Software Update: Foobar2000 0.61a

satcp left us a short ( ) description of foobar: “Foobar2000 is a very compact audio player that prides itself on efficient memory and CPU usage. Foobar uses a 64-bit floating point decoder unlike for example Winamp and Windows Media Player; they have to make do with a 16 bit decoder.”

The latest version is 0.61a and has the following changes:

0.61a [hotfix]†
• corrected user interface glitch with incorrect dithering method names

0.61:

• some more user-friendly explanations in preferences
• one-time warning when trying to run win9x build under winnt
• made %_ispaused% work in playlist
• dithering now uses noise shaping, thanks to Garf
• apparently there’s no single thing intel compiler can do right, msvc6 build of foo_dsp_extra.dll is included again
• fixed handling of double-wchar character codes for unicode characters above 0xFFFF
• changing playback thread priority now takes immediate effect
• added %__codec% for WAV files
• added some n00b faq in metadb_handle.h to prevent idiots from using APIs in the wrong way
