Title: Keeping Foobar from clearing playlist?
Post by: eman on August 02, 2018, 01:22:34 PM

I have Foobar as my default player, so when I double click an audio file, it clears my playlist and starts the file I double clicked. Is there any way to set a preference to keep this from happening? Also, with swapping out hard drives, they always go ahead and either rename themselves something close to random, or else Windows manages to remember the wrong drive letter. Is there some procedure to get your drives associated with the correct letter? My playlists and other things become useless with the wrong letter on the drive.

regarding the drive letter make it z or so w or something far down the alphabet.   windows will be much more likely to give it the same letter every time.

In Foobar:
File > Preferences > Shell Integration > Check Set "Enqueue" as the default action > OK
