Is there a plugin to download album art
Biography script (for Spider Monkey Panel) can also auto- download missing album art from Last FM, usually at around 600x600 in decent quality. It also gets artist photos and texts (all optional)

Spider Monkey scripts you like?
The "big three" scripts by WilB are invaluable to me - Library Tree is closely approaching the best library viewer foobar has seen, it already mimics a lot of Facets, and the next version will apparently bring it even more in line with that. Biography auto-downloads and displays artist photos and missing cover art, and lets you read those in-depth artist wikipedia articles directly in foobar. And then Find & Play lets you listen to albums you do not even have yet - wondering what else the currently selected artist has done? In one click you can see everything they've released and load an album into a playlist, ready to stream from YouTube. (I mean, come on!)

Library Filters - display genre only if filepath match expression
Yes, these scripts are fantastic and can be used in any layout to get a nice look. Also check out Biography script by the same guy (WilB)

One of my mini themes - "foo_sidebar" - a foo_flowin flyout
The theme is basic DUI tabs, toolbars, Playlist View / Manager, Musical Spectrum, Waveform Seekbar, horizontal scrolling lyrics by ESLyric, Text Display for track info, SMP scripts for top menu / close button and lower status bar, and the ever present Biography and Library Tree scripts by WilB.

Questions from someone considering migrating from Spotify to foobar2000.
It really is a pretty outstanding bit of javascript that a lot of people have probably overlooked. (One of three big scripts by WilB, along with Biography and Library Tree)

Component to get metadata from Wikipedia ?
The latest Biography script (for Spider Monkey Panel) retrieves and displays Artist / Album articles from Wikipedia, along with AllMusic and Last .fm. It has limited tagging options primarily for GENRE, STYLE and MOOD from those sites.

Trouble with Spider Monkey Panel
Curious why are you using such old versions? SMP 1.3.0 was over three years ago. And Library Tree is 2.4.0 currently with tons of improvements since the first versions.
-
Tagging songs with multiple genres and having them display in each genre
The current version of Library Tree, on the other hand, has tons more features and is "stand-alone" that can be placed in any user-made theme. (foobar is a "make your own" player)
-
Upgraded and lost layout. Possible to get this back again?
Also once Spider Monkey Panel goes 64-bit (hopefully soon as well), the Library Tree script replicates much of what Facets did including album art views, multiple filter panes, and even does some things better like highlighting now playing. (I would not be surprised if we get SMP updated before ReFacets)
-
Can I get Album List to ignore the prefixed "The" when sorting by folder structure?
Are you still using Album List or did you install Library Tree (w/ Spider Monkey Panel)?
-
Library Tree - how do I ignore "the" when sorting by name?
Firstly, which theme are you talking? (If Eole, if I'm not mistaken it still uses old versions which have limited features compared to the current version of Library Tree script)

ReFacets: album art?
Since you are on 32-bit, you can install Spider Monkey Panel and put Library Tree in there. As it shows on the screenshots, you can put two panels next to each other, and setup the view / source to show Artist -> Album covers, similar to Facets. (Library Tree has quite a lot of view options, including tree modes, list mode / columns, cover art and flow modes, and then lots of options on top)
-
How do I make album art appear in the Columns UI?
If you're on 32-bit, install Spider Monkey Panel and add Library Tree script.
-
What is the best way to organize music that includes a lot of featured appearances?
With a library viewer like Facets or Library Tree script, in a single column / tree you can combine multiple fields - %%|%% - identical artist names will be merged into one entry. This way clicking the one name you get a complete list of an artist entire works, including features, appearances, etc (as many tags as you add). Alternatively, you can do the opposite with each tag in a separate column / tree branch, to filter the featured artist under / next to the lead artist. (I've never tried to set that up in a tree though it could be interesting!)
