Installing and Upgrading

How exercise I make foobar2000 my default role player?

Y'all can acquaintance foobar2000 with different file types at 'Preferences → File types' (Windows XP only) or admission relevant control panel from 'Preferences → Shell Integration'.

How will upgrading affect my settings?

Upgrading from any 0.ix.10 or 1.x version to the latest version will get out your settings intact, provided you install the new version on top of the old i.

I have updated from a very old foobar2000 version to the latest and now I am experiencing major problems...

Many sometime third party components no longer cooperate with newer foobar2000 versions. If you accept any third political party components installed, you should update them to their latest versions, or remove them one by one until you detect the problematic component.

How do I install boosted components?

To install components from the foobar2000 installer that you did non choose to install during the initial installation, just rerun the installer and select them; your settings will be kept intact. Please read on to learn near installing other components.

Note that this content applies to foobar2000 versions 1.1 and newer. If yous're using an older version, please upgrade now to utilize the new interface.

Stride 1: Open up the foobar2000 preferences dialog.
Stride 2: Go to the Components page.
Step iii: Click the "Install…" button and select the component archive, or merely drag it to the listing.
Step 4: Press "OK", y'all will be prompted to restart foobar2000 in guild to load the newly installed component.

I've downloaded foobar2000 from some other site and I'one thousand experiencing problems...

You should always download foobar2000 from its dwelling house page (foobar2000.org) and not from other sites. If you're experiencing suspicious activities later installing, we strongly recommend that you uninstall it immediately and browse your figurer for viruses/malware.

There have been many reported cases of modified foobar2000 setups with pre-configured visuals and additional plugins included, which is - for good reasons - against the foobar2000 license. We accept no command over such installers and can't provide much help regarding problems that you run into when using them. Many of them include outdated foobar2000 versions with known security vulnerabilities. People creating such installers are ofttimes only harming the community by scaring new users away with "pretty" user interfaces that are difficult to use and ridden with bugs.

Please note that people affiliated with foobar2000 development never post announcements or files to other forums, software download or file sharing sites. As a result, nosotros have no command over foobar2000 files that become posted to pop software download sites, and we have no intention of wasting our resources on verifying each instance. If y'all've been led to believe that foobar2000 files on some site accept been posted by the author himself, yous're being lied to and this site should not be trusted.

Troubleshooting

What should I do before reporting a trouble?

Most technical problems tin can be solved past removing any third-party components and resetting the configuration (or doing a fresh reinstall). It is recommended that yous backup your foobar2000 directory earlier doing that, then you can try to restore your old settings/components later, or help us with identifying the exact source of the problem.

I am experiencing high system resources usage (memory or CPU) while playing.

Please disable whatever unneeded DSPs (such as resampler). Some of them crave a lot of resources to operate.

Some DSPs such as crossfader or gap remover need extra retentivity buffers to operate; you tin reduce the memory usage past changing their settings. Also, certain output modes (Kernel Streaming) have been reported to utilise excessive amounts of CPU time on sure systems.

Finally, some tertiary-political party components are known to use loftier amounts of CPU fourth dimension.

I have a trouble with i of the third-party components...

Please postal service your question on the 3rd-party component forum. As we don't accept responsibleness for components other people make, this FAQ tin can't help you whatever further.

Why is seeking so boring while playing MP3 files?

The MP3 format doesn't natively support sample-accurate seeking, and sample accurate seeking is absolutely required by some features of foobar2000 (such as .CUE playback). MP3 seeking can't be optimized neither for CBR files (frame sizes aren't really abiding because of padding used), nor for VBR files (both Xing and VBRI headers in those files contain only approximated info and are useless for sample-exact seeking). Therefore MP3 seeking works by bruteforce-walking the MPEG stream chain and is appropriately dull (this gets faster when you pass through the aforementioned point of file for the second time because seektables have been congenital in the RAM).

What should I practice if foobar2000 refuses to load a component DLL?

At that place are multiple reasons why this could happen. If there is no error message, the component has been banned - well-nigh likely for violating the foobar2000 SDK license. Otherwise please see the following list of error messages and the possible solutions for each.

"Multiple instances of DLL with the aforementioned file name found."
This is probably the effect of a manual component installation gone wrong. foobar2000 has found multiple component DLLs with the same file proper noun (in unlike subfolders of its application folder), but only one has been loaded. You should remove the redundant copy.

"This component is missing a required dependency, or was fabricated for a different version of foobar2000."
This component DLL requires 1 or more other DLL files that can non be constitute on your arrangement. This mistake may besides occur as a result of trying to load components made for a different major version of foobar2000, such as 0.viii.x components nether 0.9.x / 1.x.

"Wrong version number; this component appears to have been built with a newer version of the foobar2000 SDK. Delight download the latest version of foobar2000 in guild to employ it."
The error message already says what you should exercise.

"Wrong version number; this component appears to accept been build with an outdated version of the foobar2000 SDK. It needs to be updated to a newer SDK version in order to load. Please contact the writer of the component to obtain an updated version."
The error message already says what you should do.

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may gear up this problem."
This error message is non related to the component'southward configuration data that is stored in the foobar2000 configuration file. Rather, the error message is returned by Windows when foobar2000 tries to load a component DLL and Windows cannot find a DLL that the component requires. Often this is a particular version of the Visual C++ runtime that is non installed on your computer. Please check the component'south documentation – especially the installation instructions – for information about any required DLLs.

Some of my files are not seen past the Media Library...

Brand sure that neither the folders containing the files nor the files themselves have hidden attribute set.
If those files are not in i of formats natively supported by foobar2000, such every bit Monkey'southward Audio, yous need to download and install relevant decoder component in order to exist able to run into and play them. If you've already installed it, you may need to remove affected folders from Media Library configuration and add together them dorsum for those files to become visible.

Where's the File Types page in Preferences? I tin't find information technology...

You lot have installed foobar2000 in portable way. The portable mode does not support Windows shell integration. You demand to reinstall in standard manner in society to access relevant functionality.

I am using ASIO/WASAPI/etc output and I am experiencing issues...

Do not utilize alternating output modes unless you lot must. At that place is NO benefit in terms of audio quality to using these, as far equally music playback is concerned ( read more on the discipline ).

Additionally, on most systems, WASAPI (if available) is known to be more stable than ASIO.

I take an Asus Xonar carte and I'm experiencing issues...

Asus Xonar cards are infamous for their buggy drivers. We recommend getting a soundcard from another manufacturer instead.

If y'all're running foobar2000 older than 1.1.x, delight update - version 1.1.10 introduces workarounds for certain known Xonar bugs.

Tagging Files

How do I edit tags of my files ?

Right-click ane or more tracks, cull 'Properties' from the context menu. Various additional functionality tin can be accessed past selecting ane or more fields in the Backdrop dialog and right-clicking them.

Note that y'all can mass-edit tags of a group of track by opening the Properties dialog on multiple items.

Can I have 'Previous' / 'Side by side' buttons in the Properties dialog, to go to backdrop of previous / next rail in my playlist?

No. If you want to edit tags of multiple tracks, y'all tin do information technology more efficiently past just selecting them all and opening the Properties dialog for them.

What tag types does foobar2000 write to my MP3 files?

foobar2000 maintains the existing tags present in the file when it is possible to fit the information being written within these.

If the file does not already take tags that tin can concord the information existence written, foobar2000 will add the ID3 tags necessary to store it.

How tin I add together ID3v1, ID3v2, or APEv2 tags to my MP3 files, or how can I remove them?

Just use the 'Tagging → MP3 tag types' characteristic from the context card. The dialog appearing is not an option dialog. The changes yous are doing there are applied to the selected files only.

Why is 'Tagging -> MP3 tag types' missing from the context menu?

You have probably selected one or more non-MP3 files. The feature is only available for MP3 files.

Why does foobar2000 write question marks to my ID3v1 tags?

Only ASCII characters are allowed in ID3v1. Any other characters are replaced by question marks on rewrites.

Renaming Files

How can I rename files based on data from the tags?

You tin can observe this feature at 'File operations' from the context menu (you lot need to enable the 'Optional features → Tools → File operations' during installation).

Why tin can't I use $replace() to create custom substitution schemes for characters that tin can't be used in file names?

Invalid file proper noun characters - such as slashes or backslashes - are replaced before metadata originating from the file is processed by title formatting functions. This is necessary to allow slash or backslash characters placed by you in your file name formatting pattern to be interpreted as path delimiters without the side outcome of each slash contained in metadata fields included in your file name formatting design beingness interpreted as a path delimiter as well.

Converting Audio Files to Different File Formats

How do I catechumen my audio files to another format?

Load tracks you want to convert into a playlist, right click, cull 'Convert' from the context menu, click one of sub-options. Converting functionality requires the Converter component to exist installed ('Optional Features → Tools → Converter' during installation).

Note that converting to well-nigh supported formats requires external command-line encoders. Encoders for various popular formats tin exist hands installed with the foobar2000 free encoder pack. For the remaining formats, we recommend obtaining encoders from RareWares.

Random / Shuffle Playback Order

What's the difference between Shuffle and Random playback social club modes?

Random way picks tracks randomly, without special measures to forbid track repetitions other than a simple check to prevent the same rails from playing twice in a row.
Shuffle modes keep an internal randomized list of tracks in your playlist and play tracks according to their gild in that list, so you don't get repetitions until all tracks in your playlist have been played. Shuffle's randomized track lists for each playlist are re-created on foobar2000 restart or when starting/advancing playback with another shuffle mode. Note that manually selecting a rail to play in your playlist will result in shuffle playback continuing from that track's location on the randomized list, which is often perceived as repetitions: each time you manually choose a rail to play (past doubleclicking it in playlist, etc.), shuffle plays the aforementioned tracks after that track; apply 'Play → Random' carte command or the 'Random' push when you want to proceed playback from a random rail instead.

Random mode: Why do I hear the same track more than than once a day in a very long playlist?

Encounter Birthday paradox. Random mode doesn't forestall runway repetitions other than the aforementioned track played twice in a row. Yous probably want to employ 'Shuffle (tracks)' mode instead.

Shuffle way: Why do I hear the same tracks regularly, played in the same order?

Shuffle modes keep an internal reordered list of tracks in your playlist. If y'all manually kickoff playback from some track that you've already played, you lot'll get the same tracks played later it as last time. Utilize the 'Playback → Random' menu command to choice a random track in your playlist to resume from.

What'south the purpose of Shuffle (albums) and Shuffle (directories) modes?

These modes can be used to reorder your playlist on album basis rather than track basis and play tracks in each album in sequential lodge. Shuffle (albums) is usable when your files are tagged properly ("%anthology artist% | %date% | %anthology%" evaluates to unique value for each of your album and doesn't vary between tracks in one album); Shuffle (directories) is meant as a fallback when your tagging scheme renders Shuffle (albums) useless simply you go on each album in a separate folder. Note that the album identification pattern can exist customized in 'Preferences → Advanced → Playback → Shuffle → Album grouping pattern'.

foobar2000 on the Spider web

What is the official foobar2000 web site?

The only official web site is at www.foobar2000.org; the official forum is at forums.foobar2000.org - a role of Hydrogenaudio Forums.

In that location are certain other sites claiming to be "official" foobar2000 sites in languages other than English language. These sites are in no style affiliated with us. Equally we have no ability over content of those sites, yous should avoid using them equally they may contain other misinformation or even malware.

Other Questions

How practice I apply title formatting strings?

Please choose 'Titleformatting Help' from foobar2000'due south 'Assist' menu.

How practice I enable volume display or playlist choice total time brandish in my status bar?

Correct-click the status bar, toggle relevant option.

How do I brand the currently playing runway to be selected (highlighted) and stay always in view?

Enable "Cursor Follows Playback" under chief window's "Playback" card.

What is ReplayGain?

I can't observe some command in my playlist context (right-click) menu. What exercise I do?

Go to 'Preferences → Display → Context Carte', right-click a grouping you desire to add an entry to, select 'Insert detail → Control…', choose the command y'all're looking for from the list. If the command you need tin't exist found, you're missing a component that provides it.

If the control you're looking for is already in the context menu structure tree under Context Menu Preferences yet you lot tin can't see it in your context menus, information technology might be context-sensitive and available only for specific tracks; for an instance, MP3-specific utility commands are available only when all selected tracks are MP3 files.

Why practise some card commands not work when jump to global keyboard shortcuts?

Context menu commands require a listing of tracks on which to operate. If you execute them from the context carte du jour or using a normal (non-global) keyboard shortcut, this listing is provided by part of the plan where you used the context menu or the keyboard shortcut (the context). For global keyboard shortcuts there is no manner to chose a listing of tracks automatically when they are used, and so you accept to chose a context when you bind the control. To do so, select a command from the [context / now playing] or [context / playlist] co-operative to make the command employ the playing track or the selected items on the active playlist when you press the global keyboard shortcut.

Are specifications of the FPL playlist format available? Why doesn't foobar2000 use some user-editable XML-based playlist file format instead?

The FPL format is not meant to be interchangeable with other software or editable by users. Its master design goals are carrying all necessary track information (metadata, final seen modification time, etc.) between foobar2000 sessions while remaining as fast to read and write as possible, since reading/writing FPL files bottlenecks app startup and shutdown with large Media Library or playlists. Making the FPL format user-editable would introduce massive startup/shutdown delays for certain users.

Additionally, the format is strictly tied to foobar2000 rail information caching architecture; potential pattern changes in that area in future foobar2000 versions will inevitably require a new not-backwards-compatible revision of the FPL format.

Are specifications of foobar2000'south configuration file format (.cfg) bachelor? Why doesn't foobar2000 use some user-editable XML-based configuration file format instead?

The configuration file format is not meant to be interchangeable with other software or editable by users. Making it user-editable would outcome in third party component developers using information technology as an excuse not to provide proper user interface to change their components' settings, simply like many components use championship formatting every bit an excuse non to provide a more than attainable way to customize them. Additionally, keeping the entire configuration file structure human-readable would result in slower startup/shutdown and code bloat equally well every bit pause compatibility with existing configuration files (or require even more than bloat to import old settings).

Does foobar2000 audio better than other players?

No. Near of "sound quality differences" people "hear" are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced audio data are below their noise floor (ane or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-terminate soundcards, but near of the other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.

Is foobar2000 available in languages other than English? Tin can I contribute a translation?

foobar2000 does not back up any kind of translations. If you desire a lightweight histrion with full multilanguage support, we recommend Boom.
