Installing and Upgrading

How do I make foobar2000 my default player?

Yous can associate foobar2000 with different file types at 'Preferences → File types' (Windows XP just) or admission relevant control console from 'Preferences → Shell Integration'.

How volition upgrading touch my settings?

Upgrading from any 0.nine.x or i.ten version to the latest version will leave your settings intact, provided you install the new version on summit of the old one.

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

Many one-time third party components no longer cooperate with newer foobar2000 versions. If y'all accept whatsoever third party components installed, you should update them to their latest versions, or remove them i past one until you find the problematic component.

How practice I install additional 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. Delight read on to learn about installing other components.

Note that this content applies to foobar2000 versions ane.ane and newer. If y'all're using an older version, delight upgrade now to utilize the new interface.

• Step one: Open the foobar2000 preferences dialog.

• Step 2: Get to the Components folio.

• Stride iii: Click the "Install…" push and select the component annal, or simply drag information technology to the list.

• Step 4: Printing "OK", you volition be prompted to restart foobar2000 in order to load the newly installed component.

I've downloaded foobar2000 from another site and I'm experiencing problems...

Yous should ever download foobar2000 from its habitation folio (foobar2000.org) and not from other sites. If yous're experiencing suspicious activities subsequently installing, we strongly recommend that you uninstall it immediately and scan your computer 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 have no command over such installers and can't provide much assistance 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 Many of them include outdated foobar2000 versions with known security vulnerabilities.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 oftentimes only harming the community by scaring new users away with "pretty" user interfaces that are difficult to apply and ridden with bugs.

Please notation that people affiliated with foobar2000 development never post announcements or files to other forums, software download or file sharing sites. Every bit a result, nosotros accept no control over foobar2000 files that get posted to popular software download sites, and we have no intention of wasting our resources on verifying each case. If you've been led to believe that foobar2000 files on some site have been posted by the author himself, yous're existence lied to and this site should not be trusted.

Troubleshooting

What should I do before reporting a problem?

About technical bug can be solved by removing any third-party components and resetting the configuration (or doing a fresh reinstall). It is recommended that y'all backup your foobar2000 directory before doing that, then y'all can attempt to restore your old settings/components later, or assist us with identifying the exact source of the problem.

I am experiencing high system resource usage (retentivity or CPU) while playing.

Please disable any unneeded DSPs (such every bit resampler). Some of them require a lot of resources to operate.

Some DSPs such as crossfader or gap remover demand actress retentivity buffers to operate; you tin can reduce the retention usage by changing their settings. Likewise, certain output modes (Kernel Streaming) have been reported to use excessive amounts of CPU time on certain systems.

Finally, some third-political party components are known to use high amounts of CPU time.

I accept a trouble with ane of the third-party components...

Please post your question on the third-party component forum. As we don't take responsibility for components other people brand, this FAQ can't help you any further.

Why is seeking then slow 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 tin't be optimized neither for CBR files (frame sizes aren't actually constant 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-verbal seeking). Therefore MP3 seeking works by bruteforce-walking the MPEG stream chain and is appropriately tedious (this gets faster when yous pass through the same point of file for the second time because seektables take been congenital in the RAM).

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

At that place are multiple reasons why this could happen. If in that location is no fault message, the component has been banned - most likely for violating the foobar2000 SDK license. Otherwise please see the post-obit list of error messages and the possible solutions for each.

• "Multiple instances of DLL with the aforementioned file proper noun found."
  This is probably the result of a manual component installation gone incorrect. foobar2000 has plant multiple component DLLs with the aforementioned file proper name (in unlike subfolders of its awarding folder), but merely ane has been loaded. You should remove the redundant copy.

• "This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for a different version of foobar2000."
  This component DLL requires one or more than other DLL files that can not be institute on your arrangement. This fault may also occur as a result of trying to load components made for a unlike major version of foobar2000, such as 0.8.10 components under 0.9.x / ane.x.

• "Wrong version number; this component appears to have been congenital with a newer version of the foobar2000 SDK. Delight download the latest version of foobar2000 in club to utilize information technology."
  The error message already says what you should do.

• "Wrong version number; this component appears to have 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 author of the component to obtain an updated version."
  The error message already says what you lot should do.

• "This awarding has failed to start considering the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may set 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. Oft this is a detail version of the Visual C++ runtime that is not installed on your computer. Please cheque the component'southward documentation – especially the installation instructions – for information most whatsoever required DLLs.

Some of my files are non seen by the Media Library...

• Make sure that neither the folders containing the files nor the files themselves take hidden attribute set.

• If those files are not in one of formats natively supported by foobar2000, such as Monkey's Audio, you need to download and install relevant decoder component in order to be able to see and play them. If y'all've already installed it, you may need to remove affected folders from Media Library configuration and add them dorsum for those files to become visible.

Where's the File Types page in Preferences? I can't find it...

Yous accept installed foobar2000 in portable mode. The portable mode does not back up Windows shell integration. Yous need to reinstall in standard mode in lodge to access relevant functionality.

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

Exercise not use alternate output modes unless you must. There is NO do good in terms of audio quality to using these, as far equally music playback is concerned ( read more than on the subject ).

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

I have an Asus Xonar bill of fare and I'm experiencing problems...

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

If you're running foobar2000 older than 1.ane.10, please update - version 1.1.ten introduces workarounds for certain known Xonar bugs.

Tagging Files

How exercise I edit tags of my files ?

Right-click one or more tracks, choose 'Properties' from the context menu. Diverse boosted functionality can be accessed by selecting one or more fields in the Properties dialog and right-clicking them.

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

Tin can I have 'Previous' / 'Next' buttons in the Properties dialog, to become to properties of previous / side by side track in my playlist?

No. If y'all want to edit tags of multiple tracks, you lot can do it more efficiently past but 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 nowadays in the file when it is possible to fit the information being written inside these.

If the file does not already take tags that can hold the information being written, foobar2000 will add the ID3 tags necessary to shop information technology.

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

Merely use the 'Tagging → MP3 tag types' feature from the context menu. The dialog appearing is not an option dialog. The changes y'all are doing there are applied to the selected files only.

Why is 'Tagging -> MP3 tag types' missing from the context carte du jour?

Y'all have probably selected one or more non-MP3 files. The feature is just 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 information from the tags?

You lot can find this feature at 'File operations' from the context bill of fare (y'all demand to enable the 'Optional features → Tools → File operations' during installation).

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

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

Converting Audio Files to Dissimilar File Formats

How do I convert my sound files to another format?

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

Note that converting to most supported formats requires external control-line encoders. Encoders for various pop formats tin be easily installed with the foobar2000 gratis encoder pack. For the remaining formats, we recommend obtaining encoders from RareWares.

Random / Shuffle Playback Gild

What'southward the difference between Shuffle and Random playback order modes?

• Random mode picks tracks randomly, without special measures to preclude track repetitions other than a simple check to preclude the same track from playing twice in a row.

• Shuffle modes keep an internal randomized list of tracks in your playlist and play tracks according to their society in that list, then you don't become repetitions until all tracks in your playlist have been played. Shuffle's randomized runway lists for each playlist are re-created on foobar2000 restart or when starting/advancing playback with some other shuffle mode. Note that manually selecting a rails to play in your playlist volition outcome in shuffle playback continuing from that track'south location on the randomized list, which is oftentimes perceived as repetitions: each time yous manually choose a track to play (by doubleclicking it in playlist, etc.), shuffle plays the same tracks after that runway; use 'Play → Random' menu command or the 'Random' push when you lot want to continue playback from a random rails instead.

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

See Birthday paradox. Random mode doesn't prevent rail repetitions other than the same track played twice in a row. Y'all probably desire to utilise 'Shuffle (tracks)' mode instead.

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

Shuffle modes proceed an internal reordered list of tracks in your playlist. If you lot manually offset playback from some track that y'all've already played, you'll get the same tracks played after it as last time. Employ the 'Playback → Random' menu command to pick a random runway 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 anthology footing rather than track basis and play tracks in each album in sequential guild. Shuffle (albums) is usable when your files are tagged properly ("%album creative person% | %engagement% | %album%" evaluates to unique value for each of your anthology and doesn't vary between tracks in i album); Shuffle (directories) is meant as a fallback when your tagging scheme renders Shuffle (albums) useless merely you go on each album in a split folder. Note that the album identification pattern can be customized in 'Preferences → Advanced → Playback → Shuffle → Album grouping design'.

foobar2000 on the Web

What is the official foobar2000 spider web site?

The but official web site is at world wide web.foobar2000.org; the official forum is at forums.foobar2000.org - a part of Hydrogenaudio Forums.

There are certain other sites claiming to exist "official" foobar2000 sites in languages other than English. These sites are in no way affiliated with us. Every bit we have no power over content of those sites, you should avoid using them as they may contain other misinformation or even malware.

Other Questions

How practice I use title formatting strings?

Delight cull 'Titleformatting Help' from foobar2000'southward 'Assistance' carte du jour.

How do I enable volume display or playlist selection total fourth dimension display in my status bar?

Correct-click the status bar, toggle relevant option.

How practice I make the currently playing rail to be selected (highlighted) and stay ever in view?

Enable "Cursor Follows Playback" nether main window's "Playback" bill of fare.

What is ReplayGain?

I can't detect some command in my playlist context (correct-click) menu. What do I do?

Go to 'Preferences → Brandish → Context Menu', correct-click a grouping you want to add an entry to, select 'Insert item → Command…', choose the command you're looking for from the list. If the command y'all need tin can't be constitute, you're missing a component that provides it.

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

Why practice some menu commands not work when bound to global keyboard shortcuts?

Context bill of fare commands crave a list of tracks on which to operate. If you execute them from the context menu or using a normal (non-global) keyboard shortcut, this list is provided by part of the program where you lot used the context menu or the keyboard shortcut (the context). For global keyboard shortcuts there is no way to chose a list of tracks automatically when they are used, so you take to chose a context when y'all bind the command. To practise so, select a control from the [context / now playing] or [context / playlist] branch to make the command use 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 utilize some user-editable XML-based playlist file format instead?

The FPL format is not meant to be interchangeable with other software or editable past users. Its primary design goals are carrying all necessary track data (metadata, last seen modification fourth dimension, etc.) betwixt 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 track information caching compages; potential design changes in that area in hereafter foobar2000 versions will inevitably require a new not-backwards-compatible revision of the FPL format.

Are specifications of foobar2000's configuration file format (.cfg) available? 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 information technology user-editable would result in 3rd party component developers using it as an alibi not to provide proper user interface to change their components' settings, just like many components utilize title formatting every bit an alibi not to provide a more attainable way to customize them. Additionally, keeping the entire configuration file structure human-readable would consequence in slower startup/shutdown and code bloat too equally break compatibility with existing configuration files (or require even more than bloat to import erstwhile settings).

Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?

No. Near of "sound quality differences" people "hear" are placebo upshot (at least with existent music), equally actual differences in produced sound information are below their noise floor (one or ii last bits in 16bit samples). foobar2000 has audio processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, simply nigh of the other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.

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

foobar2000 does not support any kind of translations. If you lot desire a lightweight role player with full multilanguage support, we recommend Boom.
