How to stream foobar2000 music to your device


Through the use of a third-party app and another component in foobar2000, it's possible to enjoy your foobar2000 library on your device and still control it with your favourite remote control (or with foobar2000 controller ;) )

Follow the next steps:

  1. Install foo_out_upnp component in foobar2000 and restart it.
  2. Install BubbleUPnP on your Android device from the Play Store and start it.
  3. In foobar2000, select BubbleUPnP as the output device. "File > Preferences > Playback > Output".

Now you can listen to your foobar2000 library and controll it from foobar2000 controller.

New version 0.8.9. Merry Play from file.

After being requested hundreds of thousands of times.. Play from file is finally available!!

You can find it as the third icon, next to Media Library and there access to all the files from your PC and Network. Simply click on a file it and it'll start playing. Some more actions are available via long-click in either a folder or a file.
There's also a couple of new settings for the new functionality under "Display settings" section.



Besides the huge addition of playing from file, there has been quite a lot of internal reworking to make the app smoother and reliable. I hope that statement comes true..
