A small update.
Album view on NP screen finally works, but no rating yet. I’m not sure if writing a value into ‘rating’ field would be enough, especially when the file is locked/read-only. That would be great if it is saved in the metadb and not in file tags.
Sorting is worked almost as expected. Still cannot get numbers to follow latin letters, so there’s no jump letters in this release. Couldn’t find any pre-defined locale which sorts things in that way. Maybe need to add some hacks…
Anyway, grab it to find new bugs

Here’s a small update for all of you, people.
Now you can browse and play your library music. Selected albums or search results are now loaded into auto-playlist on the foobar’s side.
Also compression of data was added. Almost all output traffic is gzipped, so loading large numbers of tracks should be faster now. Album art is not compressed, but it is now resized as requested by iPhone app.
Known bugs:
- Currently playing track list (those you ‘flip’ on the NP screen to set ratings) is not working.
- No shortcut letters in the lists. Seems Remote supports only latin letters, making anything else to be ‘#’. That require me to change sort order (latin letters first, numbers and all other letters next), and it is not so cool. Need to think on how to override that behavior.
- Any library changes are reflected only after foobar restart. That should be fixed soon.
As it is usable somehow, download link is posted to the product page, so grap it there.

Ok, guys. I’ve promised library support until the end of January, so here’s the first beta to test.
As I’ve said, the most important feature is library. You can search and browse artists, albums, tracks, genres and composers, also there’s album artwork support in the albums list (a bit buggy). But you still cannot create playlists from sibrary selection, so all this seems kinda useless 
The main purpose of this release is you to test library parser speed. I haven’t tested it on a very large library (10k+), so need some feedback from large library owners about possible performance issues. Please run foobar, open console and find something like:
TouchRemote: items added to library: 1933
start
finished in: 0:00.063
and post your results in this topic.
Plugin is built with a new SDK, so it will run only on foobar2k 1.0 or later.
Here’s a download link for you: foo_touchremote 0.1.0.0.

Some info for those of you guys who likes and uses my foobar plugins.
1. foo_w7shell updated to version 0.2.9.1. Settings page is not legacy anymore, now it uses new apply/cancel features.
2. foo_touchremote won’t be published for some time. I have no wifi at the moment (my home router is partially broken), so unable to test the plugin. Anyway, I’m working on the library support and still planning to post an update until the end of January.
Also I’m going to use 1.0 SDK for foo_touchremote, but it would break compatibility with older foobar versions. So I’d like to ask if you really need that 0.9.x support? If you don’t, 0.9.x support will be dropped, so vote in the comments!

Hello people!
Many of you have probably updated to foobar 1.0 and noticed artwork configuration available. This is really cool, but API is a little different from the old one, so foo_w7shell couldn’t use benefits of new album art extractor.
I have also updated to the latest foobar version, so made a fix for the plugin and named it 0.2.9. You could get it at the download page, as usual.
It is built with the new SDK and works only on foobar 1.0 (or later). Those of you who is still on 0.9.x branch should use previous versions of the plugin.

First public build. No library support, no search, possibly buggy

iTunes has a brilliant feature to browse local library and control playback using iPhone and WiFi. The only thing is that I like foobar, not iTunes. The question is why not to use a free iPhone client to control it as well?..
So I’m starting a foo_touchremote project to make love between foobar and iPhone running Remote. Stay tuned!

Just find three differences

You wanted Aero Peek and Flip3D? Well, you’ve got it.
Personally I think these features are useless for foobar. And a bit buggy:
- Image of the same size as thumbnail looks ugly in Flip3D (I have no idea why MS decided to show thumbnail instead of live preview there).
- Window must to be shown at least once to make Aero Peek working. It’s a common issue for any app.
- Too frequent painting of a live preview image drains a lot of CPU, so it is made not so “live” as it should.
- When window is maximized, there are some glitches with its frame size in Peek mode.
Blame MS for all that stuff
P.S. I’m still on RC, so someone should test it on RTM. I wanna to know if something changed.

This is almost a complete code rewrite.
It should have better performance and no stupid glitches (I hope) of previous version.
Go to product page to read more.
Quick download: foo_cuefilter 0.1.7.
