What's new

v2.1 [Feb 2, 2013]
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 WASAPI Exclusive timing glitches with exotic settings.

v1.3 beta [Oct 18, 2013]
- More bugs have been fixed;
- Default settings for the large metadata field handling feature have been relaxed;
- FFmpeg has been updated to the latest version (2.1).

v1.2 [Feb 9, 2012]
--Bug fix: 1.2.1 regression - rare crash on specific malformed files.
--Bug fix: worked around MS listview bug - disappearing Converter preset list in certain scenarios.

v1.1 [Oct 4, 2010]
- various known regressions from the beta versions have once again been addressed.
- new codebase spin-off, Boom Audio Player.
