I use the iPodManager plugin for Foobar2000 to sync my music library with my iPod easily, since Foobar2k is my media player of choice it's easy to do.

What caught my interest about Foobar2000 was the PanelsUI plugin.

A few nights ago i was fecking around trying to get foo_ui_panels to run but i was having some issues getting it working. I ended up getting the same error msg.
It kept telling me that some files required a newer version of foobar2000, but... i was running 0.9.6 which i gathered was the latest.

Since i was getting sick of chasing down files --which, in the error msg didn't even state which version *could* be the latest-- i decided to throw it aside and settle on SongBird for iPod support.

To be honest with you i would like to give it a shot but i found myself downloading too many rar files containing .dll files that had to be extracted to foobar2000\components or \PanelsUI. This was due to the instructions in the readme.

Don't get me wrong, i was well aware of what i was doing, it's just that i didn't reap one benefit as i was still left with a black window. Not just that but i was kinda pissed that no-one had compiled an archive containing all the files needed.

I ended up downloading:
-foobar2000_0.9.6.exe
-fofr-fb2k-code-release-v0.9.1.zip (even tried extracting/replacing to install dir to no avail, hoping earlier version would work)

-foo_ui_panels.zip [v0.13.7]
-foo_uie_explorer_1.04.7b.7z
-thaframe pack.zip
-foo_uie_quicksearch.zip
-foo_audioscrobbler-1.3.16.zip

I think that was it, i had tried my best to get all the up-to-date releases. If i was sure that i had everything up-to-date i would have been positive that it was a problem on my end, like for instance if i didn't have the PanelsUI folder in the right directory (which i do mind you, just saying).

Any insight, or if i was to reach for the sky and say know of any links to a download containing all the needed files?
