While this strange situation appears in beta 2 maybe it's not related to it: I copied tags from a release and then removed them, as I wanted to remove embedded album art quickly. After I pasted fields foobar locks at updating. Clicking Abort button does nothing. If I tried to close foobar it would say:
Tag update: If you close foobar results will be lost, are you sure?
But can't close, so I ended process.
Process monitor outputs just: Process Profiling all the time
And process explorer threads looks this way:

Not much info but it's reproducible for me

after trying to exit foobar disappears but it process is live:

then I kill process
and BTW what is the format of the data in clipboard when I select fields then choose copy in properties?
I pasted the data in editor for future use, but when I copy it from editor and run foobar properties "paste fields" is grayed

Yeah, the main metadb lock seems deadlocked, so it can't even shut down right.

It's an alternative custom format, needed for the difference between "Paste" and "Paste Fields" to work.
Hm..., this is very strange to me as foobar wont play my files either - even after I restarted windows and downgraded to 0.9.6.9. I can play files with other players and I tried with changing output devices

Yeah, but how can I make what I pasted in editor to work with foobar "paste fields" if I copy that from editor, as I needed clipboard in the meantime for something else as I can't update my files?
[edit]Eh, silly me
I extracted archived config form one of Yirkha's autobackups and now I can play music again
I guess some configuration file got corrupted
Although the problem with pasting fields stays the same - I can reproduce it again

Have you tried with plain install with no additional components? And what kind of files?
ETA: So it was a damaged .cfg? Did you save the broken one so someone could look what happened?

You would have to use some clipboard viewer/manager which can load and save or just hold for a while whole clipboard data. Like the ClipBook Viewer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClipBook_Viewer) does with its .clp files.

No. Any type. Foobar locks at Loading... and I have to end the process

I guess. But I can make it if I try to use "paste fields" as described above then I can't even play files anymore
I renamed working backup as "autobackup.20091130-012520 - copy.zip" but it seems that the file got deleted. Luckily I had another working autobackup archive.

ok, thanks
[edit] it's not happening on portable, so maybe it's some component mistake

OK. If you have time to mess with this, it might be interesting to replicate it on a smallest system possible (portable with only a few components).
I renamed working backup as "autobackup.20091130-012520 - copy.zip" but it seems that the file got deleted. Luckily I had another working autobackup archive.
Each time a new backup archive is created, older files matching "autobackup.*.zip" in the profile directory are deleted, to leave just last this number of them.
I can't reproduce it on portable install with all components and same media library
Here is CSV (http://pastebin.com/m56f2d1f3) from process explorer after I paste fields and press update, then I press Abort, and after some time I end foobar process
[edit] I tracked down foo_softplaylist, but can't see what's this component doing
I'm pretty sure I've been getting this same bug.
