foobar2000 change log

2.0

• Now available as x86 32-bit (legacy), x86 64-bit. ARM 64-bit version coming soon. 64-bit versions require updated versions of add-on components.

• Greatly improved performance of media library search queries that don't use %patterns%.
• Added album art in Default User Interface playlist view.
• Clickable rating stars in Default User Interface playlist view.
• New Default UI element: ReFacets, reimplementing most of Facets functionality. Old Facets component doesn't work with new 64-bit foobar2000.
• Improved Default UI splitter, now allows any number of panes.
• Added 'remember per playlist layout' to Default User Interface playlist view.
• Added 'stream selector' element to Default User Interface toolbar.
• New audio output device management features - unwanted devices can be disabled, bit depth and DSP can be configured per-device.

• New configuration data format, changes instantly saved to disk, no more recent changes lost on crash.
• Can display file creation time (%file_created%) and attributes (%file_attributes%).
• 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).
• More audio formats supported out of the box: TAK, APE, AC3, DTS.
• Updated FFmpeg to version 5.1.
• Improved Properties behavior if 'reload info' detects a change in number of chapters etc.

• Some Default UI Elements (ReFacets, Equalizer, visualisations) now also accessible as Columns UI panels.
• Internet Radio dialog (File menu), remembers previously played Internet radio streams.
• Modernized Explorer integration, no longer needs separate 32bit/64bit shell extension DLLs.
• Properties dialog now follows theme colors of the active UI.

• Added sample rate exclusions to SSRC resampler.
• Added crossfeed DSP from foobar2000 mobile.
• New console logging system, writes per-instance log files to the specified folder.
