Download Foobar2000 0.7

Foobar2000 is an audio player that can play different kinds of audio formats. It has been decided to use a 64-bit floating point decoder instead of the usual 16-bit decoder used by Winamp and Windows Media Player. For a good overview of what foobar2000 exactly means, look here.

Peter Pawlowski recently released version 0.7 with a lot of changes made as you can read in the following changelog:

• nuked compatibility with pre-0.7 components
• massive changes in API: new menu_item class (replaces old contextmenu and componentsmenu classes) new audio_chunk class (affects input, DSP and others), playlist callbacks, replaceable user interface, visualization support, utf8api.dll with UTF-8 wrappers for commonly-used win32 API calls, public config variable services, improved tag reading/writing APIs, improved input API, proper support for realtime file info changes
• added new context menu manager page
• no more separate win9x/winnt versions (you just need proper utf8api.dll build for your OS)
• changed .cfg file format
• separated standard UI to a dll, now fully modular
• corrected “mouse-drag-outside-playlist-area” behavior, now scrolls like old pre-0.4 listbox used to
• some changes in titleformatting (third $pad param, $if3, %_playlist_total%)
• new HTTP reader, using jnetlib
• option to use custom system tray icons
• fixed minor issue with playback stopping when user seeks past the end of track
• added separate preamp slider for files that dont have RG info
• new command line parameters
• new icon
• fixed bugs in floating point WAV input
