Open the zip file and run setup.exe (you may need to extract the contents first)
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.
If foobar2000 is running, restart it.

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

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.
