Have you got a lot of lossless music? As you know, it often consists of a single audio file (flac, ape, wv, etc.) and a CUE sheet with track markup.
If you add a single cue file, it is loaded ok. But what happens if you add a whole folder (or several folders) at a time?.. Right, you get a mess of both whole albums and their single tracks in the playlist. So you typically should clean up your playlist manually.
Another situation: sometimes there are two cue sheets for single album. One refers to compressed album file (like flac) and could be embedded into container, the other one refers to uncompressed wav file that even doesn’t exist anymore. Pre-0.9 releases of foobar2000 just ignored such invalid cue sheets, but 0.9 branch does add them to playlist creating many unplayable duplicate tracks and a lot of headache.
CUE playlist filter (foo_cuefilter) is a plugin to address both of these issues. When adding a bunch of files, it searches for those ones that are referenced or reference to non-existent targets and excludes them.
Typically you don’t need to change any settings – defaults are ok for almost everyone. But it is possible to adjust some filtering options on Advanced (Tools/CUE Playlist Filter) page.
Download foo_cuefilter 0.1.7.

Windows 7 shell integration addon (foo_w7shell) is a plugin to utilize brand new interface features like custom preview thumbnails, flyout toolbars and others.
You’d just unpack the plugin to your components directory. It works “out of the box” and adds nice and user-friendly interface features to your favorite player.
If you want, you can disable progress indicator, hide “stop” button from toolbar or perform some other tweaks via settings page. But you wouldn’t find any system settings – it’s as simple as your iPod.
Features:
- Album art in thumbnail
- Play/pause/stop/next track/previous track buttons in thumbnail
- Progress indicator
- Customizable jump lists
- Overlay icon to display play/pause state
Download foo_w7shell 0.2.9.1.
