Is there any plan to add visualizations like WMP or Winamp?
It sure would look good if there is~
(If there already is, correct me)

yeah, f2k it's more about functionality and stability than fancy stuff, i don't think there's any support to these kind of things and personally i hope there never is, cuz do you want to listen to a song or watch graphics? if you want to make a party or something like that there sure are specialized software to do that

Well, I dont need any vis. Foobar lies in tray most of the time when it plays musik.
It's all about hearing, not looking.

Visualisation should be quite easy to implement - one have to use initquit service to create window and dsp service to process samples and display things.

The only tricky part can be dealing with dsp and output plugin latency - vis plugin would have to buffer its results and show them with proper delay to stay in sync with music. I don't know if there're appropriate functions in SDK allowing to fetch latency, but probably there are some (Status display shows latency, for example).

But again: at the moment noone skilled enough to write plugin seems to be interested in visualisation, although some precise peak level meter with clipping detection, or some frequency analizer would be nice

copy this code to
Foobar 2000 > Preferences > Display Title Formatting > Status Bar
and you will have visualisation

Code: [Select]
$select($add($mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,4),1),'-','\','|','/')
[span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']01100110 01101111 01101111 01100010 01100001 01110010 00110010 00110000 00110000 00110000[/span]

This has already been discussed on IRC, there are no such functions.

Status display is part of the core application.

I bet it would be interesting to make a foobar-style visualization.... like stacks of Underscores going up and down to re-create a bar spectrum....lol

I downloaded and use Foobar because it played music well, and didnt eat up resources looking pretty- something a music player shouldnt do.

Visual plugins authors are doomed then  unless Peter decides to publish appropriate methods.

Well, eventually this delay would have to be user-configurable, with suggestion that approx. values could be taken from foobar's status display...

Which, most likely, does not update when the status display panel is not open.

I mean - only as a lookup source for user, who then enters them in some vis-plugin configuration  I know that way visualisation would run out of sync sooner or later, but can't think of any good solution without further support from SDK.
