A minimalist yet versatile foobar2000 skin with 3 (switchable) view-modes
and several nice gadgets like:
◆ a playlist-view with an integrated playlist-manager
a lightweight filesystem browser with quick-access to selected folders
... and the capability to sort files "in alphabetic order" or by "last modified date"
library- and
coverflow views
... to get a nice overview of your well sorted collection
a tree view to search and filter everything in your media-library
(including the stuff in messy unsorted folders)
a queue content editor to keep track of what's going to play next
... and some equally nice utility-buttons that help with recurring tasks like
quickly move & rename files and folders to a pre-defined structure
apply replay-gain (
and notice if replay-gain is missing)
set the output-device
open containing folder
change playback order

... you'll get the best out of the TripleQ theme if your music is structured in the following form:
(note the () and (
) buttons that help with that task!)
To allow having both sorted and unsorted stuff in your music folders,
any folder that starts with 2 underscores will remain hidden in the Library- and Coverflow views❗
(It'll still be visible in the Tree view and File Browser tabs)
