Jump to file, view playback queue, ID3 tag priority

I'm still pretty new to foobar but I'm missing some features I got used to in Winamp. Most likely the features are there I'm just not finding them :>

1.) Jump to file. In Winamp it was quite simple to jump to a certain file (in your playlist) by pressing J. You then could either play the track at once or enqueue it to be played as the next track. Is there something like this in foobar?

2.) Enqueue file. 2 things. First I'm missing any visual feedback which tracks are currently enqueued. In Winamp the enqueued files were marked with an [1], [2] or whatever position they had in the queue list plus the marked files were highlighted. Second: I'm used to enqueue my files with ALT + left click (there are multiple ways to do this in Winamp, I like this the most) - any chance to do the same in foobar? I encountered a plugin (playlist viewer or something like that) but it didn't work at all.

3.) It seems that ID3v2 tags are ignored if ID3v1 are also available. That's pretty annoying for the genre tag in combination with the album list (sort by genre). Example: I've tagged GYBE as Post-Rock. Unfortunately that's not available in ID3v1, so I used 'Progressive Rock'. I don't want to recheck and retag my MP3 collection and it doesn't matter that my MP3s have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags (which is unnecessary I guess) But is there a way to force foobar to prefer v2 over v1?

thanks

Before I give you answers, I just want to state that the following is just how I personally do what you have requested. There may be other methods that don't require any aditional components, but if there are, I am not aware of them. With that said, here are some answers for you:

1. If you install the AMIP wrapper (found here: http://pelit.koillismaa.fi/plugins/show.php?id=40) you can press Ctrl+J to get the functionality you want.

2. Download foo_pqview.dll (found here: http://foosion.foobar2000.org/components/?id=pqview). It comes with a Queue function that allows you to have a playlist with your queue'd items that you can modify.

3. I am not to sure about this question. I don't want to give you any incorrect information, so I'd wait until someone else is able to answer this.

I hope this helps .

2.) Enqueue file.


From the Foobar2000 Wiki's FAQ:

How do i have a Winamp / MediaMonkey style "now playing" playlist?

Unlike winamp (and mediamonkey), there is no special "now playing" playlist in foobar; the foobar way of doing things is to play playlists. That said, you can use the playback queue to get a similar functionality. Instead of clicking "play", use the "add to playback queue" command. You can use foo_uie_queuemanager component to display a panel that displays queued songs.


That being said,

Possible SOLUTIONS
a. With cwb_hooks
0. Install foo_cwb_hooks.
1. Change the code for "title" column from something like %title% to
[%cwb_queueindex%] %title%

b. Displaying queue in a panel
(do as in the wiki)

c. Designating a playlist as your "queue playlist"
Get Playback Queue Viewer

Dro's "Jump to file" plugin also contains a search window that allows you to find the files you like to enqueue.
In foobar you have several posiibilities: the built_in playlist search and medialibrary. Or test foosions database search wich allows you to assign the doubleclick to "add to playback queue".

For Jump To File I've mapped the plain F key to produce the normal search window, which also scrolls the playlist.

FB prudently warns that a plain key without Ctrl or Shift or Alt might interfere with actually being able to type that character, but I've not noticed any malfunctions of the sort.
