| foobar2000 2.25.7 Feb 19, 2026 |
Fixed a regression causing crashes when trying to sort a large playlist that is currently playing. Windows: Restored GDI rendering of album art & visualizations by default, Direct2D is opt-in, to prevent GPU driver bugs breaking default foobar2000 settings. Fixed a bug in SMB code that prevented password-less user logins (other than guest user) from working. |
| foobar2000 2.25.6 Jan 23, 2026 |
Urgent fix for "error 380" bug introduced in latest Windows 10/11 updates. If your music files are in OneDrive or other cloud-backed folder, we strongly recommend upgrading foobar2000 to avoid erratic behaviors when editing tags, as there's no confirmed fix available from Microsoft at this time. |
| foobar2000 2.25.5 Jan 2, 2026 | Corrected a regression in 2.25.4; incomplete removal of foobar2000 v2.0 beta code leftovers resulted in crashing on a fresh profile. |
| foobar2000 2.25.4 Dec 31, 2025 |
Refined workaround for foo_tags (M-Tags) component bugs. No longer hammers all subsongs when starting playback. Default User Interface: made cycling tabs by keyboard shortcuts cancel tab rename in progress. Converter: Made "no DSP reset" explicitly shown in overview, as it's dangerous if enabled unintentionally. Fixed various regressions with network shares in Media Library preferences page. File Operations: Fixed error with renaming files on redirected portable music folders. Fixed tag writing issues on fragmented/streaming M4A/MP4 files. Fixed bugs related to copy-paste of file-relative locations in portable installs. |
| foobar2000 2.25.3 Oct 29, 2025 |
Fixed very old race condition bugs in decoder merit management, potentially causing decoder to be listed twice. Fixed missing info reload when changing stream via toolbar dropdown. Workaround for stuck visualizations if playback ends while foobar2000 is invisible. Fixed LD & ELD AAC not being reliably sent to alternate packet decoders. Fixed Decoding Speed Test not remembering last used DSP chain. Fixed missing winsock init for SMB operations, causing all SMB access to fail if no other network features have been used first. Fixed bad interaction between WebDAV filesystem and media library. Workaround for foo_tags stuck info issue. Workaround for WAV headers claiming zero length. Fixed File Operations link vs portable relative paths. |
| foobar2000 2.25.2 Oct 5, 2025 |
Workaround for "database is readonly" crash. Fixed bad interaction of TAK album art reader with decoder merit management. Enabled album art reading & editing for: AC3/EAC3, DTS. RTSP appears no longer supported by Microsoft WMA runtime - made fail with correct message. Increased size limit for cover pictures embedded in MP4/M4A files or APE tags to 64MB; made refuse to write covers too large for foobar2000 to read back. Made MP4/M4A publisher field recognized. Fixed false errors when seeking in Matroska/FLAC with "verify integrity of played files". Made odd-sized covers rendered with correct aspect ratio in Properties dialog. Matroska seeking/chapters fixes: Fixed seeking accuracy regression introduced in 2.24. Verifier no longer complains about decoded vs reported duration mismatch on affected files (did in pre-2.24). Fixed a bug causing various window positions not to be restored if too close to screen edges. Suppressed flushing of pending visualization data when only running visualization momentarily disappears, fixes visualization going blank when resizing window with just one visualization running. Fixed issues with implicit resampling (WASAPI shared) vs low latency in smooth seeking mode. When doing both implicit resampling and channel remapping, do it in order that costs less CPU (resample then upmix, or downmix then resample). Console now sanitizes bad UTF-8 in received text instead of going off the rails. Fixed a bug that made files where tag reading fails impossible to add to playlist. Fixed glitches in playback error log on Wine. Fixed incorrect handling of non-alphanumeric characters in network passwords. |

| foobar2000 2.24.6 Jul 11, 2025 |
Enabled RF64 writing in Converter. Amended WavPack in Matroska interaction with Verifier. Added advanced preferences toggle for alternate multi-value MP4 tag storage - more compatible with specific apps but less compatible with others. Old versions of foobar2000 read both schemes. |
| foobar2000 2.24.5 May 15, 2025 |
Made live playback info manipulation match behaviors of old foobar2000 versions better, should fix Internet radio issues. Windows: Removed dotted lines from various treeviews, refreshed Album List tree looks. Windows: Fixed bad import of relative library paths when upgrading from portable install of old version. Windows: More verbose output on "open containing folder" errors. |
| foobar2000 2.24.4 May 1, 2025 | Various known bugs have been fixed. |
