Contextual menu

On this page, I've just got together some parts of different pages about the contextual and added the missing descriptions.

<img src=context1.gif>

  • Remove: will remove the file from the playlist
  • Crop: will delete all the files not selected and keep the selected one in the playlist
  • Show file info special: see here foobar2000:Tags
  • Fix mp3 header:To correct the length of your files for a gapless reading (see here for more information)
  • masstagger: See here:foobar2000:Masstagger
  • MP4 utilities:
  • Convert to mp4: will put the file in an mp4 Container. You can choose to do it in the same directory or not. See here foobar2000:Tags.
  • Extract mp4 track(s): will extract the contained file and give it back into its native format. You can choose to do it in the same directory or not. See here foobar2000:Tags.
  • Optimize mp4 layout: It restructures the layout of the MP4 a bit IIRC.


  • Convert: See here Foobar2000:Diskwriter
  • Database search: will search in the database the info linked to the selected field. For more information, see here: Foobar2000:Database search
  • Create ogg preview: will create an ogg preview of the file, it is not an ogg converter.

To configure it:

  • Search command: will search an action to perform (quicktag replaygain etc..) just type the wanted action.
  • Write Audio CD: For more information, see here Foobar2000:CD writer
  • Edit:
  • Cut tracks: will do the same as Ctrl+X: copy the file in the clipboard and removes it from the playlist
  • Copy tracks: will do the same as Ctrl+C: copy the files in the clipboard.
  • Collect tracks: will add the track(s) to the clipboard with those already in it
  • Paste tracks: will do the same as Ctrl+V: paste the tracks at the end of the playlist
  • Insert tracks: will insert the tracks before the selected file


  • Play: will start to play the selected file
  • Database:
  • Reload info from file(s): will reload the tags and information from the file instead of from the database
  • Reload info from files if changed: will see if the file has been changed since it has been added to the database and reload info only if it waschanged
  • Rewrite tags from database: will rewrite the tags into the file from the database, useful if you did something wrong with the masstagger
  • Remove tags from files: will remove all the tags from the file
  • Remove file from the database: will removce the file from the database (not itself)
