Have you already updated the component files with the new installer??

New installer available. Fix for Portable installations, additions for future versions

I've released a new PC-Side installer (v1.2).

It fixes the installation for Portable foobar2000 installations and it adds changes for future versions.

Also, from now on, the only installer available is the .exe file; the .zip version is no longer available.
Please contact me if you have a problem with .exe installer.

Everyone should download this!

You can find the new installer here:

• PC-Side installer v1.2

New version 0.8.3. (Finally!!) Touch and play for Playlist view

Finally in the Playlist view you just have to click on a song to play it..! If you want more info or enqueue/dequeue it, you'll just have to press on those three dots.

Also Turkish and Indonesian users will be a bit happier.

Look at the release notes anyway.


New features

• Playlist items now play the song when touched.
• Added partial translation of Turkish (thanks to Arda Kılıçdağı)
• Added partial translation of Indonesian (thanks to Ritter Dante)

This is how it looks the current Playlist view:

New version 0.8.2 with some cool additions. Wave to your device

Check out the new version because the new features are really cool.


New features

• Control foobar now with media buttons (like with a headset or 3rd party apps) (only for PRO version)
• Fully compatible with WaveControl app (available on Play Store)  (only for PRO version)

Solved issues:

• Solved a problem where widget could not be clicked
• Fixed a crash in Managing Playlists with older Android versions

Known issues:

• Double click on headset button to skip to next song doesn't work fine sometimes

The main addition to this new version is the ability to control the app (thus a foobar2000) with any hardware or software capable of sending media actions like Play, Next, Fast Forward, etc.

I've put special attention to Wave Control which is a really cool app that using the device's proximity sensor will do an action like Play/Pause, Previous, Stop, etc.

It's available in the Play Store and it has a free and a paid version.

Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarksThinkTank.WaveControl

Paid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MarksThinkTank.WaveControlPro

The free version is pretty cool but believe me, the paid is (much) BETTER.

Look at this quick demo I've recorded with the foobar2000 controller & Wave Control working together.

New version 0.8.1c. Improvements for PROs and newer Androids

I want your feedback. New poll created.

I've added a poll on the blog with the goal of getting all the feedback I can get from your to try to improve the accessibility of the user interface.
I want to know what's that you use the most. Do you use Settings all the time or the playlist view button is the most one clicked?


Please vote on the poll and and feel free to leave your message anywhere in the blog, by e-mail, twitter or facebook.


P.S. You may select more than one option.

New version 0.8.1. A taste of Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich sweetness

With version 0.8.0 tablet users with Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich lost the ability of accessing the menu, thus rendering the app partially useless..

With this new 0.8.1 version users with Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich (both tablets and phones) will enjoy a new Interface sporting the so-loved-by-Google Action Bar and will have the menu back. Also is using the last Holo theme, which is pretty cool in my opinion..

Also, move to SD is enabled finally.

Release notes

New features:

• New interface for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich devices.
• Move to SD enabled.

Solved issues:

• Users with tablets running Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich could not acces menu.

Here I leave a couple of screenshots of ICS devices.
