FoxyTunes for Internet Explorer

First steps | Basic operation | Tips | Advanced operation | Configuration

• You should see this icon on the FoxyTunes toolbar.
• Clicking on this icon brings up the FoxyTunes main menu.
• Choose Player and select your media player.
• That's it! You are ready to start using FoxyTunes - you can control your media player and see what's playing.

Please consider taking a vote for your player to let us and everyone else know you are using the player and like it. We will try to add support for the most popular players first.

FoxyTunes will launch the player application if it is not running and you push one of the FoxyTunes control buttons.

Tip: you can reposition FoxyTunes so it takes up less space. More info here.

• The five basic playback buttons are: Previous track, Play, Pause, Stop, Next Track.
• The "Track Information" icon allows getting the title and time information about the currently playing track. Just hover over the icon with your mouse.
• The "Play File" button allows playing file(s) without opening your media player. This option is a bit restrictive by its nature, so if you want to do something more advanced with your play list, just pop up the player.
• The "Show Player" button pops up the player window, so you can conveniently perform more advanced operations not available in through FoxyTunes.
• The "Hide Player" button can be used to hide the player window when it is no longer needed.
• The volume control panel has a mute option and a volume slider. The slider can be collapsed and un-collapsed using the small triangle icon next to it.
• The buttons panel and the current track title panel can be collapsed (separately) and un-collapsed to save space using the small triangle icon

• FoxyTunes can be used just as a volume controller, even if it doesn't recognize your player. Just hide all the buttons except the volume controls and select GenericPlayer form the Player menu. Currently this is only available on Windows.

Non-english titles and track data

If the track title is in a foreign language (Russian, Hebrew etc.) you can still have it displayed correctly in FoxyTunes. Open the main FoxyTunes menu and choose Character encoding. Choose the appropriate encoding from the All submenu. FoxyTunes will remember this setting, and also will put this encoding to the "Recent Encodings" list in the "Character encoding" menu.

The Configuration submenu has several options to further customize FoxyTunes.

• Check for Updates Automatically - when this is selected, FoxyTunes will automatically let you know when a new FoxyTunes version is available.
