Ecoute was designed in order to be easy to use in any circumstances. We focused on artworks for the main view so you can make your choice more easily. Any item handles a long-press action and brings cool options to facilitate your navigation. Quickly jump on the now playing artist or album and select an other song you wish to listen next. We also rebuilt the standard iOS navigation system from the ground up so you can quickly select / go back while a transition occurs. Moreover, as Ecoute doesn’t need any pull-to-refresh, we decided to use the same principle for the search. Just pull down the current list and the search bar will appear in the coolest way ever.
Wax is a program for cataloging and playing a collection of music recordings. Wax is able to rip CDs and import downloads so that you can create a sound archive complete with metadata.
Wax is fundamentally different from existing music managers in two important ways. First, the fundamental unit for recordings is a “work”, not a track. A work is usually a collection of tracks. It can encapsulate whatever tracks you choose. In pop music, a work can be an album. For symphonic music, a work can be a single symphony, even when the tracks come from a CD with more than one symphony. For operas, a work can be a single opera even when the tracks come from multiple CDs. Music collectors usually think in terms of works, so a music manager that supports the concept makes operation more natural.
The other distinguishing characteristic of Wax is that genres are fundamental to the organization of a collection rather than a mere attribute of a track. Wax recognizes that the ideal way to catalog works varies by genre. For example, symphonic works can be cataloged by composer, work, conductor whereas shows can be cataloged by show, composer, lyricist. By organizing collections around genres, Wax supports an operation sequence that is natural for music lovers: first select the genre, then the work, and finally the tracks.
A fully free and self-contained modular synthesizer based on the popular VCV Rack. Available in AudioUnit/CLAP/LV2/VST2/VST3 plugin formats and as a standalone app for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, Windows and the Web.

After downloading the latest version of the encoder pack, launch the installer and confirm it’s found the correct foobar2000 installation.
The next step is to deselect any encoders you don’t need.
And then click Install
Installing Additional Encoders
You may also need to install additional encoders; these are installed as components. For instance, foo_midi.fb2k allows foobar to play midi files. The component’s download page is here:
This Foobar2000 component collects and maintains enhanced statistics for played songs; primarily it records the timestamp of every play of a song, and not just the first and last. It will also query last.fm and record play times of every scrobble for a song.
foo_enhanced_playcount provides some additional functionality that foo_playcount does not, but is missing some functionality that foo_playcount has. They work well together, and foo_playcount should NOT be uninstalled when foo_enhanced_playcount is installed.
This component should be installed with foo_playcount and the same time foobar2000 is installed so playback statistics are maintained from the beginning.
%played_times_raw% – raw foobar timestamps: [129885911170000000, 129996456470000000, 131594314930000000] – There’s probably no reason to ever use this.
%lastfm_played_times% – Date formatted list of scrobbles: ["2012-08-04 15:58:37", "2012-12-10 14:40:46", "2018-01-02 23:38:13"]
%lastfm_play_count% – Count of last.fm plays, a la %play_count%: 5
%lastfm_added% – Single date: “2012-08-04 15:58:37“
%lastfm_first_played% – Always exactly the same as %lastfm_added%. Use whichever one makes most sense logically
%lastfm_last_played% – Single date: “2018-04-04 15:58:37“
%added_enhanced% – Returns the earliest of %added% (from foo_playcount) or %lastfm_added%. Single date: “2023-02-04 15:16:17“
%first_played_enhanced% – Returns the earliest of %first_played% (from foo_playcount) or %lastfm_added%. Single date: “2023-02-04 15:16:17“
%last_played_enhanced% – Returns the earliest of %last_played% (from foo_playcount) or %lastfm_last_played%. Single date: “2023-02-04 15:16:17“
These fields can be exposed via Title Formatting or used in scripts. This component does generate extra data per song played and may not be suitable for installations with limited storage.
One of the reasons for Foobar2000’s versatility is extensibility. Its capabilities can be greatly extended by adding components.
For example, it’s good to keep track of information right from the start. An important first addition is playback statistics which are generated and maintained by foo_playcount.fb2k-component. Also consider installing foo_enhanced_playcount.
To add Playback Statistics to foobar2000, follow these steps:
Click the “Download” button to save a local copy of playcount.fb2k-component.
Install The Component:
Go to File > Preferences, or press Ctrl + P.
In Preferences, go to Installed components on the left-hand side.
Click the Install button at the bottom of the section.
Navigate to and select the foo_playcount.fb2k-component file, then click Open and then Apply.
After installation is complete, foobar2000 will prompt you to restart.
Verify Installation:
Once foobar2000 restarts, you should check File > Preferences > Components to confirm the component is now installed and active.
It’s also possible to install a Foobar2000 component by either dragging and then dropping a component on the component pane or double clicking a component if the file association is working.
The Get Updates button will download and update all the installed components but not Fobar2000 itself, that must be done via the Help Menu. It’s good to update the components occasionally.
The Copy Report button copies a list of installed components to the clipboard.
If the component has a visual element, you’ll also need to add the component to the DUI (Default User Interface) now. Toggle View\Layout\Enable Layout Editing Mode and then add a new panel or tab. Right click the new panel or tab area and select “Add New UI Element …“, then select the new component from the list. You may need to adjust borders to fit, then Exit layout mode.
The Playback Statistics Component keeps track of the following data:
Time/date first played
Time/date last played
Playback count
Time/date added to the Media Library
Rating
The Playback Statistics Component also allows playback statistics to be backed up or easily transferred to other Foobar2000 instances.
‘You can export playback statistics to an XML file and import them later, through Library => Playback Statistics menu commands, or through context menu on specific tracks. This can be used to easily transfer playback statistics between different foobar2000 installations or profiles.’ ~ XML Backup Functionality
foobar2000 version 1.6 required for compatibility with this component
