To play a track
To play a track from either the search or playlists track lists, double tap on the track line.
To queue a track
To queue a track from the search or playlists pages, tap on the track title to select it and then tap on the 'enqueue' button on the bottom menu bar. A 'song queued' message will momentarily flash onscreen as confirmation.
To Close a Popup Menu or Window
Use the Windows Phone Back button (<--). This is standard Windows Phone navigation.
To Access a Page Menu
Tap on the '...' in the lower right hand corner of the page. The page menu will scroll up from the bottom of the screen with menu options. Make a selection or tap the Windows Back button (<--) to close the menu without making a selection.
Tap to Seek
On the 'now playing' screen, to 'seek' to any location on the track slider timeline overlay, you can manipulate the slider control in the standard way, or you can also just tap on the timeline where you want to seek to.
Tapping on album art area of 'now playing' screen
Tapping on the album art area will toggle display of the semi-transparent 'extras' overlay on top of the album art. That overlay contains extra menu options on the left side of the screen as well as a track seek bar at the bottom of the screen.
When exiting Foobar2000 Copilot, the app will note whether that overlay is displayed and will restore that state when you next bring up the app.
Extras Overlay OFF -- tap on album art area to toggle ON and OFF

Show Song Details Overlay
Also on the 'now playing' screen, you can toggle display of the 'song details' overlay in upper right corner of the album art area. You can access that option under the extras popup menu ('...'), see below. To exit this popup menu, tap the Windows Phone Back button (<--).
This overlay shows the track file type (MP3, FLAC, PCM for WAVs), the bit rate of playback, and the current elapsed time of playback.
You may have the same song in your library, but ripped using different file types, so you might have a MP3 or a FLAC version. Also if you don't have the track slider overlay enabled, you can still see the track elapsed playback times in this overlay.
When exiting Foobar2000 Copilot, the app will note whether the 'song details' overlay is displayed and will restore that state when you next bring up the app.
Turn ON Song Details Overlay
Turn OFF Song Details Overlay
Tap to Fast Resume App
If you put Foobar2000 Copilot in the background by tapping on the Phone's Start button, and then navigate to some other program, to resume Foobar2000 Copilot, you can just tap on its icon again on the Phone's start page.
This will resume running Foobar2000 Copilot on whatever page you last left it at.
You can also hold down the phone's 'back' button and select it from the list of programs displayed in the App switcher.
Tap to quick jump
On the 'now playing' screen, sometimes you will see messages displayed toward the bottom of the screen indicating Foobar2000 Copilot is, for example, 'waiting for Wi-Fi' or 'connecting to foobar'.
On any of those messages, you can tap on the message itself to jump to the screen relating to that message.
So, for example, tapping on the 'Waiting for Wi-Fi' message will jump to the phone's Wi-Fi settings page. Tapping on the 'connecting...' message will jump to the server connections page.
These are shortcuts, versus having to select those options from the 'now playing' screen page menu.
Anytime in Foobar2000 Copilot you see a message ending in '>>' displayed on the 'Now Playing', you can tap on the message itself to quick jump to the relevant screen.
