Nearly over the hump

Well the end of this semester is in sight, which is both good and bad.

Firstly the bad by next Monday I will have a good 70% of the total University work done (This semester anyway) but the last 30% is not going to be that easy.

The good is Christmas is coming, now I honestly and truly hate Christmas the whole hype and craziness over a single religious holiday is a joke. But I don’t care about all that I just want the time off to rest catch up on games from 2 years ago along with all the new ones.

Sounds like a plan but the holiday will be tainted by my university project… bleh well at least I can stay in bed late and just do a bit here and there. Should hopefully be able to actually recharge for a change.

On that note I will have to spent a few days sorting out my music collection its currently fubar so that means hours and hours of ripped, tagging and downloading in some cases. WMP states 582 hours but i know that’s wrong cause most of the tracks don’t even report there track length anymore so 12,000 Tracks seems a better representation(12,000 4 min tracks is 800 hours).

and speaking of Fubar I need to rebuild my Foobar. its getting there its going to take a while though

my original foobar setup

the little red T indicates no replay gain data which in this case means corrupt so you can kind of see what I’m up against.

my foobar mark 2

This version is still missing a lot of features and colour scheme, such as no lyrics or search and even the correct playlist layout. Though I have used this opportunity to change a few bits like album art but I’ll finish it another time. oh and I’ve already started writing my plugin for better playlist support but that probably going to have to wait until the new year.

Also you may notice a lot of those tracks are in 192kbps! Now that’s another reason to rip them again most of my tracks have been reripped into flac but there’s still a lot of tracks at below 320kbps 48khz which kind of annoys me (depends on the track).

but for now Its back to WMP for lack of any alternative.

you can make you own foobar as well just download Foobar 2000 and get modding and if you can be bothered there a few preinstalled setups and there are loads of plugins written by the community and even a few remade setups you can probably download. Though its only for the people who really want 100% control over there music and have the time to set it all up.

It can also be used to sync your iphone or ipod as well as stream to 360 and PS3 and everything else there’s even a milkdrop extension (project visualisation used un winamp)
