foobar2000 for Mac / Version numbering, the explanation
Last post by Peter -
I know many of you have been wondering why Mac foobar2000 is essentially 0.5 versions ahead of Windows.

The long explanation is that initial port was based on an early foobar2000 v2.0 prototype from 10 years ago, hence named 2.0, even though it was eseentially foobar2000 mobile codebase. This was foobar2000 for Mac up to version 2.3.

Windows foobar2000 v2.0 was entirely rebooted later starting from 1.x source. Given choice between releasing another foobar2000 v2.0 for Mac or using different versioning on Mac/Windows, I opted for the latter and released proper foobar2000 v2.0 for Mac as v2.5.

foobar2000 for Mac / Mac OS 10.13-10.15 end-of-support
Last post by Peter -
Mac OS older than 11 "Big Sur" has been dropped in foobar2000 for Mac v2.7 series.

This means that 2.6.x is the last working (but actually tested) line for this range of old Macs. Bug fixes will still be backported.

Recent 2.7 series preview builds with already had major bugs on old Mac OS due to differences between old/new Mac OS.

Any music company that tries to improve "inherent networking flaws" is outrageous to me. People do not understand that any signal weaknesses result in reduced speed, not faulty data. Nothing is real-time in digital anyway.

Would it be possible to make the component scan and produce a tag file for Bluray files? I know that those m2ts files are untaggable but it has been made possible with SACD-iso files by producing xml files that contain tags and are stored in the same folder as corresponding audio file.

I am glad y'all brought these things up.  Yes, I realize they are alphabetical  ;D
And yes, I have the files named as your example as well as track metadata stored with dBpoweramp (a blessing of a software, no doubt)
I haven't "upgraded" to Windows 11 yet, but in Windows 10 this behaviour is normal; it's a broken mess.
The free version of MinimServer will likely give you everything you need.

Thank you so much for your reply.
Regarding adding tags to tracks, this is an understandable wrong decision), because, for example, the place where the track is played is not a property of the track itself.
I'm looking for a way to add tags to playlists or folders in playlists.
