Thanks for the bug report.

This is NOT supposed to happen, there's a specific workaround in place to prevent exactly this. I don't know how you did it.

What foobar2000 version is this? Can you post full list of components please? Preferences / Components, [Copy report]

General - (fb2k) / Re: Old 1.x versions usage
Last post by Peter -
MPEG-2 layer 3 glitch has been fixed for upcoming 1.x refresh, thanks for bringing this up.

In foobar2000 prior to 2.0, only formats decoded thru FFmpeg are: MP3, Vorbis, AAC, ALAC
Bugs in FFmpeg not affecting these are not relevant.
libavformat is entirely disabled, libavcodec packet decoding is used only.
(Vorbis decoding was moved back to libvorbis in 2.x series)

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.
