How can I make the control buttons larger?
The other option is to use JScript Panel 3 scripts for playback controls. Not so easy to customize / add specific commands, but if you just want bigger play buttons... This guy posted some scripts (updated track_custom_v2.1.js a few replies down)
-
How to show title/info of song on layout?
JScript Panel 3 has a Text Display sample script. (The component supports practically all configs - foobar v1.6 / v2 / 32-bit / 64-bit / Default UI / Columns UI)

Can someone help me? When I move the arrow up and down in Foobar2000, the Playlist Organiser scrolls with the arrow. This is so incredibly annoying. I only want the Playlist Organiser to scroll when I scroll it. How do I fix this? I'm going insane! Help!
Download and install JSP3 component (v3.2.x) for foobar v2.

Is there an album-art panel for 64-bit that can cycle through multiple mages...
JScript Panel 3 with the included Thumbs sample

What happened to marc2k3 ?
You have JScript Panel 3 here: https://github.com/jscript-panel/release
-
Alternative to Playlist Organizer?
There is a JSP3 script version being worked on. You'll have to check this thread for updates. (And JSP3 is here)
- Finally upgraded to 2.0 beta
- Is there a plugin that shows the spectrum like spek?
-
how does one go about customizing foobar?
JScript Panel 3 is on both 32+64-bit if you want to add JSPs to a 64-bit foobar, and has most of the same sample scripts available, along with at least one exclusive.
-
How do I make album art appear in the Columns UI?
If you're on 64-bit, I think the only one available for now is JScript Panel 3 with the (included) Smooth Browser script. (And even on foobar v2 32-bit, this might be faster)

[curiosity poll] Since the release of 2.0, how many of us have switched to 64-bit...
I can't, I rely too much on the Georgia theme and it doesn't work without Spider Monkey Panel, which reportedly won't get a x64 version for the time being.
-
Are there safe/trusted places to look for skins? I've given up on trying to do what I want in columns UI.
I'm not sure but I do recommend Georgia from kbuffington

Where's the bluetooth receiver/dac?
It's not actually that much work nowadays. I just recently start ripping some last remaining discs. Musicbrainz plugin on EAC tends to make initial seeding accurate and Musicbrainz Picard for final tagging is pretty easy. On PC, I like the skin Georgia. Iade lots of minor layout tweaks over the years, but don't have the time/attention span to do anything fancy. https://github.com/kbuffington/Georgia

Is there an option for UI scaling?
Consider switching to Georgia: https://github.com/kbuffington/Georgia It's the only theme that I know of with DPI scaling for 4K monitors. Keep it mind that it relies on spider monkey panel which doesn't support x64, so you can't use it with the x64 version of foobar2000.

Vinyl Spin Plugin?
The popular Georgia and Georgia-ReBORN themes include a spinning-disc effect which supports both CD and vinyl art. This demo from Georgia's creator warns it is CPU/RAM-intensive, though - apparently "there's no way" (foobar limitation? spidermonkey limitation? javascript limitation?) to rotate the image in real time, so it has to render multiple copies of the image, each rotated by a few degrees (6 degrees per frame means 60 images, 4 degrees means 90, etc,) and cache all of these to cycle through while the album is playing.

Foobar2000
I've been using foobar2000 since the 90s. It plays music quickly, but I really love the extensive tagging and ripping functionality. Another plus is its interface skinning flexibility. There are recently made "modern" looking themes if that's your thing. I'm currently using Georgia[0].

Georgia-ReBORN - A Clean foobar2000 Theme
Georgia-ReBORN is a modification of [Mordred's original Georgia theme](https://github.com/kbuffington/Georgia) for foobar2000.

I did it! But.... What did I just embark myself into?
Nice setup! Since you are using foobar, there is a custom skin you can set up called Georgia. I personally like it since it gives foobar a more modern feel.

[Help] Eole is unstable and slow
When I first moved Georgia over to Spider Monkey I had the same popups when starting foobar with my HDD spun down. I discussed a lot with TheQwertiest who maintains FSM, and ultimately he came to the conclusion that nothing could be done on the Spider Monkey side of things. That meant I had to rearchitect the theme to load files asynchronously so that it wouldn't block everything when including files. Unfortunately that's probably not going to be something you can fix on your own easily.
