General - (fb2k) / Re: Album Information Genre drop down list
Last post by Case -
You could test if this approach was easier: open 'Library' -> 'Album List', then at the bottom select 'by Genre' from the View dropdown list.
Now right click on the 'All Music' entry at the top and select 'Properties'.
Double click on the 'Genre' field to start editing the genre of all tracks. The genres are listed alphabetically, tracks without genre will be listed first.
Scroll down the list and when you find a genre you want to remove, select all lines with that genre and just hit Delete key on keyboard. You can select multiple lines either by drawing a rectangle on the mouse or by clicking the first track, hold Shift, then click the last track.
You can of course edit the track genres to what they should be while you are here. But this edit mode is not the fastest for that.

Once cleanup is done, hit OK to return to Properties dialog. Now if you hit OK or Apply the files will get altered with the new genre information and removed entries should no longer haunt in autocomplete list.

Or alternatively, while you are on the Album List, you can pick the genres you want to nuke or edit directly from the Album List tree view. Just right click on the entry, select 'Properties', and you can do to genre what you want.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Foobar Link Phone app
Last post by jctyler -
Thanks Veloplex. I've been able to use it with the phone remote for about two months, but there's something wrong with the screen constantly refreshing on phone when I'm streaming radio stations. Its constantly refreshing after I save a known radio station URL after pasting it in under 'add location' that I save under an *.fpl playlist. Is there a solution to this? Also some radio stations appear as question marks while others show the name. Is this an issue with the remote or something else?

Scientific Discussion / Re: AudioWorklet-based filter bank spectrum analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -
Updates to this spectrum analyzer project:
  • NEW: Smoothing modes for main spectrum (to complete the averaging domains for FIFO, exponential and infinite average spectrum), which is described below:
    • Linear (peak): Simple linear peak decay (actually exponential when viewed in linear and even nth root amplitude scaling) and toggling between peak and average mode has no effect on it
    • Exponential (linear): Uses the same formula for smoothing the AnalyserNode.getByteFrequencyData() output
    • RMS (squared): Same as before but emphasizes peaks as it is calculated in squared domain
    • Geometric (logarithmic): Exponential smoothing calculated in logarithmic amplitude (dB) scale
  • NEW: Alternate color scheme, which changes the color gradient (from turquoise to orange on fb2k-style color gradient and also the rainbow gradient on "alternate color" mode) and also light mode colors (reducing the contrast a little bit) when not using color gradient
  • FIX: The "main" spectrum sometimes disappears when "Freeze analyzer" is pressed while "anti-flicker" mode is enabled

BTW, since all of time-domain filter bank algorithms I've implemented here can be made parallel rather easily (and so the sample-accurate time smoothing and averaging), so the use of AVX2 instruction set (only in case of re-implementing these in C++ for foobar2000 visualization components and/or even VST plugins) and/or even multithreading (Web Workers can do that but I haven't used that to speed up this web-based analyzer) should allow such analyzers to run at reasonable framerate while having a lot of bands (e.g. 1920 bands)

Scientific Discussion / Re: AudioWorklet-based multichannel peakmeter visualization
Last post by TF3RDL -
I have updated this project to complete this interactive mockup of Loudness Peakmeter 2.0.0.0/2.x.x.x foobar2000 component in terms of averaging and peak decay:
  • NEW: Smoothing modes for main peakmeter and correlogram, which is described below:
    • Linear (peak): Simple linear peak decay (actually exponential when viewed in linear and even nth root amplitude scaling) and toggling between peak and average mode has no effect on it
    • Exponential (linear): Exponential averaging
    • RMS (squared): Same as before but emphasizes peaks as it is calculated in squared domain
    • Geometric (logarithmic): Exponential smoothing calculated in logarithmic amplitude (dB) scale
  • NEW: Alternating color mode for peakmeter where Mid/Side part has different color than the main Left/Right one only in case of displaying both L/R and M/S simultaneously, which can look like this:
    X
  • FIX: The main peakmeter and phase correlation/stereo balance bar sometimes disappear when "Freeze analyzer" is enabled while "anti-flicker" mode is enabled

foobar2000 mobile / Foobar2000 mobile to play external USB files on Android phone
Last post by travellinmike -
Hi, new member and didn't see anything related to my question after a half dozen or so searches. 

Can the Foobar2000 Mobile app read a dual type USB flash drive (normal USB and USB-C) and play the files on an Android phone?  The thumb drive would be connected to the phone via the USB-C charging port.
I currently have a regular flash drive (normal full size USB) with hours of MP3, MP4, WAV, FLAC files that I can easily plug into my TV's USB port and use it as an "input source".  Before I buy a dual type memory and copy the files to it (for similar USB file sourcing with my phone) I'd like to know...  Will Foobar2000 Mobile app be able to read/play the usb connected files or do files need to be physically loaded onto the phone?  Secondly... Will my folder hierarchy be navigable (mostly 3 and a few 4 folder levels deep) or will everything need to be at the root level?  Obviously all at the root is not preferred and I would use several smaller thumb drives instead to avoid endless scrolling to find the song I want. 

thanks for any advice so I can avoid skipping YouTube ads between every song.
