SyncRules
Table of Contents
Any source item (Medialibrary or playlist item) is matched against the rules to decide if it should be copied or converted (and which format). Rules cover items format, codec details and bitrate but also any TitleFormat-Expression can be used.
SyncRules are processed from top to button. The first matching rule wins and will cause the action (parameter 3, see below).

Parameter description
| Parameter 1 | Parameter 2 | Parameter 3 |
|---|---|---|
| source | BRrule | action |
| MP3 | >250 | VORBIS_96 |
| Parameter | describtion |
|---|---|
| 1 | source:
First, the source item's codec and codec profile is pulled from foobar2000 with the following TitleFormat-Expression: %codec%-[%codec_profile%]. Parameter source if compared with this. If it matches, BRrule is checked (see bleow).
Please note, that source may be a subset of %codec%-[%codec_profile%]. So if you define SyncRules=MP3*0*copy and a source items' %codec%-[%codec_profile%] is MP3-CBR, this will be true. Take a look at examplex below for a better understanding. To match ANY source codec just leave source empty (e. g. SyncRules=*0*copy).
You may use a TitleFormatting Expression as source. If - and only if - it returns the string 'T' it is true and next paramater BRrule is checked.
Take a look at examples below for a better understanding. |
| 2 | BRrule:
|
| 3 | action: Defines the action that will take place if source AND BRrule is true.

Examples
Here are some examples for better understanding.| Source item | SyncRules | result source | result BRrule | explaination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| %Title% is 'Secrets' | $if($strcmp(%title%,'Secrets'),'T')*0*copy | True | True | 'Secrets' is found the %title%, BRrule is '0' and therefore always true. |
| %codec%-[%codec_profile%]=MP3-VBR V4 | MP3-CBR*0*copy | False | True | Source is MP3 but not CBR. |
| %codec%-[%codec_profile%]=MP3-VBR V4 | MP3*0*copy | True | True | With this source any 'MP3' will match this rule. |
Tip
If you use a TitleFormat-Expressions as source, create a custom column in your playlist view and insert your expression. So you can check the result immediately in Foobar!- This page belongs to category ConfigurationFiles
