Version 0.3 and Foobar2000 SDK are now available!
I want to thank Peter and Case who made this possible.
Foobar2000 is a new compact, fast developing audio player for Windows developed by Peter Pawlowski.
Foobar2000 has a specific emphasis on audio- and technical quality, not on skinning or visuals.
