Good app, but there is an issue where if the app is running and an album switches, the cover art does not always change. I find this is for sure repeatable when switching albums within the same artist, and also seems to happen when there's items in foobar's queue. Would love if the Dev could look into this, as I use F "now playing" device on an old phone, and when cycling through albums it appears to be on the same one for many tracks. Thank you!

Thanks for this app! It works perfect on foobar2000 player. But, on DeadBeef player (on Linux): Playlist tab shows nothing. Now Playing tab works fine. localhost at 127.0.0.1:8880 works fine and shows all the details. Any ideas??

Hello, please consider adding a progress bar and track timings to the Album layout as an option, maybe minified. Also, there is an issue when interacting with the progress bar (seeking), we need to see time hints showing what seconds of the track we chose.

Very good idea. Will do.

What’s new

Custom fields
In addition to the standard track information, foobar Link now supports custom fields.
These fields are automatically transferred to the app, shown in the detail view, included when filtering, and can be used in custom layouts.
Custom fields are defined in Settings → “Custom fields”.
