foo_vis_milk2 ~ Foobar2000 MilkDrop 2 Visualizer

Posted by tom2tec on

foo_vis_milk2 is a port for foobar2000 of Winamp’s MilkDrop 2 music visualizer. It additionally migrates rendering from its original DirectX 9 to DirectX 11.

MilkDrop 2 takes you flying through visualizations of the soundwaves you’re hearing. It uses beat detection to trigger myriad psychedelic effects, creating a rich visual journey through sound.

Features:

  • Uses DirectX 11 for rendering.
  • Uses updated libraries.
  • vis_milk2 has been upgraded to use more modern C++ alongside DirectX 11. Deprecated or insecure functions have been rewritten and most unused functionality removed.
  • Configurable through foobar2000 preferences instead of INI files.
  • Supports the Default User Interface (Default UI) only.
  • Tested on foobar2000 v2.1.2 (x86 32-bit and x86 64-bit) and Microsoft Windows 11 (Build 22621).

Adding Songs To Foobar2000’s Media Library

Posted by tom2tec on

When you first install Foobar2000, you’ll need to set up the Media Library. The library function monitors your music folders and allows you to access and manage your audio files. The better the accuracy of the filenames and the metadata, the more accurate the library catalog functions will work. You only need to add the main top folder. You can also add additional main folders in other locations.

File > Preferences > Media Library > Music Folders > Add…



Adding audio files to your Music folder will automatically be included into your library. You can also directly point Foobar2000 to new folders or files via the Files menu.

Foobar2000 ~ Installing A Component

foo_dsp_stereoconv ~ Natural Headphone Crossfeed

Posted by tom2tec on

​Natural crossfeed Foobar2000 component designed to give a realistic crossfeed / speaker simulation effect on headphones or earphones while producing a wide soundstage and zero sound coloration.

Simulates speakers spaced 30+30 degrees apart (classic stereo setup with better front projection of imaging) or 50+50 degrees apart (widened stereo setup with more similarity to classic headphone soundstage width)

Update 2016-07-26: I’ve put the “secret” update in public as v2.1, containing a new set of impulses. They also come in 30+30 degree and 50+50 degree versions but are derived from actual measurements around my head.

Posted by tom2tec on

ListenBrainz 2

A foobar2000 component to submit the music you listened to to ListenBrainz or another ListenBrainz compatible scrobble server (for example Maloja).

This component was originally written by marc2k3. This repository is an attempt to preserve the source code of this excellent component and hopefully to revive the development.

What is ListenBrainz? ListenBrainz keeps track of music you listen to and provides you with insights into your listening habits. For details see:

foo_jscript_panel3 ~ JScript Panel 3

Posted by tom2tec on

This component for foobar2000 is based on WSH Panel Mod.

It allows the creation of customisable panels that can be written with JavaScript rather than the C++ required by the foobar2000 SDK.

Under the hood, it uses Windows Script Host. Because of this, JS language support is limited to ECMAScript 5. Nothing newer will ever be supported.

Here are just some of the features provided by the component…

  • Custom drawing of text, external images, lines, rectangles, etc.
  • Use fonts/colours from the main preferences of whichever user interface you are using.
  • Executing main/context menu commands.
  • Ability to create custom buttons/menus.
  • Capture keystrokes/mouse movement/clicks.
  • Callbacks can be used to trigger code based on foobar2000 events.
  • Read/write file tags.
  • Complete manipulation of playlists.
  • Media Library display/sorting/filtering
  • Save settings on a per panel basis. These persist between restarts and are stored inside the layout configuration file for whichever UI your are using. You can also write your own functions to load/save settings from JSON or plain text files.
  • Built in support for making GET / POST requests which return plain text and there is also a method for downloading binary files. If you prefer, you can use the Microsoft.XMLHTTP ActiveX object.
  • There are many built in methods for working with the local filesystem, launching external applications etc. Previous versions / other scripting components rely on ActiveX objects but the need for those is greatly reduced.
  • And much more…
