VLC for Mac was Re: foobar
Hi all Does anyone know of alternatives to VLC for the Mac? At the moment, if I open a folder containing thousands of files it gets busy for a long time. Using 2.2.1. I'm pretty sure an earlier version of VLC didn't do that. Any recommendations greatly appreciated. Thanks!

re foobar for james
Hi james, as i said in one of my earlier messages, when i installed foobar on my new computer, which was about three months ago, i went to the bottom of the screen with the numpad. i then arrowed up one line. there was something there, that when i did a left click brought the left and right arrows alive. when one has clicked on this, the line changes, and it becomes the line where the information for the file is shown. i used to have a note about foobar saying what this precise thing on which to click. but, i have unfortunately lost that note. however, i recognised it when i was setting up foobar2000 again. listers, it doesn't matter how you get the hotkeys aliv, as long as you do. so, follow james's instructions is good enough if you can't follow what i have said. brian.
re foobar hotkeys
Hi, i only use two hotkeys in foobar, as i only use it as a player. to start at the beginning of a file, the hotkey is letter c. the pause is letter x. i have forgotten precisely what the position is, but when you first bring up foobar, and got to the bottome of the screen, if you come up one movement with the numbpad if you are using wineyes, you will find somewhere to do a lift click, if you do that, the hotkeys will come alive. in foobar, when you open it, it will take you back to the last file you were playing at the point at which you switched off. the same if you press on the last file you were playing. i would have to uninstall foobar, and install it again, to find what it says when you come up one movement with the numbpad. brian.
Re: Foobar?
Casey wrote: Hi can someone please post how to make hot key or short cut keys for foobar. Open the Preferences dialog with Control+P. Press K to get to Keyboard Shortcuts in the tree view. You'll then see the following controls: - A list of defined hotkeys and their actions; - Add/Remove buttons; - a tree view of actions you can assign hotkeys to divided into categories plus an edit field to filter these actions; - a hotkey field where you press the keys you want to be assigned; and - a Global hotkey check box which controls whether the hotkey should take effect when outside the foobar2000 window. To add a new hotkey, for example X to play as in Winamp: 1. Activate the Add new button. 2. Shift+Tab back to the list of defined hotkeys and you should be focussed on the new entry you've just added. Depending on which screen reader you're using, you should hear something like: not set; Global: no; Type: not set; Action: not set Every time you press the Add new button, the newly added unassigned entry is focussed automatically in the list so you don't need to repeat this step for every ke you add once you've got to grips with the layout of the Keyboard Shortcuts screen. 3. Tab past the Add/Remove buttons and the filter box and in the tree view of assignable actions, navigate to: [main] Playback. Alternatively you can type playback in the filter box and then select Play. 4. Tab once to the hotkey field — this field isn't correctly labelled so you will actually hear a description of the chosen action, in this case the description will be: Starts playback. 5. Press the letter X. 6. Activate the OK button to close Preferences or the Apply button if you want to add more hotkeys. 7. When you've added all the hotkeys you want, add something to your playlist and try them out. Hint: there are a lot of actions by default, and any plug-ins you install can also add actions to foobar2000. This allows you to create a very powerful keyboard layout. For example, unlike in Winamp, you can add different hotkeys to jump back and forward by different lengths of time. One other thing to keep in mind: Unlike Winamp, foobar2000 actually has a pretty standard, accessible user interface, and you will need to use the arrow keys to navigate your playlists, the media library if you choose to use it, etc. Thus, it's best not to assign any actions to these.

RE: Foobar?
Hi James, Thanks for these very helpful hints. I've got three more questions, though: Is it possible, like in Winamp, to set a hotkey to jump to a certain time, like pressing ctrl+j in Winamp? I'd also like to know weather there are keys for moving forward and backward in a track, which would be the left and right arrow key in Winamp. And another question: Is it possible to save the settings i.e. the assigned short keys and load them into another version of Foobar on another machine? Thanks and take care, Alexandra Thanks -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of James Scholes Sent: Friday, March 07, 2014 6:04 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Foobar?

Alternatively you can type playback in the filter box and then select Play. 4. Tab once to the hotkey field this field isn't correctly labelled so you will actually hear a description of the chosen action, in this case the description will be: Starts playback. 5. Press the letter X. 6. Activate the OK button to close Preferences or the Apply button if you want to add more hotkeys. 7. When you've added all the hotkeys you want, add something to your playlist and try them out. Hint: there are a lot of actions by default, and any plug-ins you install can also add actions to foobar2000. This allows you to create a very powerful keyboard layout. For example, unlike in Winamp, you can add different hotkeys to jump back and forward by different lengths of time. One other thing to keep in mind: Unlike Winamp, foobar2000 actually has a pretty standard, accessible user interface, and you will need to use the arrow keys to navigate your playlists, the media library if you choose to use it, etc. Thus, it's best not to assign any actions to these.

re foobar for alexandra
Hi alexandra, i don't know of any way to jump to a particular position, but if you have a file playing, the left and right arrows will move you forward and back the file. be careful, if you get to the end of the file, you can't go back with the arrow keys, but will have to start again with letter c. brian.

brian parker wrote: if you have a file playing, the left and right arrows will move you forward and back the file. This is not the default behaviour in a new installation of foobar2000. The left and right arrow keys will only perform this function if you set them up that way in Preferences as I described in an earlier email, otherwise they will do nothing. As I also pointed out in the same message, mapping the arrow keys to functions like this is not recommended if you wish to use the media library as you will need to use them to navigate through your music collection. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes

Re: Foobar?
I was offered the chance to be a playlist manager for an Internet radio station, and I need a program which will merge the tracks on a CD into a continuous track without pauses. I was told that Foobar can do that. I've been using Winamp for 14 years, but I don't think it can do that, so I need to use Foobar, or something else that will merge tracks into a continuous file.

Re: Foobar?
Not sure if it's worth mentioning too, with it's defaults, you've got a lot of extra information shown on the screen which isn't super necessary as just a player. It's possible to slim it down, to one playlist, and a statusbar, which shows the time you've progressed through a file, but removing some of the other stuff isn't the most accessible thing in the world. I'm using NVDA though, so perhaps it's more friendly with windoweyes, but once you've got it looking like you want, it's really an awesome player. Take care. Blessings.

Re: foobar and assigning keys for stop and play and things like that
Have you gone in and set up your hot keys in FooBar yet? Here's a post that was sent to this list a little while ago with some instructions on how to set up hot keys in FooBar. It's a bit tedious, but if you take the time, you can get FooBar to do pretty much what you want! Original Message Subject: Fw: Tips on using Foobar 2000 Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:54:59 -0600 From: Brett Boyer bboyer...@gmail.com Reply-To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org This was a message sent from a year or two ago by Christopher. He explains the process quite well. Read on! bb - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org To set up a keyboard short cut, you can do the following: 1) Start FooBar2000 and use control-p to bring up Preferences. 2) Arrow down to Keyboard Shorcuts. 3) If you tab over about 5 times, you'll end up on the list of the keyboard shortcuts already defined. Arrowing down this list will select the different keyboard shortcuts and give you the chance to edit them. 4) Probably the first thing you want to do is tab over once more to the Add New button. clicking on this button will add a keyboard shortuct to your list of keyboard shortcuts with none of the values set. 5) Shift-tab back to the list of keyboard shortcuts and arrow down to the bottom of the list. You should hear an entry that has three values not set. Make sure you do this step or you could potentially be editing a shortcut you didn't intend to change. I'm speaking from experience here. 6) Tab over about three times and you'll end up on the list of all of the functions you could associate with a shortcut key. For example, you'll have options like volume up, volume down, seek ahead by 30 seconds and seek back by 2 minutes. This list is huge, so you can tab over twice to the filter field and type in something like seek or volume to get just those items that have that string in them. After entering a string in the filter field, shift-tab twice to get back to the subset of functions containing just that string. 7) Select the function you want to associate with a shortcut key and tab over once. This is where it gets a little tricky. You'll hear a more detailed description of the function you selected, but you're really in an edit field where you're going to choose the key you want to associate with this function. Be careful here, if you hit the space bar than the space bar will be associated with whatever function you selected. Suppose you chose the function volume mute and then you associated the space bar with this function. Now whenever you hit the space bar in FooBar2000, the volume will be muted, even when you're typing in the title of a track. FooBar2000 will warn you when you try to associate a common place key, such as up, down, left, right, space, ..., with a function. 8) There's a box where it you can make this a global key. I haven't used this option, but I assume this will let you use that keyboard shortcut even when FooBar2000 doesn't have the focus. Again, be careful here. 9) After setting up a shortcut key you can then arrow over to the list of shortcut keys to change or review anything you've done. Once you have the keys set up you want then just tab over to the Close button and you're done. 10) After you've set up some keys, like seek ahead, seek back, volume up, volume down, ..., go ahead and give them a spin. If you don't like them, you can always go back and change them. One thing I haven't taken the time to do is figure out how to have those keys passed straight through to FooBar2000. So for example, I'll often have to use insert-3 in JFW to have the next key passed through to FooBar2000. I hope this helps.

Re: Foobar or VLC?
I've never had any trouble with RealPlayer, however, I use an earlier version. Winamp plays most things, and is very friendly. I also like the Pacemaker plug-in that lets me adjust playback speed. For the few things that won't play in Winamp, I use VLC.

NOt sure, but I'll look into it.

Re: Foobar or VLC?
Hi. I am a major foobar2000 fan. I don't use videos much but as a player I love it. Foobar does not come with a lot of built-in keystrokes u have to create them. The best part is that making them is accessible, easy, and dare I say fun. In the shortcut key dialog you can access any command of foobar's and assign it to whatever keystroke you want. I will say that for me, the best part of foobar is to have multiple playlists ready to go. Each tab in foobar's main screen is a playlist. I have tabs for movies, tv shows, regular music, howard stern and other internet radio streams, and a temp. These are all playlists that I can access whenever I want them. I can also cut copy and paste in between playlist tabs. This is just a fraction of the customization and power of foobar. It also has great tagging features, file utilities, and a music library that actually works. Like I said I don't do alot with video files so I can't say whether it works better than VLC which I have used in the past for dvd playing. thanks hth bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!

I should also note that Foobar is extremely popular, and that popularity is increasing constantly. This somewhat removes the notion that you either look for new software or you don't; you can be alerted to the existence of a new software application simply by reading status updates on a social networking website, someone's e-mail signature, an article on a blog related to a topic you were actually investigating, etc. I didn't find Foobar through research into new media players; I found it through a software recommendation.

Re: foobar and window-eyes
Your attention to detail (i.e. spelling Foobar with a V) would suggest that you have not considered the very real possibility that Foobar may contain features that, up-to-now, you have not considered you even needed, nor have you considered that Foobar2000 is an audio player, not a media player. The emphasis is on audio playback, and this appeals to some folks. I'll admit that I switched to Foobar2000 from WinAmp about 2 and a half years ago, and haven't looked back. But I'm not here to advocate for its usage, nor to outline in great detail what it is about Foobar that makes me prefer it over WinAmp. That is for you to decide, and until you have tried the product (which is free and does not conflict with an existing WinAmp installation) or at the very least studied the list of features and extra plug-ins available, you are not qualified to take the narrow-minded view that if something ain't broke, don't fix it. There is *always* room for improvement, and that improvement shouldn't have to stand out and hit you in the face for you to notice it. If everybody took such a stilted view of development, whether it be technological, political, economical or otherwise, the world would go nowhere. If you do not wish to try other products, as you feel your current set-up is adequate for your needs, that is absolutely fine. I am not adverse to people sitting back and leaving others to test new software or make change. There are legitimate reasons, such as lack of interest, knowledge and/or skill that may make you incapable, or unwilling to locate, use and assess new software. But asking others what appeals to them about other products is pointless. If I were to tell you that Foobar has a very handy plug-in available for previewing sections of songs, and that it comes in very useful when broadcasting internet radio shows, would that apply to you? If I said that it uses less RAM than WinAmp, would you care? For all I know, your computer might be a powerhouse of a machine with an amount of memory that makes high RAM usage insignificant. I should also note that Foobar is extremely popular, and that popularity is increasing constantly. This somewhat removes the notion that you either look for new software or you don't; you can be alerted to the existence of a new software application simply by reading status updates on a social networking website, someone's e-mail signature, an article on a blog related to a topic you were actually investigating, etc. I didn't find Foobar through research into new media players; I found it through a software recommendation. Previously, Tom Kaufman said: Christopher and list: Amen! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Hi, Speaking of Foobar, I would be curious to hear from users which particular shortcut key combinations you've assigned for the main program functions. I'm about to embark on setting up a few short cut keys, and would be interested to have some ideas of what has been found to work well. Thanks, Tim. Bangor, N. Ireland.

Re: foobar and window-eyes
Hey all. Tom I appreciate where you're coming from. However a few years ago I got fed up with winamp adding more stuff that I didn't need. It was becoming bulkier than I wanted and so I went snooping around for other alternatives. I will give you one main advantage foobar has over the competition. Multiple playlists. That's right something you thought you didn't need or at least I thought I didn't need until I realized how wonderful it was. With this tiny little player that is as customizable as you can get. I can now have my audio books, TV shows, music, and whatever all in the same window. I don't have to keep opening new playlists and reloading files. And one more great thing about Foobar, that I just rediscovered, is tagging. Since my music library is a total mess. (I do mean a total mess) I knew it was time to retag everything from album names to genre (don't get me started on genres) Foobar has a beautiful interface for tagging files and / or folders. Maybe I should do a podcast on it because I'm so thrilled how great it is. I've been looking for an idea for a podcast anyway. But suffice it to say I think a lot of people are scared to go outside the box and blind people more so than sighted folks. Let's face it, if I didn't go outside the box I never would have discovered programs like Foobar about 3 years ago. I understand the fear of trying something new especially when screen access software is picky and you never know what you're going to get. I recently read an article on a program called Songsmith. It's one of these program that can help you create music by making a few selections and just singing in to your microphone. I found it, downloaded, and couldn't do a thing with it. But at least I tried and I'm still checking it out with all of the screen readers I have.

RE: Foobar, ripping and a problem
Foobar2000 only includes the FLAC decoder needed for playback of FLAC files. To create FLAC files you need the FLAC encoder. I've never used foobar2000 to rip and encode to FLAC but I guess it uses the flac.exe command line encoder.

Re: Foobar, ripping and a problem
Hi Christopher, I think you need a Flac encoder, which you can download from this page: http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html For windows, there's a choice of either an installer which puts the file flac.exe in a flac folder in programs, or alternatively a zip file which contains flac.exe which you put anywhere you want. The two direct links are: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.2.1b.exe http://sourceforge.net/projects/flac/files/flac-win/flac-1.2.1-win/flac-1.2.1-win.zip/download David. original message: I'm trying to use the cd ripping feature in Foobar 2000 1.1.5.

I'm not able to answer any questions about Foobar as I don't use it myself. You can download Foobar from www.foobar2000.org. Here are the list of changes in this version: New context menu structure - better out-of-the-box layout but less customizable. Built-in support for Windows Media and RTSP streaming. Edit menu operates on the currently selected object rather than always on the active playlist. Improved compatibility with multimedia keyboards. Improved, more customizable album art support. Portable installs now remember Media Library paths relatively to the install folder. Reworked Preferences: OK/Cancel/Apply buttons, new layout of standard pages. New options regarding selection viewer behavior. Default User Interface: new pseudo color code system for status bar and playlist view. CD ripping improvements: Results can be now checked against the AccurateRip database on-the-fly. CD-TEXT reading support. Ability to choose individual tracks to rip in the Rip Audio CD dialog.

Re: Foobar 2000
I saw that screen compatibility stuff but never actually found it. I think it was for an older version of foobar. Anyway let me see if I can explain the keyboard setup. Basically after you go into preferences on the file menu and open the general branch of the tree view, the new section is keyobard shortcuts or something. When you tab around you will hear the normal prefernces buttons: save all, close, reset, whatever. Then you will se a list view, if you arrow down you will hear some keystrokes and there descrpition with a bit of giberish betweeen every thing. Once you have highlighted any entry in this list by either arrowing down or pressing spacebar or whatever the rest of the dialog box will be revealed. If nothing get highlighted in this list you will not see the rest of what I am talking about. Anyway, now that you have something highlighted you can tab to the add then remove buttons. Now here comes the fun part the next time you hit tab you will see a tree view of all the commands foobar offers; context menu commands, menu bar commands, playlist commands, and more. When you find the command you want tab once to the edit field and press your desired keystroke. Press shift tab till you find the add button. Now to check your work shift tab to the first listview and see if your keystroke and command have been added to the list. Well that is the short version. If you have trouble I can go through and give an example if you'd like. There might be other ways of doing this but this is how I've been d oing it, and remember I've only used this program for a few weeks now.

Re: Foobar 2000
I haven't found it to be very accessible with WE. This might not be a good program to use for you. I am a Window-eyes user and have been for over ten years, but I've got to hand it to JFW. Foobar, the first program I have seen that works without scripts! Believe it or not! If I could write set files for WE I'm sure I could make this program work. But I can't so I don't. The keyboard shortcuts have to be set up by the user. It's a simple process but kind of a tedious one. If you don't have the time I suggest moving on.

Re: Foobar 2000
Hmm, when I went to http://www.foobar2000.org/, I saw a download link there. Are you having trouble downloading it from that location? I ask because this is the first link I see when I use Google.com, and I posted this in answer to your question a few days ago. Did you not get that message? I don't use FooBar2000 myself anymore, so there is a chance that that download link doesn't work.
