CaTRoX_QWR VS Find-and-Play

Two are taken from other themes. The biggest that I had the least to do with is the playlist viewer from the CaTRoX_QWR theme. I wanted to use it as a standalone panel and crudely hacked it out.

Beyond that, there are several Spider Monkey Panels. Some scripts are modified from the examples given, which—like the SQL Tree for SQLite—has served as a vehicle with which to teach myself javascript. The scrolling "Artist •[sometimes Composer •] Track" detail panel was modified from the TripleQ theme, and the playlist viewer was taken from CaTRoX QWR, though the version from Georgia REBORN has caught my eye of late.

I've ripped the playlist viewer out of the CaTRoX_QWR theme and am using it off-label, so I guess I'll bring my trouble here. It's in a simple Columns UI layout and isn't playing nicely with the standard CUI Filter search box. It may never have been intended to, but other Spider Monkey Panel playlists do; I'd like to try to make them work together.

Not sure, why its not in the foobar components page, but I found it from the CaTRoX QWR theme page - https://theqwertiest.github.io/CaTRoX_QWR/ .

So I'm trying some of the themes out there and looking for panels to raid from them. Right now, I have a CaTRoX QWR installation up. The playlist looks to have something I've been looking for: a nice drag-and-drop for moving tracks around. I like all the different times on display too, with the album length and selection length shown. I think I can work with the spectrum analyzer and inflict my color scheme on it, since I may have to bid farewell to my lovely foo-uie-vis-channel-spectrum at some point.

We do in a way, though it can be complicated to setup. Have a look at Spider Monkey Panel + Youtube Source + Find & Play script - it can make a library mix for local tracks, or remote tracks streamed from YT. (Be sure to get the latest beta of YT Source)

Yes, if you want to auto-tag artist/album names, use Find & Play script (w/ Spider Monkey Panel) to add tracks. Top left button will switch source to MusicBrainz to get complete artist discography - simply click an album to load to playlist. (The script searches YT to match tracklists, and maybe uses a popularity logic, might not always get the best track versions)

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!)

For music discovery in foobar, the best option is the Find & Play script, which pulls data from Last FM and MusicBrainz to get similar artists and load complete albums / tracks / music videos into a playlist, which you can then play streaming from Youtube (usually in OPUS ~148 kbps)

Find & Play script (for Spider Monkey Panel) is honestly pretty great. Makes it easy to get complete albums, tracks, music videos (etc) streamed from Youtube. It even has "Auto DJ" algorithm to load similar artists or genres into a playlist.
