New version 0.9.0. New UI comes along with lots of improvements.

Since I released the new version 4 months ago, I've been working on this new version.

At first it can only look like a small layout tweaking and a few new additions, but, believe me, it's far more than that.

I hope my work is reflected in the robustness and performance of the app.

Check out the release notes and start using the new app to discover all new features and fixes.

I guess more than one will have the same question as me... Isn't Random the same as Shuffle?? http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ#random_shuffle_playback_order

How-to: "Using Media Library Browsing (a.k.a. "Advanced Query")"

In this mini how-to you'll learn how does the new "Media Library Browsing" feature works.

First of all, let's configure it in foobar2000.

1. Go to foobar2000 preferences > Tools > HTTP Control > Media Library

2. Configure Step 1 (mandatory), Step 2 (optional) and Step 3 (optional). They have to be a valid field like in the example above

Then let's see Android.

3. Go to Android and open foobar2000 controller app.

4. Select the second playlist icon.

In the example above, the first step will show a list of all the codecs in the Media Library.

Once you select a codec, there will be a list of all the artist in that codec.  ("FLAC" in the example)

Once you select an artist, there will be a list of all the albums of that artist. ("Coldplay" in the example above")

Then, once you select an album, there will be a list of all the songs in that album. ("Prospekt's March" in the example above)

There you can play a song (by single click on it), enqueue a song or enqueue all of them in that album (both by long click on it).

In order to go back to a previous step, press the "Back" button of the device.
