Solved foobar2000

• Major Converter update:
  • New preset format, presets stored as .ini files in profile subfolder. Old presets imported on first run.
  • Backing up of profile before upgrading is recommended because of the above.
  • Added extensible post-conversion actions which can be used for ReplayGain scanning, integrity testing, etc.
  • On conversion error, encoder's stderr output is forwarded to foobar2000 console.
  • Fixed a bug causing int32 stream to be sent to encoders that don't recognize it if source is float64.
  • Ogg chaining is now off by default, Ogg chapters written by default instead.
• Fixed logic error in replaygain_scanner API implementation, use of replaygain_scanner object after finalize() wasn't working as documented.
• ARDFTSRC prevent implicit resampling using "max bandwidth" mode when told to use max quality.
• Speex resampler code update.

It is great for anyone who doesn't want the complexity of JRiver, Audirvana Studio etc.
