foobar2000 v1.0 beta 1

#17 Post by garbanzo »

it's true! believe it or not, foobar is approaching 1.0

1.0 Change List:

* New context menu structure - better out-of-the-box layout but less customizable.
* Built-in support for Windows Media and RTSP streaming.
* “Edit” menu operates on the currently selected object rather than always on the active playlist.
* Improved compatibility with multimedia keyboards.
* Improved, more customizable album art support.
* Portable installs now remember Media Library paths relatively to the install folder.
* Reworked Preferences: OK/Cancel/Apply buttons, new layout of standard pages.
* New options regarding selection viewer behavior.
* Default User Interface: new pseudo color code system for status bar and playlist view.
* CD ripping improvements

foobar2000 is categorized as "Audio - Players" right now in the database.

I've updated the listing to include the following categories:
  • Audio - Conversion
  • Audio - Identification
  • Audio - MP3 Tag Editors
  • Audio - Processing
http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=184

I did this because foobar is more than a player (although I personally use XMPlay for my listening purposes!).
I've been using foobar more for tagging, processing and conversion lately and thought it deserved to be listed in these categories.

Let me know if anyone disagrees.
is it stealth? ;)

foobar2000 1.6 is on the horizon: https://foobar2000.org/changelog

This version will only support Windows 7 and up, so the last compatible version for XP/Vista will be 1.5.5 (although there might be another 1.5 release between now and when 1.6 drops).

Andrew, I reverted the v2.1 change back to v2.0 as v2.1 is a preview version.
