Download foobar2000 1.1.1 beta 2

The first beta release of foobar2000 version 1.1.1 was released on Wednesday and the second is now also available. This popular music player can handle MP3, aac, ogg vorbis, flac and ogg flac, wav and wma, among others, and has support for Replay Gain. Furthermore, the player can convert different formats and the program has extensive options to adjust the tags. In addition, it is possible to change the functionality using plugins to expand further. In this release, among other things, the first-run experience, which new users see when they start the program for the first time, has been improved.

Changes in foobar2000 version 1.1.1:

• Improved first run experience
  • With standard (non-portable) installs, foobar2000 Media Library defaults to indexing your music folders indexed by Windows itself.
  • Resetting Media Library preferences changes watched paths to the default, Windows ones too (on nonportable installs only).
• Improved compatibility with broken MP4 files.
  • A trailing ID3v1 tag doesn’t make the file unreadable anymore.
  • ID3v1 tags are removed from MP4 files on tag update for compatibility (will be logged in console).
  • File Verifier reports more errors with more information about broken MP4 files.
• Added support for .ogx extension (multiplexed Ogg files).
• Removed the “foobar2000 is scanning your library, please wait” dialog in favor of ML scanning after full startup and populating ML viewers etc. progressively later.
• Search filters and File Operations now use browse info properly (= eg foo_upnp remote metadata).
• Installer automatically restarts foobar2000 after installation if it was running before.
• Fixed a rare crash when closing the Preferences dialog in specific conditions.
• HTTPS support in networking services
  • This is mainly relevant to component developers. You can now access HTTPS URLs through filesystem and http_client services.
• Corrected erroneously swapped “Invalid data, received line length exceeds limit” and “Invalid data, full line expected” error messages.
