foo trackpos

foo_trackpos (officially known as Track positioner or Track Position) is a lightweight third-party component (plugin) for the freeware audio player foobar2000.

It specifically solves a common playlist management annoyance by introducing a “place after current playing” action to your player’s context menu. Key Functionality

When you are listening to a long playlist or shuffling music, you may find a track you want to hear next without disrupting the current song or resetting your playback queue. foo_trackpos provides that control:

Context Menu Integration: Right-clicking any track in your library or playlist reveals the “place after current playing” option.

On-the-Fly Queueing: Selecting this option immediately injects or shifts the target track so it sits directly below the song currently playing. As soon as the active track finishes, your chosen track plays next.

Behavior Settings: The component includes options in the foobar2000 preferences menu allowing you to decide whether tracks are moved from their current spot or copied to the active playlist. It also includes fail-safes to enqueue the tracks if your active playlist is locked. How to Install It

If you want to add this feature to your player, follow these steps:

Download the component file (it will have a .fb2k-component extension) from the official foobar2000 Components Repository.

Open foobar2000 and open your preferences menu by pressing Ctrl + P. Navigate to the Components section.

Drag and drop the downloaded file directly into the components list window, or click Install… and navigate to the file.

Click Apply, and allow foobar2000 to restart to complete the installation. Compatibility Note

foo_trackpos is an older, legacy component primarily developed during the 0.9.x and 1.x eras of the software. If you are using the modern 64-bit architecture version of foobar2000 v2.0 or newer, older 32-bit components like this one will not load unless the developer has compiled a modern x64 version.

If you are running modern foobar2000, you can achieve a nearly identical workflow natively by right-clicking a track and using the built-in “Add to playback queue” function.

If you are having trouble setting it up, let me know what version of foobar2000 you are running (32-bit or 64-bit), or if you are looking to create a specific kind of playlist automation so I can suggest the right plugin configurations!
