2.1.5
-
Removed gnudb from default online tagger settings, as gnudb now demands users to input their actual email addresses.
-
If you wish to use gnudb, you can configure it manually, but we strongly recommend against it.
-
Online tagger now defaults to freedb.dbpoweramp.com which works once again.
-
Changed storage of freedb-compatible server list settings, to a text file in profile folder.
-
Reverted compiler to Visual Studio 2019, as current version of Visual Studio 2022 outputs AVX opcodes when explicitly configured not to, making foobar2000 crash on old PCs.
-
ReFacets added "last modified" column, fixed playlist interaction bugs.
-
Converter: Fail harder if "don't reset DSP between tracks" is on and one of files can't be converted - output past the point of failure wasn't valid anymore anyway.
-
Fixed WASAPI Exclusive timing glitches with exotic settings.
|
2.1.4
- Fixed crash if freedb/gnudb server returns more tracks than asked for (regression since 2.0).
- Fixed very old and very rare lockup when opening Album List.

|
2.1.3
- Fixed foobar2000 v2.0 regression causing folder watch events to be dropped without triggering full rescan if there's too many of them pending.
- Stop decoding ADTS AAC when running into APE tags, instead of reporting errors.
- ReFacets performance improved.
- Fixed bugs in MP4 video codec name reporting.
- Fixed regressions in ASX playlist loader.
- Some of CPU usage tweaks backported from 2.2 series.
|

|
2.1.1
- Fixed ReFacets not tracking playlist tag changes.
- Fixed 64-bit installer crashing on Wine.

2.0
Support for modern processor architectures. Now available as
- X86 32-bit (legacy) - requires Windows 7 or newer.
- X86 64-bit - requires Windows 7 64-bit or newer.
- 64-bit foobar2000 requires 64-bit builds of components; it can not load legacy 32-bit components. However, at this time, most components have 64-bit builds available already.
- ARM - requires Windows 11 ARM device.
- Foobar2000 for ARM has been compiled in Emulation Compatible (ARM64EC) mode and can load components built for x86 64-bit. There's no need for component developers to specifically build ARM components.
User interface updates
- Dark mode support on Windows 10 and 11. Add-on components need to be updated to utilize it.
- Added album art in Default User Interface playlist view.
- Clickable rating stars in Default User Interface playlist view (with new Playback Statistics component only).
- New Default UI element: ReFacets, reimplementing most of Facets functionality. Old Facets component doesn't work with new 64-bit foobar2000.
- Improved Default UI splitter, now allows any number of panes.
- Added 'remember per playlist layout' to Default User Interface playlist view.
- Added 'stream selector' element to Default User Interface toolbar.
- Some Default UI Elements (ReFacets, Equalizer, visualisations) now also accessible as Columns UI panels.
- Made more edit boxes recognize ctrl+backspace.
- Fixed remembered main window position/size not respecting system DPI settings.
Configuration management changes
- New internal playlist format, changes instantly saved to disk, no more recent changes lost on crash.
- New configuration data format, changes instantly saved to disk, no more recent changes lost on crash.
- For non-portable installs, profile folder is now %appdata%foobar2000-v2. There is no need to back up old profile before upgrading, your foobar2000 v1.x profile will be left untouched.
- First run performs import of old configuration data (playlists, library).
- New full config reset semantics - now clears profile folder (optionally leaving user-components intact) instead of asking all components to reset themselves.
DSP technology updates
- Made possible to apply DSP config changes without reinitializing affected DSPs.
- Allowed DSPs to manipulate their shown name depending on preset data.
- Added crossfeed DSP from foobar2000 mobile.
- Added sample rate exclusions to SSRC resampler.
Audio codec technology updates
- More audio formats supported out of the box: TAK, APE, AC3, DTS.
- Latest revision of APE format is supported (Monkey's Audio 10.09).
- Updated WavPack to version 5.6.0.
- Updated FFmpeg to version 6.0.
- Libvorbis is now used for decoding Vorbis format instead of FFmpeg, as some rare files continue to cause compatibility issues.
- Cleaned up Ogg reader, made possible to seek in remote (HTTP etc) Ogg files.
- Made FLAC tag updater remove ID3v2 garbage prefixing FLAC stream.
- Made MP3 reader report MP3 frame count not matching Xing/LAME header info when verifying integrity.
- Fixed bad MD5 verification of AIFF sourced WavPacks.
- Added extra sanity checks to tag update operations in built-in codecs: made sure that attempts to remove covers from files that didn't have them in first place don't alter files at all.
Properties dialog updates
- Properties dialog now follows theme colors of the active UI.
- Improved behavior if 'reload info' detects a change in number of chapters etc.
- Updated Automatically Fill Values logic, better results if searched pattern appears more than once.
- Logs tag update errors to console.
These add-on components are now obsolete as their functionality is available out of the box
- Foo_benchmark
- Foo_bitcompare
- Foo_verifier
- Foo_input_monkey
- Foo_ac3
- Foo_sanitizer
- Foo_input_dts
These components previously included with the installer are no longer optional (features always enabled)
- Foo_rgscan
- Foo_cdda
- Foo_albumlist
Other
- Media Library efficiency improvements for very large music libraries.
- New audio output device management features - unwanted devices can be disabled, bit depth and DSP can be configured per-device.

- Internet Radio dialog (File menu), remembers previously played Internet radio streams.
- Modernized Explorer integration, no longer needs separate 32bit/64bit shell extension DLLs.

- Updated exclusive output device-specific workarounds.
- Compiled with Visual Studio 2022.

1.6.16
- Reverted 1.6.15 optimization with fast DSP reinitialization on manual track change.
This behavior breaks many third party components and can't be enabled by default.
It's now available as an option because it improves performance when using heavy-to-initialize DSPs such as new VST adapter.
|
