Show file info special : see here Tag displaying
Fix mp3 header :To correct the length of your files for a gapless reading (see here for more information)

MP4 utilities :
Convert to mp4 : will put the file in an mp4 Container. You can choose to do it in the same directory or not. See here Tags .
Extract mp4 track(s) : will extract the contained file and give it back into its native format. You can choose to do it in the same directory or not. See here Tags .
Optimize mp4 layout : It restructures the layout of the MP4 a bit IIRC.
Convert : See here Diskwriter
Database search : will search in the database the info linked to the selected field. For more information, see here: Database search

Edit the context menu
If you find that the contextual menu is too long or heavy, you can supress several entries and reorganize them as you want, which could lighten the use of foobar.You can Remove , Rename , move up/down or insert entries. It is quite straightforward and simple of use. If it is too messy, you can Reset the menu . Another proof of the foobar modularity.
