i drive an old car so i don't have bluetooth, otherwise i'd just use my plex server to play music from my home collection in my car.

i have a very heavily customized copy of a foobar skin called fooayian. i changed the dark theme to white, and balanced all of the elements. it could be better but i'm quite used to how it is. i don't use this many tagging columns normally, by the way, only when i'm reviewing new albums. some are custom. left to right are, queue index, skip tag, disc number, rating, track no., parent directory name, filename, composer, album artist, artist, title, album, comment, length, genre, year, bitrate, extension, times played (dependent on metadata, so this entry disappears from my database often, unfortunately.), and last played (if this tag is present, it shows a check mark instead of the last time played)

here's a map of my keyboard shortcuts, because i sometimes have trouble remembering all of them, and of course i know you want to know. https://i.imgur.com/I4JiKx8.png

plex is easy to set up but if you have a lot of media, it's going to cram its cache folder on your system partition and there's no option to move it. you have to registry hack it to get it onto another drive. i've probably got around 2-3TB of media in it, and the cache folder size is 69GB. it also runs its scan nightly which is a little annoying but you can change when it's scheduled to do that.

i set up that foobar media server just now. it's dead simple. just have to know how to port forward. this is a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQRQ3dP0YKY
it looks great if you already use foobar. i bound an automatic playlist to fill itself with my favorite songs, and the playback capture looks like a nice feature as well. only downside is your PC has to be online for it to work (how else are you gonna stream your files dummy) and there's no browser support for this, so it's not like you're hosting your own local spotify or anything..

i still don't know of any foobar-based UPnP plugins that allow browser playback like on a PC, but i assume nothing stops you from installing an android emulator on a PC and doing this on there? just have to make a tunnel out to WAN i assume.
