Данное пособие предъявляет следующие требования к системе :

• Windows 2000, XP или 2003. Foobar2000 0.9 не будет работать на Windows 95, 98 or ME.
• Foobar2000 v0.9: Вы можете скачать его с foobar2000.org.
• Latest Columns UI: Вы можете скачать его со страницы автора.

I suggest you use a second installation of Foobar2000 into a different folder because we are going to mess up Columns UI’s config completely. Make sure to disable Enable per-user settings and Install for all users in the installer. Otherwise your current config file will be overwritten. After the installation unpack foo_ui_columns.dll from the downloaded archive into the components subfolder of the new Foobar2000 location. When you load Foobar2000 for the first time make sure to select Columns UI as the interface module.

For writing and analysing scripts I suggest using a text editor with syntax highlighting and only copy & paste the finished script to Foobar2000 in the end. Some users on the hydrogenaudio.org forums have even created specific Tagz syntax highlighting modules for a variety of editors including the popular UltraEdit, TextPad and Notepad++. If your favourite editor is not in the list, try its built-in C or C++ highlighting, which should work reasonably well.
