How can I (automatically) move to the currently playing track in the playlist?[edit]

By default, double-clicking the status bar will highlight the currently playing track. To make it automatic, select Playback > Cursor follows playback.

preference 设置：    http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Preferences (注意右边的 Navigate 栏）

1.1之后foobar2000内置了conveter功能：http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Converter

shell integration: Sets "enqueue in foobar2000" as the default (double-click) action, rather than "play in foobar2000"

How can I fill in tags based on file names or directory structure?[edit]

Right click on the file(s) in the playlist → open the Properties dialog → choose "Automatically Fill Values" from its "Tools" menu. For more details, see the Automatically Fill Values page.

How can I make a playlist containing files recently added to the media library?[edit]

One of the information which the official playback statistics component (foo_playcount) collects is the time a file was added to the Media Library. This data is accessible by the %added% field, so you can search by a query such as %added% DURING LAST 2 WEEKS in Facets, Album List, or Media Library Search.

CUI: Column UI

Playlist switcher

Displays your playlists, with the active playlist selected.

• Left click on a playlist
  Switches to that playlist.

• Right click on a playlist
  Brings up the context menu containing actions for that playlist, and all of the tracks in that playlist.

• Middle or double clicking or left button dragging
  Performs various tasks depending on your settings. See configuration section for more details.

• Dropping files on a playlist with left button
  Switches to that playlist, and adds the tracks to that playlist.

• Dropping files on an empty area with left button
  Sends files to a new playlist.

• Dropping files with right button
  Shows context menu allowing you to send the items to the playlist under the mouse, or to a new playlist.
  The colours of this panel can also be adjusted in preferences, as many other settings covered in the preferences section of this document.

用Notepad++高亮foobar的script：http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=7191&st=0 （22楼by:ARiel G)

paste into %appdata%\notepad++\UserDefineLang.xml or UserDefineLang.xml whereever you installed np++(没有就新建一个，我是照第一种方法做的，然后就能在语言菜单栏中选foobar2000）

按文件夹分类音乐列表：

In foobar2000 go to:
Library... Cofigure... Preferences... Columns UI... Playlist View
in the tab Grouping change the original script (which is this)
$if2(%album artist%,<no artist>)[ / %album%]
CHANGE IT FOR THIS
$directory(%path%)
And this will group together all the mp3 coming from a particular folder, even if they belong to different albums and have different tags...

默认：$if2(%artist%,<no artist>)[ / %album%]

anlternative stripe (交错条纹）

$ifequal($mod(%playlist_number%,2),1,
$set_style(back,7adfa9,7adfa9),
$set_style(back,cedc00,cedc00)
)

//This is the default script for the title of the main window during playback.

[%album artist% - ][%album% - ]%title%[ '//' %track artist%] $div(%_filesize%,1048576).$num($div($mul($mod(%_filesize%,1048576),100),1048576),2) MB

关于%_is_group%：http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=73739

**And you can also add $tab() to the end of grouping code to remove that horizontal line.

You will need foo_playcount then Library/Playback Statistics/Show recently added will create an autoplaylist for you.

$if(%_themed%,,$if($and(%isplaying%,$not(%_is_group%)),

$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),ff0000,20),25))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$offset_colour($calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),ff0000,20),25))
,

$ifequal($mod($if2(%_display_index%,%list_index%),2),0,
$puts(back,$offset_colour(%_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_back%),12))
$puts(back-selected,%_selected_back%)
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,%_selected_back_no_focus%)
,
$puts(back-selected,$offset_colour(%_selected_back%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back%),7))
$puts(back-selected-no-focus,$offset_colour(%_selected_back_no_focus%,$calculate_blend_target(%_selected_back_no_focus%),7))
$puts(back,%_back%)
)

)
$set_style(back,$get(back),$get(back-selected),$get(back-selected-no-focus)))

在Changelog中有一部分

//产生 alternate strips 效果，同时为group指定颜色
$if(%_is_group%,$set_style(back,$rgb(199,183,132)
$set_style(text,$rgb(83,42,69))),
$ifequal($mod(%playlist_number%,2),1,
$set_style(back,$rgb(210,210,210),$rgb(100,180,200))
$set_style(text,0,FFFFFF),
$set_style(back,$rgb(230,230,230),$rgb(100,180,200))
$set_style(text,0,FFFFFF)
))

//正在播放的栏用绿色显示
$if(%isplaying%,
$set_style(back,$rgb(61,175,44),$rgb(0,173,105))
$set_style(text,0,0))))

把字段直接赋给变量，那么即使初段为空，变量也不会为空（jense)

如: $puts(temp,%artist%)$if($get(temp),yes,no)    → yes （即使%artist%为空）

但可以这样：$puts(temp,[%artist%])$if($get(temp),yes,no)    → no

title formatiing 默认不理睬回车，要输出可以用：$crlf() 或 $char(10)

to put several elements at the same place, you have to add Tab Stacks (Enable layout editing mode, then right-click on the UI element and "Add splitter"/"Add panel").

歌词可完全由WSH构建，如Jensen的Shutter版

%queue_index%  queue的优先级高于列表，在ELPlaylist中可在behaviour栏下设置中键单击音轨目加入queue，所有的queue播放完后就按播放列表播放当前歌曲的下一首。

打开 Preferences →Advanced →Display →Properties Dialog →Standard Fields，在后面加入 “Add Rating=RATING;”，现在打开属性窗口，就会发现里面出现了Rating属性，可直接在其中输入数值1-5.

Playback Statistics插件，可用来评分，并且由于是peter自己开发的，可直接为它设置快捷键，如alt+1设为评1星，alt+2设为评2星……但有一点这个信息不会写入歌曲，但可喜的是能在 Preferences →Advanced →Tools →Playback Statistics中设置立即写入信息，于是现在评分就方便极了，并且同时为多个歌曲评分。

Text Tools, 非常棒的工具，能通过Title Formating语句复制歌曲信息到Clipboard，支持多个文件。

Usage: See Preferences / Tools / Text Tools；  context menu / Utils / Text Tools.

Playback Statistics 插件能在Properties中写入数据，不知道这是怎么做到的，因为我无法手动修改这部分的数据，也不知道这样有什么好处，因为在直接在系统中查看属性还是以Metadata中的Rating字段为主，也就是如果在那里将Rating改为4，这首歌在Wmp中的评级就是4，即使在Propertie栏中它还为5星。

有一点要特别注意：那就是$metadata(Rating)和%Rating%的区别，前者不用说是读取Metadata中的信息，后者好像是以Properties中的信息为主，因为如果在ELplaylist的sort方法中若以%rating%排序，它是会读取Properties中的信息的，而不理会Metadata中数据，所以要千万不要用%Rating%排序，而使用$metadata(data)，$sub(5,$meta(Rating))--让评分最高排在最上面

还有一点：在Title Format搜索歌曲时，也不要使用%Rating%,因为这样也是按Properties中信息，而直接用Rating则是metadata数据优先，要想知道哪些歌曲只有Metadata评级而没有Properties评级，可以使用 Rating PRESENT AND %Rating% MISSING 搜索
