I'm trying to get foobar to work with Rainmeter which isn't too easy when one is a newbie..
Downloaded, httpcontrol and winamp spam for foobar installed them to components.
And foobar with album cover from Devian Art, but not sure what do with the file.. it doesn't say.
(All I want is to see title name, time left and total time on the music)
From here I don't know what to do, have searched a lot but no wiser yet on the issue.

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
If you just want a simple player control skin, I've made several for foobar.
http://vonsmallhausen.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d30nvnz
And, personally, I'm using a real small and simple skin.
You can take a look at that to create your own (you won't be able to use it as is, need to set variables and all that).
And I would recommend to use spheck instead of spam.

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
Thanks now I have it up and running, need some cosmetic changes only.
Manage to change font size, but color and font type I still have trouble with. *fixed*
*Edit*
Oh and the title name changes bit slow when changing track, anyway to fix it?

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
Mine changes track title instantly. Don't see what problem you might have.
In foobar.
Go to Visualisations -> Speck.
Title formating; Current track: %artist% - %album% - %title%
or what ever format you want. But that is what rainmeter will read.

Yes got the song number out of the way now.
Noticed that some song names are too long, anyway to edit so they get more space?

Too long? How do you mean?

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
The song name should say "Black Noise - White Silent" but it gets cut on the S.

Set your [Rainmeter] section to something like this
[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1
BackGroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
[Rainmeter]
DynamicWindowSize=1
BackGroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
Awesome, thanks.
I notice that some songs have little too long names, sure they show up now but would it possible to get two rows like this?
Time / Artist
Song name

Re: Getting Rainmeter to work with Foobar?
Chewtoy, does your position string display "0:00 / 0:0-1" when f2k is running & stopped?
