FooBar2000 Setup

1. Go to the FooBar component "Now Playing Simple"'s site here and click "Download".
2. Unzip the package by extracting it into a folder and find the file named foo_np_simple.dll.
3. Open FooBar2000, go to File -> Preferences and click the Components section on the left.
4. With this window open, drag foo_np_simple.dll into the installed components window and Foobar will install this component.
5. When it is finished installing, the component font should be a solid black color (not greyed out) and should appear in the list of installed components.
6. Close and re-open Foobar2000.
7. Go to File -> Preferences, click the drop down arrow beside Tools on the left and click Now Playing Simple.
8. This opens up the UI on configuring the component.
9. Check the "Save to file" option at the top if it isn't already.
10. In the "..." box, choose your Documents folder.

• If you do not know where that is, here is how:
• Click your File Explorer icon, or right click the Windows icon on the bottom left and choose "File Explorer". On the very left under the Quick Access section, right click "Documents" and click "Properties". Copy the path beside the field "Location:".

11. Now that you have your path to the foobar root directory, set it as such but add the suffix "\playback.txt" to your path. It should be <path to foobar root directory>\playback.txt. Now, replace every single \ in the path with /.
12. Set encoding to UTF-8.
13. "Log mode", "Delay for (ms)" and "Copy to clipboard" should be left unchecked.
14. Click the "Events" button and make sure that "On new track", "On pause", "On stop" are all checked and leave "On every second" unchecked.
15. In the formatting string field, copy and paste this into the field (without changing it):

$if(%isplaying%,
$if(%ispaused%,
paused
,
playing
)
,
stopped
)
$crlf()
%title%
$crlf()
%artist%
$crlf()
%length_seconds% 
$crlf()
%playback_time_seconds%
$crlf()
%filename_ext%

16. When you are done, click OK.
17. Make sure you have foobar2000 open and start playing music.
18. Open your terminal and type npm run foobar to start the Rich Presence integration for FooBar.
