Version history:
2012-02-04 View full changelog foobar2000 v1.1.11 stable has been released. Various bugs have been fixed again; the deadlock detection feature has been toned down - in stable releases it will no longer kill the app due to slow operations on large music librarie 1.1.11 Improved built-in crossfading functionality, new fading configuration in Preferences / Output. Fading functionality available with built-in DirectSound mode only. New .fb2k-component file type extension for foobar2000 component packages. Fixed some potential security issues. Added type-find in the default playlist view. Added support for album art in APEv2 tags on MP3 files. Fixed more WAV handling bugs. Converter update - now you can restrict specific encoder to run in one thread only. Experimental deadlock detection (beta 2) After long periods of apparent UI unresponsiveness, the application will automatically terminate and produce a crash report. Cleaned up advanced preferences for MP3 tagging (beta 2) “Force preferred tagging scheme” option gone - use the “MP3 tag types” dialog to convert between different tag types.

"The cognitive abilities and patience of a spoiled child"? Well, as long as we're getting personal, here goes ... I've been using computers for over 30 years. Starting with CP/M. I've had real, actual training. Going back 25 years. Including Unix and C programming. I actually know what proper interface design and documentation standards are. And, despite the fact that I use foobar and feel it is the best freeware program of its type, it has neither. And while I find this type of site useful for learning things, I don't like getting flames by poseur know-nothing pseudo geeks.

Foobar2000 only has a "learning curve" for its standard feature set, and the features of the more popular plugins, if you have the cognitive abilities and patience of a spoiled child.

Downgraded ease of use because the learning curve for configuring it is just silly, even by open source standards, and the documentation stinks. But ... as a category in general, audio players seem to stink, and this one is the best I've found. It works very well once you've installed some plugins for organization like foo plorg. It has a light footprint and it's fast. Unlike other ones I've tried, and very quickly uninstalled, it doesn't try to hijack all your file associations. Plus it's the most highly recommended Windows player by Benchmark Media. That means more to me than 100 comments by pseudo geek posers and paid shills the other players foster. However, if VLC had ASIO/WASAPI support I'd probably use it for music as well as video.

This was, is and will always be my favourite CD-Ripper and Audio-Player. The tags of Mp3-files can be edited with my favourite Tag-Editor - Mp3tag. Thank you so much.

Best audio player/converter of all time, I love the interface, easy, friendly and clean. It consume very low resources. The perfect player to handle thousands of files. The new beta works incredibly stable.

The finest audio player in existence. Excellent add-on components that cover just about all audio needs. Highly customizable interface. (I recommend Facets.) Low resource usage. Updated regularly.

great program but the interface is almost completely useless and hurts functionality to a great deal

This is a great tool/player - I mainly use it for converting my FLAC files into ipod-compatible copies for iTunes. It works great for that - the conversion, tagging etc is first rate.

Top of the food chain. The tabbed playlists and support for VST plugins make it a standout product. I've tried many different players over the years- this is by far my favorite.

I've tried many mp3 players. This is one of my favorite. I don't use the Library function so I don't know how that function compares with others.

GREAT tool! easily organises your music library and has a ton of features for those who care about their audio and quality. Its easy to convert a cd to a variety of different codecs with tons of options. The collumns_ui addon is also great, looks just like itunes or any other music library. I definitely recomend this for anyone who wants a quality player and quality rips.
