Software Update: foobar2000 2.1.5 – Computer – Downloads

Version 2.1.5 of foobar2000 has been released. This popular, lightweight music player can handle MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAVE and WMA, among other things, and has support for Replay Gain. Furthermore, the player can convert different formats, the program has extensive options to adjust the tags and the interface can be completely customized to your own needs. In addition, it is possible to further expand the functionality with the help of plug-ins. Downloads are also available for Android, iOS and macOS, but they have a different version number and release schedule. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changes in version 2.1.5:

• 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.
