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.

    New release available 0.5! Added Media library browsing.

     Well, after a long month (or even more..) I've been able to release another version..

    The big improvement in this one is the addition of the ability to explore the Media Library by genre, artist, album (depending on  HTTP Control/Media Library settings).

    Check out the changes below.


    New features:
    • Added Advanced Query function (explore genres, artist,albums,etc.)
    • Added setting to keep or not the screen always ON

    Solved issues:
    • Improved speed and avoided FC in some cases
    • App crashed applying glossy effect if the album art was too big

    Known issues:
    • Volume control and rating not working 100% properly (thanks Martin)

    Please, before leaving a negative comment in Android Market ask here in the blog or by e-mail. Most of the negative comments are not because of the app but because of the configuration or even because of the device.

    Also, please leave a comment in the paid app if you buy it. Thanks! :D
