Foobar Advanced Controls

Advanced Controls component v0.5 for Foobar2000 v0.9

Download | Skins

Let's control most the playback functions of Foobar2000 from icons in the Taskbar Notification Area (that is - the tray)

In a very small space (2 tray icons wide), you have the playback functions (Play / Pause, Stop / Load, Previous, Next) and the volume or the seeking bar. Plus, a right-click menu with all these functions, and more!

A popup balloon appears each time a new song begins (or on demand - hotkey), to tell the title of the song. The balloon can be disabled, and the info displayed is customizable with the advanced title formatting provided in the Titles Formatting preferences. The balloon is not available in Windows 95 and 98.

The Delete Current File function deletes the file that is currently playing. It always asks for confirmation and put the file into the recycle bien if possible, so you won't delete files without intending to. Note: This feature may not work with unicode-named files.
