Software » Audio Encoders » foobar2000 2.1.5 / 2.2 Preview

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 very old and very rare lockup when opening Album List.
Some CPU usage optimizations backported from 2.2 series.

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.

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.

Latest revision of APE format is supported (Monkey's Audio 10.09).
Updated WavPack to version 5.6.0.

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.

These components previously included with the installer are no longer optional (features always enabled):
foo_rgscan
