Software Update: Foobar2000 0.8

On the Foobar2000 internet site, Forage came across a new version of the media player Foobar2000. This program is an advanced audio player for Windows platform. One of the most important features is the support for a large number of different audio formats. Another interesting feature is the ability to build and customize the player yourself using extensions. In the latest version, namely 0.8, there are a lot of things again altered†

• almost all components starting from some 0.7 beta SDK still work, though recompilation with new SDK is recommended to take advantage of new features
• “open” dialog now lists supported file types
• file modification time tracking, goodbye “reload file info”
• file size tracking
• new menu item config, massively improved menu system
• improved matroska component (fully extendable through third-party components, improved speed, etc)
• fixed UI glitch in mass tagger
• masstagger scripts can be now exported to files
• new disk writer
• new album list
• replay gain shows total progress
• toolbar menu now completely fakes regular menu behaviors
• found a way to get rid of dreaded beep when pressing alt+key
• various minor UI tweaks, improved playlist tabs
• fixed multimedia keys displayed in shortcuts page
• AIFF input fixes
• FLAC input fixes
• SDK side change: all uppercase/lowercase character conversion had to be moved to utf8api, some string8 methods are missing (replaced with utf8api functions)
• new icons, thanks to picmixer
• improved drag&drop support, thanks to foosion
• improved command line handling (wildcards, relative paths, etc)
• integrated commandline tagger in foo_masstag.dll, run foobar2000 /tag:help for info
