If you don't use vintage windows versions the clang builds of @JoshuaChang don't use fancy CPU extensions or fast-math and are as fast as it gets for that.
Define vintage Windows versions. The build will be used on PCs running Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 with Intel CPUs from 4th gen up to 9th gen. Mainly Windows 8.1 and 10, I must say.

After getting rid of the slow printing GCC compile seems to be faster here on Intel CPU.
So this one ? : https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,123331.msg1043493.html#msg1043493

For convenience I've compiled a list of compatibility fixes.

The wineprefix should be created with the WINEARCH=win32 environment variable, since winetricks has better support for 32 bit.

I installed the following verbs with winetricks:

Code: [Select]
lucida
gdiplus
winhttp
wininet
wsh57
mdac28
msxml6

This allows me to use foo_httpcontrol, foo_sqlite and foo_spider_monkey_panel.

foo_httpcontrol seems to require msxml6 to start a server but Internet Explorer and vcrun were unnecessary.

gdiplus and lucida were required for running @regor's Playlist Manager on foo_spider_monkey_panel.

Furthermore, I modified the following registry entries to add compatibility for foo_run:

Code: [Select]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"PATHEXT"=".com;.exe;.bat;.cmd;.vbs;.vbe;.js;.jse;.wsf;.wsh;."
"PATH"="%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0;Z:\usr\bin"

Linux commands must be prefixed with cmd /c.

My Wine version is 9.6-1. My Foobar2000 version is 2.1.4

I don't use foo_sqlite but there is no need of winhttp wininet or msxml6 to run foo_httpcontrol.

I only have wsh57, mdac28 and gdiplus and it runs just fine

Good news. Thank you for fixing others' "mistakes".

Loose suggestions for consideration:
* EAC and dBpoweramp and more rippers could detect index points too, and upload and store full cuesheets.
* Since file lengths can get you Musicbrainz lookup, it could be possible to link up against that: <This> CDDB disc id matches <this other one> and artist and album so nearly match that it is likely due to spelling mistakes punctuation, so ... here you got a clean-up.
Also, I guess at least some of us would be happy to help populating a metadata from the rips we have already made - quite a few people have extensive collections with <DISCID> and dBp-generated tags.  Of course, a lot of people also have, ahem, let's call it identical rip logs, but even if you allow an automated mass submission if and only if there is a log file present ...?
* Please Do Not Assume That Capitalizing Every Word Is Correct. There are languages where it is outright wrong, making Discogs look ridiculous.

It's a fair decision to distance yourself from the community you don't get on well with, but removing the entire repository of plugins on your website isn't a nice move, considering all the people who might still want to use them (even with old versions of FB2K). Users who haven't wronged you and have nothing to do with this drama must now suffer its consequences as a collateral damage. It is saddening that you didn't take that into consideration, and did not choose to leave the latest versions of plugins online.
Peter, the head dev and programmer for Foobar2000 took over the GEP plugin and renamed it to
 
https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_gme
for SNES/Genesis music files etc..

for the rest of the video game music components see this list.
https://www.foobar2000.org/components/tag/game+music/by+date

with the exception of the newer G.M.E. above which can be used in the newer 64bit version of Foobar2000
the rest are still only 32bit still since no one has worked on them... since Kode54 disappeared...
I've taken over development of foo_midi and foo_sid. foo_input_pmd is new. Both are available as x86 and x64.

We have restored freedb.dbpoweramp.com as a replacement for gnudb (which took-over from freedb.org), why? gnudb.org have started requiring emails to access their system. We do not agree with this type of intrusive data collection to access a publicly created database. It goes against the ethos of running a public database, especially as dBpoweramp users would have submitted a very significant percentage of all discs in that database.

Currently no submissions are allowed (there is little point in collecting good data in a bad design, there are so many collisions in freedb).

Going forward we will create a new community populated metadata database, it will be branded as part of the AccurateRip family, and will be open to all, correct many issues of freedb, and have a simple REST interface for looking up discs (based on AccurateRips disc ID). AccurateRip has existed without restrictions for almost 20 years, together we will create a high quality database. Watch this space...​

We are understanding that EAC will switch over to the new database also.

(this is the output of gnudb currently)
