This is the first real update of the v2 release. It fixes a crash, squashes a few bugs, and adds a bunch of long requested features by users. It's a pretty significant update and I probably should have called it v2.1.0, but my therapist says I tend to downplay things too much. Enjoy!

2.0.2 Changelog

Changes

  • Rewrote volume bar code and removed tooltips in favor of on screen volume display.
  • Prefetching first 10 artworks in playlist
  • config file now contains a defaultSortString value which will apply to all playlists generated by hyperlinks, or by selecting entries in the library
  • Added limited support for foo_discogs and 3 values in the metadata grid ("Label", "Catalog #", and "Release Country") were updated to their new defaults. If you need to reset these, consult your backed-up config file.

Added

  • Spinning cdArt. This is somewhat experimental, increases CPU usage, and depending on screen resolution it can increase foobar's memory footprint up to 1GB. Use at your own risk.
  • Option to always show bitrate and sample rate in playlist (thanks @noblesigma)
  • Smooth scrolling in the playlist

Fixed

  • In some cases, embedded lyrics cannot be retrieved by foobar. Added an onscreen explanation of how to fix this problem.
  • No more stale artwork when playing from a stream
  • Fixed crash in volume bar introduced in 2.0.0
  • "Expand" was always disabled in the Library right click menu
  • Lyrics could not be loaded for songs or artists with a : in the title
  • Play/Pause transport button was not being updated when a song started/stopped
