Solved foobar2000

I don't use foobar2000 very often as MediaMonkey is my main player, but have you guys switched to the 64-bit version or still using 32-bit?

I vaguely remember trying the 64-bit version, but all my settings got screwed up. I think it's because most of the components only work with 32-bit.

I still use the 32bit version mainly because of WindowBlinds and some components.

I switched to the 64bit, but yes I had to update the components. Took some doing, but now it works great.

I'm still using the 32bit version because the video game music components I use are mainly still 32bit...

I could not find an officially listed component by that name so no clue if it will work or not..
ok a quick Google search netted...
It mentions lots of crashing of Foobar2000..
and it has not been updated since 2011 so best to avoid it...

and its home site is
Album list - Dynamic Range DB
I checked it file info and it is a 32bit Windows .dll so it will not work with the latest 64bit version...
but it might work with the v2 or v1.6 versions?
will have to try it...

@Edwin tired after a long day, fires up his computer to listen to a few songs...
