=====Get it running=====
Here is a step-by-step tutorial, helping you to get ""FoobarSync"" installed and running.

====Check requirements====
	- Windows PC (XP or above
	  tested with Windows XP, 7, 10 (32/64 bit)
	- Windows Scripting Host
	- ""foobar2000"" 0.9 or higher
	- COM Automation Server (foo_comserver2,  [[Download|download]])
	- ""FoobarSync"" latest stable version, ([[Download|download]])
	- ""FFmpeg"" binaries ([[Download|download]])

	- open a command prompt and run following command
	  ''cscript.exe''
	  {{image class="left" alt="Tutorial Screenshot" url="/wikka/uploads/AdminFiles/Tut1Image1.png"}}::c::

	If you get an error like "//unknown command//", //Windows Scripting Host// is not installed on your PC - read on [[WSH|here]]. 

====Install COM Automation Server====
	1) downloaded installation file and run the EXE.
	1) just complete the installation wizard.

====Copy needed files====
	1) open the downloaded ZIP-file that contains latest stable ""FoobarSync""
		- extract //sync.vbs// into the same folder as ""foobar2000"".exe
		- extract //tutorial.id// into the root of your empty USB-Stick
	1) open the downloaded ZIP-file that contains ""FFmpeg binaries""
		- extract //ffmpeg.exe// and //ffprobe.exe// into the same folder as ""foobar2000"".exe

====""Select items in foobar2000""====
	1) start ""foobar2000""
	1) prepare some items in your Medialibrary to sync:
		- select __one single__ album of your choice for this test
		- open Masstagger and //add a new field// named ''""SyncFlag""'' with single value ''""Target1""''
		- apply/OK will save the changes to your Medialibrary.

	1) Prepare a playlist for sync:
		- create a new playlist in ""foobar2000"" named ''""FoobarSync Tutorial""''
		- drag'n'drop **one** __other__ album of your choice in this playlist
	
====Run your first analysis (without sync)====
	1) open  / switch back to command prompt and navigate to the location fo ""foobar2000"".exe
	1) run ''cscript sync.vbs tasks=mptr''. You should see following output:
	   {{image class="left" alt="Tutorial Screenshot" url="/wikka/uploads/AdminFiles/Tut1Image0.png"}}::c::
	
	   Open windows explorer and take a look at your stick. Explore the folders on your stick to see __how it will__ look like - but you specified 't' in paramater Tasks and therefore no synchronization will happen when you continue.

====Run your first sync====
	1) open  / switch back to command prompt and navigate to the location fo foobar2000.exe
	1) run ''cscript sync.vbs tasks=mpr''		(now it's no test)
	   {{image class="left" alt="Tutorial Screenshot" url="/wikka/uploads/AdminFiles/Tut1Image3.png"}}::c::

=====Modify configuration file=====
	- open //tutorial.id// with a text editor (notepad.exe will do)
	  These configuration files should be located in the root of each of your targets. They hold all important information. You maybe want to take a look in section [[IDfile|configuration file]] and try some first modifications to the //example.id//.

**Now it's a good time to add some comfort to your ""foobar2000-installation"". 
[[TaggerPanel|Follow the TaggerPanel Tutorial]] any enjoy to select and deselect items for your targets with a single click.
