foo_tfsandbox ~ Foobar2000 Title Formatting

Posted by tom2tec on

This component provides an editor for title formatting code [mainly targeted at title formatting beginners]. The editor includes syntax highlighting, a preview of the selected fragment of the code and a view of the code structure. The idea behind the component is to allow users to explore title formatting scripts by exposing aspects which are normally hidden on the user interface of foobar2000 and its components.

foo_random_pools ~ Random Autoplaylists

Posted by tom2tec on

Another type of Foobar2000’s playlists are randomly generated autoplaylists where songs, or groups of songs, are selected randomly from a pool of the same. By predefining a subset of a media library, “pools” of refined selections can be created and then drawn from.

foo_random_pools is a foobar2000 component for creating random playlist entries selected and grouped by various pool definitions.

www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_random_pools

Let’s say you want a playlist of random blues albums from your library.

  • First you’ll need to install the foo_random_pools component.
  • After you’ve installed foo_random_pools, you’ll need to set up a pool in the File > Preferences > Tools > Random pools sub-menu.File - Preferences - Tools - Random pools
  • You’ll need to select the “Add …” button which brings up the Random pool criteria form.Preferences - Random Pools - Random Pool - blankFor example to make a pool of blues albums use the following criteria:
    Name: Album – All Blues
    Group: %album artist% – %date% – %album%
    Determine probability for picking groups …: Unchecked
    Number of groups to add: 1
    Filter: (NOT %album artist% IS “Various Artists”) AND (%genre% HAS Blues)
    Filter with the content of the target playlist: Unchecked
    Number of tracks to add: 0
    Number of minutes to add: 0
    Number of MBs to add: 0
    Limit after sorting: Unchecked
    Sort: %path%
    Sort / limit each group: Checked
    Priority: 10Preferences - Random Pools - Edit
  • Now you have to link pools to a playlist by specifying a name in the Autoadd section’s Playlist patterns field of the Random pools preferences menu.File - Preferences - Tools - Random pools - Autoadd - Random Blues Album
  • Create a new playlist, File>New Playlist Ctrl+N, and name it “Random Blues Album” and then select and display it.
  • To add a random blues album to the playlist, select File > Random pools > Album – All Blues. Each time it’s selected, another random blues album will be added to the playlist.

foo_dsp_delta ~ Foobar2000 Noise Sharpening

Posted by tom2tec on

A digital signal processor that makes dull songs sound sharper, as in brighter.

Strictly speaking, nobody really needs this DSP. It’s just that some people like the effect. If you want to compensate deficiencies in your playback equipment or listening environment, the convolver or the equalizer are more appropriate tools. ~ HA post

There are four interrelated DSPs enclosed, only use the last one, Noise Sharpening.

Noise sharpening can/should be used alone. ~ HA post

foo_dsp_xover ~ Foobar2000 Digital Crossover

Posted by tom2tec on

foo_dsp_xover is a software digital crossover implementation that I have been working on for a while in my spare time as a hobby. It is a Foobar2000 audio player plugin that implements this digital crossover to achieve active multi-amplification.

This software needs to run on a WinXP PC equipped with a multi-channel sound card (e.g. 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound card) feeding the various voices of a multi-amplifier and loudspeaker active configuration set-up.
