+I'm in [[foobar_2000#Switching Away From Foobar|the process]] of making **Quod Libet** my [[music player]] software, after using [[Foobar 2000]] for ages. Maybe it's more accurate to say my music organiser, as I mostly play stuff with [[mpd]].
 ===== Notes =====
-  * auto playlists work like [[Foobar 2000]], in that they're tied to the search function.
+  * Auto playlists work like [[Foobar 2000]], in that they're tied to the search function.
+  * You have to jump into a separate window to edit tags (Alt+Enter), and this window doesn't change to hold whatever you've selected, but from there you can split-out Foobar's silly tag combinations.
+    * This uses [[#Ex Falso]], which you can also use stand-alone.
+  * You can add a column to display albumartist or artist with ''<albumartist|<albumartist>|<artist%%>>%%''
+    * NB That Quod Libet is anachronously labels what's more commonly the used as ''albumartist'' (''TPE2'') as ''performer''. If you tag something ''albumartist'' it will store it somewhere other programs wont read usefully. Quod Libet isn't //wrong// per the standard, but it doesn't match with the //de facto// usage popularised by Apple and iTunes.
+      * [[github>quodlibet/quodlibet/issues/1179|Will be fixed one day I guess]].
+      * Currently trying ''~performers'' for my column sort, and seems to be working okay?
+    * So ''<albumartist|<albumartist>|<performer>|<artist%%>>%%'' ??
+  * Sometimes it's real slow loading songs.
