You can extend Foobar2000 functionality by increasing the information the player maintains. Installing the foo_playcount component allows Foobar to both keep track of additional data, and adds the following user available fields:

• Date and time a track was first played ~ %first_played%
• Date and time a track was last played ~ %last_played%
• The number of times a track has been played ~ %play_count%
• Date and time a track was first added to the Media Library ~ %added%
• Song rating ~ %rating%

Song Rating Playlist Display

The songs rating can now be displayed in a playlist viewer in two ways:

• On a 1 to 5 scale with %rating%
• Displayed as up to five stars, “★★★”, with %rating_stars%
• Displayed as five stars, “★★★☆☆”, with %rating_stars_fixed%

Note: This component should be installed at the same time as Foobar2000, if your goal is to have a complete play count history.

foo_playcount_2003

This component uses the same database backend that foo_playcount utilises for logging plays but has many more advanced features and fewer limitations.

• Playcounts and dates can edited for any context menu selection.
• Data can be imported from file tags or fields provided by other components.
• Ratings up to 10 are supported.
• You can customise how long you have to listen before a play count is incremented.
• The current time is available via title formatting as a full date time string or Unix timestamp.
• First played, last played and added are all available as Unix timestamps.
• How records are bound to tracks can be configured in the Advanced Preferences.
