foo_la.dll - Foobar cannot play lossless audio

foo_la.dll doesn't work in new version of Foobar.

Foobar cannot play lossless audio.

Foobar says that listeners must create the component with newer Foobar SDK.

If you're happen to have Visual Studio installed, please make the dll for me!

Foobar can play multiple lossless formats right off the bat like FLAC, WAV, etc. For certain lossless formats like TAK or Monkey's audio you can get the components off the main component directory on foobars website.

Wait is that LA component from 2004?

Warning: buggy. Who knows whether it produces bit-exact results ...
"К сожалению данный декодер является очень нестабильным, не декодирует часть семплов в конце треков, а также не умеет читать теги (но, как говорится, чем богаты)."

The LA format never reached 1.0 stage. I would convert to something that has a bit of support (using the "reference" decoder!), even though LA seems still to offer the most of compression.  Have a look at

Trying to convert using foo_input_la.dll - it just lost 11520 audio frames [261ms] in the end of a track.
That's ok for listening if audio is not gapless. (Don't encode from LA with Foobar using this dll.)
LA.exe is fine.

Last time i tried to use LA plugin it was not thread-safe, so it crashed foobar2000 when it attempted to decode 2 or more files simultaneously. Also it didn't support non-ANSI file paths.

In my opinion the best way to decode LA format is to use the la.exe with foo_input_exe. You can use the settings from the attachment.
