Quick Installation Note (for advanced foobar users)
- Install required fonts and required components
- Be sure foobar is not running then extract content of the .zip archive in your foobar200 profile folder (configuration folder + sqlite3.exe)
>> if portable installation done , it's the same folder as the foobar2000 program folder, for example "D:\Portable Software\foobar2000\"
>> if standard installation done , for windows Seven, it's here => "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\", for windows XP it's here => "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\foobar2000\" - When done, Run foobar
- If prompted (only for fresh install), select ColumnsUI as default interface
- On the Spotifoo splash screen, click the red "click" button to complete the installation
- In order to use last.fm integration, you have to set:
>> your last.fm username and password in the settings of foo_softplaylist and foo_audioscrobbler (foobar Preferences->Tools ...)
>> your last.fm username and api key by clicking the last.fm button of the config (near the loved button)
Detailled Installation Note (for newbies):
- Install required fonts if missing on your windows system
- Make a fresh install of foobar2000 v1.1.1 minimum
- Install all the required components => check foobar2000 documentation if you don't know how to install a component! (since v1.1, install is done under foobar / Preferences / Components with Install button)
- Be sure foobar is not running then extract content of the .zip archive in your foobar200 profile folder (configuration folder + sqlite3.exe)
>> if portable installation done , it's the same folder as the foobar2000 program folder, for example "D:\Portable Software\foobar2000\")
>> if standard installation done , for windows Seven, it's here => "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\", for windows XP it's here => "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\foobar2000\" - When done, Run foobar
- When prompted, select ColumnsUI as default interface
- On the Spotifoo splash screen, if controls are OK (fonts and components check) click the red "click" button to complete the installation
- In order to use last.fm integration, you'll have to set:
>> your last.fm username and password in the settings of foo_softplaylist and foo_audioscrobbler (foobar Preferences->Tools ...)
>> your last.fm username and api key by clicking the last.fm button of the config (near the loved button) - Don't forget to configure your Library, hide the default CUI Toolbar if still visible on top ... and have good time with my config and mostly with your music!
Important notes
- To enable last.fm (last.fm loved track binded with heart button and displayed in playlist + playcount in playlist replaced by the playcount from last.fm) ==> click the last.fm button then select 'Enable last.fm ...'
- Last.fm feature (loved track + playcount) when last.fm is enabled, are stored locally in customdb as specific TAG (local TAG for love and playcount are not replaced !!! no sync in tags at all)
- You need to set your last.fm username and API key by clicking the last.fm button.
- You need to set your last.fm username and password in the settings of the components : foo_softplaylists and foo_audioscrobbler
- If after that, it doesn't work, try Spotifoo on a fresh portable install of foobar, there must be a bad setting somewhere in your actual config already present before installing the latest Spotifoo version, and set all settings as it should be (up!)
Lyrics panel information
- - It's a WSH script that gets lyrics from TAG first then from local file in Music folder then in foobar2000\lyrics\ and it displays them (scrolling+sync)
- It handles TXT and LRC format (sync handled), but not the LRC Enhanced format (translated to simple LRC format)
- exotics timestamps are now handled (like [9:99], [99:99.999], [9:99.999], [99:99:999] ...)
- filenames supported are : <%artist%> -<%title%>.lrc (or .txt) AND <%artist%> - <%title%>.lrc (or .txt)
- Comments, Blank lines (no timestamp) and Info lines (ar:, ti, ...) are ignored.
- Manual Scrolling possible with the mousewheel (double click on the panel to re-center on the active line)
- Optional requirements :
=> a lyrics grabber component (i.e: Lyric Show Panel (by hidding the panel, just a PSS setting), foo_lyricsDB 2, ...)

I have a 4k display. All menu items are extremely small and the playlist font is too big, doesn't fit ...
I am sure it's a setting, probably in windows 10... Can anybody help?
Spurious/oversized metadata such as whole EAC logs entries are now dropped from foobar2000's cache, for better search performance and lower resource usage. The feature is now customizable by editing LargeFieldsConfig.txt in foobar2000 profile folder [beta 3].
so, i don't know which tags are missing for you, but just try to add them to the file above.regsvr32 c:\Windows\SysWOW64\scrrun.dll
You might've seen suggestions like this before with "system32" in the place of "SysWOW64", and I tried that first, but only when I tried with SysWOW64 did it work. Apparently it's the 32-bit version of the Scripting Engine (scrrun.dll) that got unregistered somehow.
If you're on a 32-bit version of Windows, you should use "system32" instead of "SysWOW64".
P.S. Full disclosure: I tried to start using other skins after various things I tried didn't work to fix this one, but just couldn't do it. This skin is just too perfect. Glad I figured it out.

the foobar windows is completely white atm
Recently I was running onto "Automation server can't create object" errors that I couldn't resolve. Unticking "Safe Mode" in WSH Panel Mod's options didn't help, changing security settings in Internet Options didn't help, but I finally came across a solution and got my favorite player and skin back. I wrote a detailed solution on my blog: [link]
Hope it helps other users as well!
Thank you for all the stuff and time you put into it.
Je suis un fervent utilisateur de ta skin Spotifoo. Et déjà pour ça, je te remercie. C'est une des skins les plus pratiques pour mon utilisation (après quelques modifs persos ^^ ).
Je bloque sur une modif que je voudrait faire car je ne vois où tu as stocké cette fonction : le bouton en bas à droite active le "shuffle mode". Je préférerai le "random mode". Pourrais-tu m'expliquer comment modifier ça, stp?
Encore merci pour tout le taff, passe une bonne journée.
A+

I used to use the "Biography View" component to retrieve album covers from internet, adding this to your skin would make it really awesome
Do you have any tip on how to do this?
Much appreciated!!!

In the playlist view, how to i group albums by the name of the folder only?
