Last post by Terence -I use this: $info(bitspersample)
%__bitspersample% seems to work too.
For example it displays 16 for flac files with 16 bits per sample, but it doesn't display anything for mp3 or aac files (%__bitspersample% returns question marks for mp3 and aac files).
There is more information in the Title Formatting Reference.

Last post by mycroft -But I used mpv without any special setup, and first time there was not enough buffering but next time it managed to buffer something more. So as Gus. pointed out its all about buffer length (from network point of view not DAC one).

General - (fb2k) / How to Add a Bit Depth Column in Foobar2000 Media Library View
Last post by DCS -I’m trying to set up my Foobar2000 Media Library to show the bit depth (e.g., 16-bit, 24-bit) of my audio files alongside the usual columns like title, artist, and sample rate.
I’ve tried adding %bitdepth% as a custom column, but it doesn’t seem to display anything—the column shows up, but it’s empty for all tracks, including FLACs that I know are 24-bit.
Am I missing the correct metadata field or syntax?
Is there a working title formatting string or component that reliably shows bit depth?
I’ve already checked:
- %bitdepth%
- %__bitdepth%
- %bitspersecond%
- %samplerate% (this works for sample rate, but not bit depth)
Would really appreciate a working example or advice from anyone who has successfully added this column.
Thanks in advance!

foobar2000 for Mac / Re: foobar2000 for Mac: bugs
Last post by scannt -- if I try to map an action to a key in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu in Preferences, the popup dialog shows "Cannot map this combo" (seems to happens for any key combination or single key)... as this dialog cannot be dismissed without mapping a key, the only option is to kill the program (there's no valid key to map)
I'm on Apple M2 Pro and current macOS Sequoia version 15.5.

Last post by Piotr Fusik -Building seems easy, but how to test? I thought I could test on my M1 Mac with Wine. Unfortunately, the foobar2000 installer for ARM says "Windows 11 or later Windows version is required to run foobar2000 (ARM64EC)". How does it check the Windows version?
