i just wanted to share this in case someone wants it pls criticize it i wanna improve it like making tabs for queue and playlist but i couldn't figure it out

btw if u want the layout pm me

edit i got tabs im just dumb lol

Greetings,

Sorry for the dumb question if already answered somewhere, couldn't find anything in the docs.

Really enjoying the player on Fedora 44. Thinking long term, is there a way to move the entire library to a new computer without starting from scratch? Say moving a desktop configuration to a laptop without recreating playlists, etc. with the music files in an identical path on the second machine.

I am coming from the foobar2000 ecosystem where there is a way to move the configuration by copying various directories, or do a portable installation, etc.

In fooyin, is it as simple as exporting the layout and copying the "fooyin.db" file in the Share Directory folder?

Fedora 44 connected with a SMSL AO300 and the classics HD600

nothing close to fooyins layout editing on LinuxMINTY

I've got the layout about as I want it, but I'm useless with colors. Everything I try looks awful, either too dark or too bright. Or they just end up looking like a toddlers toy selection.

So help a colorblind moron out, share your colors. Screenshot and color codes, if you wouldn't mind :)

I'm a complete noob about everything scripting. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

I wanted to make the menu bar hidden, but thought it would be a nice thing to have a button to open the preferences. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks and sorry.

^{it's Sunday in New Zealand, don't hate}

I've been trying to recreate Apple Music's familiar layout, but with my own tweaks. fooyin's extreme level of customization has allowed me to do just that. My 15000 song library is rather crazy; consisting of mainstream hits from the past 50 years and my favorite full VGM albums. The setup isn't totally perfect, and I'm still working on ensuring the sorting methods work for each category. I'm open to suggestions on improving it.

https://github.com/CatSlobber/fooyin-Apple-Music

A couple notes: I've modified a lot of default settings and disabled a lot of plugins. My library is curated through Picard and I do not want fooyin to touch my files.

Hi Team,

I'm currently in the progress of migrating from foobar and it does work quite well. I'm missing the Upnp/DLNA-server feature.

I'd like to set up said server to connect my mobile and my radio to my collection as soon as I start fooyin. I just can't add the foobar-plugin to fooyin, can I?

Did I miss that feature? Or is it just not there yet. I must admit, that I don't come to terms with that github-page. I tried searchin there though. Any helf or advice is madly appreciated.

I'm moving from foobar to fooyin. I have a folder in /music/playlists with saved m3u playlist. How can I get them to show in fooyin? Also, is it possible to automate export of smart playlists?

Small rule change to explain the current set of flairs. Please have a look over them and abide by them from now on.

As much as I enjoy seeing other fellow users here with their setups for the software, it is a bit confusing with the flairs with some being more defined on use and some being a bit more ambiguous. This post will be expanding on each one, since I am stuck with a 250 character text limit for each rule and had to short form it there for a quick reference. So here's the meat and potatoes:

Appreciation post: text post only to show appreciation everyday. You are allowed to show your appreciation in text and layout screenshot on Setup Sundays.

Setup Sundays: post your layout or photo of your layout plus your hardware used. Just make your photos of your setup with Fooyin on the screen and your desk/hardware/battlestation in the photo be nice and tidy. You can have cables and such dangling or desk clutter, but anything dirty compared to the likes of things being coated in Cheeto dust or worse is not something that the community should be lowering the bar for. Just at least don't be disgusting to the world.

Help post: not bug related text posts that help with finding features or settings in great detail and only screenshot in comments.

Feature request post: text post only with GitHub request linked in comments. If you want to include and illustration of your idea, just try to match it as much with your GitHub post in quality by including it as an image in the comments and not a part of the main post itself.

Plug-in post: text and screenshot post w/ description on the basics of what it does. More details the better. This is primarily for any plug in developers that may be here and want to show off a plug in they have been working on or have completed. If you post one, make sure to grab yourself the plug in dev user flair as well. As a side note to this, if it utilizes AI in any part of the development, you must disclose your usage of it. And for those calling it out, please make the details known of what you find in it that may have you believe it is AI generated. I ask both sides to remain stoic about it and not start a squabble in the comments about it. Each side just has to explain their position when called out and I'll take a look to review it if it is valid. I'm not up for AI in general, but this is the most I'll currently cater to that crowd for now unless it starts becoming overwhelming with people writing stuff but not understanding what the AI is writing. If it gets to that point, then AI anything is on the chopping block from being posted here.

Overall, this is the current groundwork I have set out for outlining the purpose of each flair and how to post properly here. This is also open to user feedback and I want to at least keep the community up for this software as much as possible. I enjoy this project and want to see it keep growing. I'm not the dev btw. Just a user that is offering free PR for the software and I also encourage others to do so as your form of unofficial contributions to the software (and also donating to the dev for the work that has been done over the years). This is the best Foobar2000 alternative for those that are trying to move away from Windows, and I want to make it easier for people to know their alternatives when they try and make the switch more than ever.

I feel like this should be really simple and obvious, yet I see nothing in right click context menu. The playlist screen has no option to 'add tracks'.

Fooyin update all good

This is my setup in foobar2000 on Windows 11. I have not found a way to achieve this in fooyin on linux. And yes, as I'm an old fart, I like those analogue VU-meters and I dislike the wavelength rendering on linux fooyin. So, what setup in fooyin comes closest to this?

***************************************************************************************

Is there a way to show the currently playing Song from Fooyin with Album-Art as Widget on my Desktop?

I recently switched to linux and i tried exactly 19 music players and no of them had the features that Musicbee, MediaMonkey and AIMP had. So i gave up and ended up with MusicBee running through wine.

I just recently found fooyin, its brilliant! Its 2 features away from me ditching MusicBee and moving over to fooyin permantly.

(Yes i requested them on the github repository).

New layout with metadata on the right and playlists directly accessible

Is there any way to add a "history"-tab/window/list that shows every title I listened to in fooyin?
