After playing around with it a little, i'm still missing some features from iTunes as Embedded Artwork and Quick Search.

So I reverted back to iTunes as GUI and foobar as music player

I already have foo_uie_quicksearch and I am in the process of adding album art now. I'll let you know how that goes =]

We have an update. =]



Added an album art panel. The above shot shows the default image shown if no album art is found. Below is a sample of when the playing song does have artwork.



Using foo_uie_albumart to display the art and foo_run and an external program to download them. What do you think? =]

Yeah I had that one too, but it makes that separate playlist which is ugly tbh, also almost all my songs have embedded artwork, but there's no plugin that uses this one.

Also my msgplus! script works with iTunes, I have to make it all over again if I switch to foobar.

If those 2 things, the iTunes like search and Embedded artwork would work I might think of switching, but how it is now, i'd better stay with iTunes + foobar.

I'm kinda using foobar anyway, iTunes looks nice and works good and with that I have foobar for the Kernel Streaming mode that makes sure the sound quality is top notch.

Ah right, guess you're stuck then. But using the pass-through is the next best thing. =]

Yes I know it's a double post but:

Another update.
This is my second view which I've created, press one button on the normal view (shown in previous posts) and voila! Up comes this baby:



Fancy ey? =p Press one more button on the toolbar and back it switches to normal. =]

I'm in the same boat as Ezra, using iTunes 7 with Multiplugin's passthrough option for Foobar. The only thing that annoys me is I cannot get kernel streaming working.
