You can usé it as weIl, I just Iike the original bétter) -Playlists drópdown v0.6 alpha 4 (foouieplaylistsdropdown) (link) This is needed for loading the theme, but if you are not going to use it, you can just remove it from the component folders afterwards. With pop music, the artist is 1st mentioned, then album title, and then name of song. The thing is, with classical (symphonic) music, the artist is further down the line in importance, the composer being the info wanted up front and the piece is not usually called a song. I have trouble understanding how dbpoweramp allows me the way its formatted, to reorder the album info and as a result, it all gets screwed up by the time I have the music on my Cowon J3. My question is: does Foobar make this operation simpler to understand. By the timé I get thé classical piece ón my Cówon J3 (and soon, the Hifiman HM-601, btw, I dont expect the situation to get any better with that UI, from what Ive heard on Head-fi) the artist is often, though not always listed 1st, after the track number. So I gather with your experience with this kind of software, youd still recommend Foobar over any other Ive tried MediaMonkey and find that it is quite a bit buggy. I was thinking of plumping down the 20 for the Gold but I dont have any faith that it would be any better.
