=====Project status=====
	- Development was stopped in 2015 but you still get support at [[http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=108834|FoobarSync discussion thread on Hydrogenaudio Forums]]
	- April 2022 the script still is fully compatible with Foobar2000 (tested with Version V1.6.10)


=====Main features of ""FoobarSync""=====
	__**Individual (per target/device):**__
	- unidirectional delta-synchonization of **Medialibrary and/or playlist items** (Foobar2000 -> multiple targets)
	- selection of items/playlists to sync, based tags and regular expressions
	- File/Folderlayout based on [[http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=foobar2000:Title_Formatting_Reference|Foobars TitleFormat-Language]]
	- copy, conversion, codec selection based on tags and rules
	- deletion of ophaned files
	- limits based on total size, free space, max files
	- multiple search&replaces
	- nearly all codecs and container formats based on FFmpeg supported
	- statistics and preview
	- Command line interface (no GUI for now! Contact me if you like to design one).

=====What it does=====
""FoobarSync"" is an command line driven VBscript which will synchonize parts from your ""foobar2000"" Medialibrary and Playlists to one or more [[targets]] in a very flexible way.

Lets say you have a USB-Stick for your car entertainment system plus an Android device. Sure you want to have some music in your car and on your Android. But your car only accepts MP3 and needs a special folder-layout while your Android device plays many formats, but you want to save space and therefore want lower bitrates. And at least you want to have different albums and playlists in your car then on your Android. ""FoobarSync"" will help you to meet those demands plus more.

""FoobarSync"" will get a subset of items from your Medialibrary AND your playlists, defined by a search-query and other rules. The selected items can be defined per target (one configuration file per target). This configuration file is stored in the root folder of the target. When synchronizing each item is checked against the defined rule sets and then a) copied to the target **or** b) converted to the target. If your subset (choosen items) in ""foobar2000"" changes, these changes will get synchonized as soon as you rerun ""FoobarSync"".
