Installation
1. Download PocketBar using the link above.
2. Open the zip file and run setup.exe (you may need to extract the contents first)
3. Open foo_controlserver-1.0.2.zip and extract "foo_controlserver.dll" to "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components\" (or wherever you installed foobar2000). You don't need the other files in that archive.
4. If foobar2000 is running, restart it.

Displaying album art
Put your album art images in "/Program Files/PocketBar/AlbumArt/". The filenames should be in the format "Artist - Album.jpg". Invalid characters should be replaced with an underscore. For example, the album art for "Megadeth - Still Alive...And Well?" should be named "Megadeth - Still Alive...And Well_.jpg"

For display on a normal 240x320 device, the images should be 95x95 pixels in size. For display on a VGA device, the images should be 190x190.

Note: You need this version of foo_controlserver. Other versions will not function properly with PocketBar.

* Pocket PC 2003 or later
* .NET Compact Framework 3.5
