After many RC releases, Foobar 0.7 final has arrived.

foobar2000 is a very recommendable media player. It is developed by Peter Pawlowski, who used to work on Winamp3. It uses a plain and simple UI - no skins, no fuss. While in playback mode, it approximately consumes 1.9 megabytes of RAM.

Changelog for 0.7 series of Foobar:

nuked compatibility with pre-0.7 components
massive changes in API: new menu_item class (replaces old contextmenu and componentsmenu classes) new audio_chunk class (affects input, DSP and others), playlist callbacks, replaceable user interface, visualisation support, utf8api.dll with utf-8 wrappers for
commonly-used win32 API calls, public config variable services, improved tag reading/writing APIs
added new contextmenu manager page
no more separate win9x/winnt versions (you just need proper utf8api.dll build for your OS)
changed .cfg file format
separated standard UI to a dll, now fully modular
corrected "mouse-drag-outside-playlist-area" behavior, now scrolls like old pre-0.4 listbox used to
some changes in titleformatting (third $pad param, $if3, %_playlist_total%)
new HTTP reader, using jnetlib
option to use custom system tray icons
fixed minor issue with playback stopping when user seeks past the end of track
added separate preamp slider for files that dont have RG info
new commandline parameters
new icon
fixed bugs in floatingpoint WAV input
option to create subdirectories according to filename formatting in diskwriter
range selection in ABX component (range display doesn't work with winxp silver theme, meh)
