is disabled, the plugin safely creates incremented filenames like Playlist (1).m3u.
  • UTF-8 Compatibility: Playlists are written with a proper UTF-8 BOM, ensuring seamless support for non-ASCII characters, symbols, and ligatures.

foobar2000 ~ foo_musical_key

Posted by tom2tec on

foo_musical_key is a foobar2000 component that detects the musical key of selected tracks with libkeyfinder or by ear via a MIDI piano keyboard interface, writes the result to foobar2000’s metadata database, and can write the key tag back into the source audio file.

The component adds a Musical Key Analyser context-menu group and ships as a standard .fb2k-component package for foobar2000 users.

Features:

  • Detect musical keys automatically for one or many selected tracks (libkeyfinder).
  • Detect the key of a single track manually by playing notes on your keyboard (MIDI out, Windows default GS synth).
  • Run automatic analysis in a background worker with foobar2000 progress UI.
  • Write detected keys to foobar2000’s metadata DB without touching the file.
  • Write the key tag from the DB into the audio file on disk (separate action).
  • Choose one of three output notations:
    • Standard (C, Am, Dbm)
    • Camelot (8B, 8A)
    • Open Key (1d, 1m)
  • Configurable tag name (default: Initial Key).
  • Build x86 and x64 binaries and package them into one .fb2k-component.

foobar2000 ~ foo_strip

Posted by on

A standalone, draggable, always-on-top playback strip for foobar2000 on Windows, inspired by Deskband Controls. Album art, scrolling title/artist, transport controls, and a working seek bar — floating over your desktop, independent of foobar’s own window. Reads position/length and seeks directly through foobar’s playback_control (no SMTC or bridge).
