The Official foobar2000 Thread

I've finally decided to give foobar2000 a try after years of using WinAMP. It's the ultimate in media player customizing. The only problem is that doing so is confusing as hell. I figure that there are other people on GFF that would like some help cuztomizing their foobar, so here's the thread.

Hopefully the GFF members will be more willing to help out with code than the people at the other forums.

What components do I need? How do I install this skin?

Well, what I did was send a PM to a guy with a setup that I liked and I asked him to send me his foobar folder. I'm planning on working my way up to being able to code something similar, but a little more to my tastes.

The columns that are in that setup are awesome. They're more or less like how I want mine to end up looking like.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How do I use the foobar built in tagger to add an Album Artist tag? Do I need to download a Masstagger plugin?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've more or less given up on playing around with foobar ATM. I simply don't have the time required to read through all of the tutorials to get it to look the way that I want. It's a really great program though and I'm hoping to be able to use it.

Anybody want to share set ups that they found particularly good? I need some more inspiration in order to design the "perfect" foobar for myself. Oh, and is there a version of this program for Mac OS X?
