I just installed foobar so I still have some things I want to tweak. how do I get rid of these fucking borders? I already set their width to 0. also does anyone know where I can get some good looking buttons?
>>63273314
Going for a terminal aesthetic
Also i don't use music bee or anything like that because i'm not a try hard.
>>63273956
that's the ugliest fucking album cover I've ever seen in my life, i don't care how good the music is.
>>63274095
ugly
>using bloated software
kek
>>63274095
Agreed actually.
The music is really good though

Can you pls detail your setup? I'm interested in what you did to Columns UI and how you navigate your library
>>63274231
no because i use a mac.
im not that creative so i just imported a cool theme i found on deviantart. added some visuals at the side but idk how to change the colour of them or even remove them. i dont like them being white, i want em to be purple and black
>>63274639
it took me a while but I followed this config: http://lukaskokoska.deviantart.com/art/Carbon-497326454
look for the files in the comment section
I tweaked the colors around a bit. the rest was pretty straight forward. You can ask in these threads if you cant work it out, i'll detail it then
>>63274705
how did you manage to fuck up that beautiful theme
>>63274705
fucking nice
>>63275211
how do i get it to look like that
Gone for quite a simple set up

Does it look better now?
>>63274095
rip flac
Why is literally everyone using foobar instead of musicbee?
>>63275786
what's better about musicbee?
>>63275819
I don't know, i'm trying to find out what's better about foobar
>>63275839
I just happened to find foobar first and it's what I'm used to. I've configured it to function exactly the way I want it to so I have no reason to try anything else.
Haven't transfered al my music to my hard drive yet
>>63275839
extremely customizable (look at the screenshots ITT)
it has thousands of dedicated features you can easily add like scrobbling to last.fm, iPod compatibility, real time search tools, waveform and spectrum analyzers, etc etc etc
I don't know much about musicbee but if it's just as versatile while virtually taking up no space and being low maintenance than I'd be surprised
>>63274054
Too bad you can't get a green fuzzy version of te album to match
>>63273401
>>63274306
>>63275211
>>63275661
These are cool
>>63275786
Because they can get it exactly how they want it. MusicBee is great, but limited. If you have a specific vision for your music player you'll be able to pull it off with foobar.
>>63277145
not a fan of big album art?
>>63277432
I used to be, but this layout grew on me pretty quickly.
Recently switched from foobar cause Im retarded and fucked up my foobar setup settings and I dont feel like doing a fresh install and figuring out what I fucked up and how to get it how I want it.
Musicbee pretty much has all I want
>>63275819
Its auto-organize feature.
>>63275184
+ classic windows skin
+ great theme

If youre gonna use winamp at least make it look decent

>>63275653
This would be shit if you had low resolution album art.
all of you guys
are okay
>>63278559
>>63278997
I always find high resolution album art. A perfect example is this album. Can't find the cover for the original release in high res, but I managed to find a new release by them which is this album remixed.
https://voodoomuzak.bandcamp.com/releases
So I used that instead.
I recommend you give this a listen. You can find it on RuTracker. The drums are the prominent part here. It reminds me of Don Caballero, except without riffs and the noise rock-y part.
>>63278882
>compared to his shitty winamp
>yeah
>>63279100
thank you for rec anon
it's very interesting sonically
>>63279105
both are shit
I just started using foobar, how can I make it not look like shit?
Like to keep my player off to the side
>>63279192
Looks for skins online (devianart or their subreddit)
Basic, since I have to reorganize everything. It works pretty well in Mint, to my pleasant surprise.
Foobar with Facets.
r8, pls
>>63274306
amazing!
>>63276537
I had a similar layout when I used Winamp. I like it.
Advantages to not using itunes?
>>63279567
Not having to convert FLAC to ALAC
Less bloat
More features depending on what program you go with
how is it
>>63275661
What theme is this?
>>63279371
Why do you only have 1-10 songs per artist?
>>63279622
>sorted by year
Why would you do that ever you disgusting waste of dubs
>>63279661
Not him, but those are albums
compact player masterrace
>>63279663
i'm going through post-rock by year. i switch it back when I'm just listening to albums regularly.
>>63279699
>13 Beatles Albums
>>63279603
Bloat as in what, just unnecessary ui garbage?
Can't think of any features that I would like to have. I mean i just use playlists for my albums and then ctrl f search for individual songs is all i really do with it, so I dunno if there'd be any extra features that'd interest me, especially since i need itunes to put stuff on my iphone, unless other music players can do that, as if i remember right there is other software for that so I don't see why any music player wouldn't be able to, just have no idea if any do
>>63279712

Stretched artwork doesn't work at all
>>63279777

>>63279777

>>63279776
iTunes runs like shit on Windows and installs a bunch of other background services. That's the kind of bloat I meant.
But you mentioned you have an iPhone to sync so I would stick with iTunes because of that, I can't think of any good music players that have iOS device syncing.
>>63279777
check'd.
>>63279885
Thank you friend
>>63279855
I mean I haven't noticed anything running like shit, but I can believe that that's the case.
I mean not like itunes doesn't work for what I use it for, was just curious about other stuff since i've never played around with them. Thanks for answering
>>63279901
You have no reason to switch if you're not dissatisfied. It doesn't sound like your needs aren't being met so I wouldn't worry about it. No problem.
>>63273314
Use AHK no border script, and set your title bar to hidden in the options.
>>63279661
Albums, not songs.
>>63279760
Explain.
>>63279961
Why
>>63277730
how'd you get the visualizer to be on the bottom bar?
Clementine since foobar has no linux client
what ever
>>63279940
Another version
>>63279983
I just didn't get the >13 Beatles Albums
>>63280038
Fonts too big.
>>63280106
I love this what did you do with it?
>>63274705
>>63275211
Do either of you know how to display the bitrate next to the other album info (year, songs, length)?
>>63274054
then just use ncmpcpp
>>63280247
well, my eyes have myopia.. so i have to get big shit to be confy and my screen is big... so thats it. :/
>>63280255
I downloaded a foobar2000 skin, set the transparency so it meshed with my desktop background and voila. A lot more lazy than I wanna admit, but the skin is called retrofoob_mod.
>>63280032
Clementine would actually be a fine music player if its library scan algorithm wasn't complete shit.
>>63280032
you too good for ncmpcpp
If you use anything other than Foobar and don't use just the base software, then you should kill yourself
>>63281051
>I don't know how to use foobar but I really want to be elitist

>I know he is right
Musicbee is best

>>63281630
>Someone is butt mad cause I did it specifically for the screen shot
Your insecurity is showing
ahoy
Musicbee is fucking impeccable.
I'd let whoever coded it fuck me.
Here to show off my new setup
>>63282098
actual player tho
>>63282098
thanks for reminding me to set up my second monitor, also I think I have that exact same dell monitor laying around somewhere.
>>63282176
>electronic
really dude?
I'm slowly downloading all my music over to start using musicbee but until then it's the spotify life for me.
>>63282783
Which isn't by any means a bad thing.
I'd use it if it was available here
>>63278826
>>63276537
As someone who recently switched from Winamp those both look pretty terrible in how cluttered they are
>>63273314
nice album
>>63274306
>>63275211
>>63279243
>>63281704
>>63282176

>>63279622
great album, faggot
>>63281478
can you rec me russian stuff?
Is there an easiest way to shuffle albums in foobar than going to Playback/Order/Shuffle(albums) ???
Anyone else having trouble with lyricsplugin not showing lyrics?
>>63283279
I'm not Russian, nor do I have many Russian albums beyond classical; the genre tags are just from rutracker and I'm too lazy to change them.
>>63283279
How did you manage to set your player up like that?
>>63284677
it's a skin, musikarte.
