The M-tags bug still exists in foobar2000 v2.25 preview 2025-05-19
I don't want to switch to external tags
because my Theme (based on Ottodix/Eole-foobar-theme)
works better overall with M-Tags.
If the error is due to M-Tags, I have to accept that.

Off-Topic / Re: AudioSurf

Really interesting to see how AudioSurf analyzes tracks using FFT and normalization instead of RMS. Your test tone approach was clever, and the format compatibility tips are super helpful.
Yeah and also, a K-weighted RMS is LUFS (especially with 400ms and 3 second RMS window lengths for momentary and short-term loudness respectively)

BTW, another observation I have, which is using [as-everybodymono] tag on Vegas character disables point difference for each block colors (i.e. different colors have same points as color-changing ones, not to be confused with flashing color/wildcard ones)

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: JSplitter (splitter + SMP x64 alternative)

but 4.0.1 has GDI graphics issues. On script loading when foobar starts, sometimes it displays graphics, e.g the playlist,
but most of the time is just a blank background with rendered shadows ( gradients ) and nothing more.
I had the same thing on ESlyrics latest beta panel. Was kind of fixable by forcing an extra screen refresh.

After upgrading CUI to 3.0.0 beta2 the whole issue seems to have vanished altogether and I don't need the forced screen refresh anymore.
So it could be CUI related?

EDIT: Nevermind, reverting CUI to beta6 does not reintroduce the issue. So, I don't have a clue why ESlyrics suddenly stopped having the same rendering issues you depicted.

foobar2000 for Mac / Re: DSD playback for macOS

One more memory of this setup just surfaced and I believe that the "exclusive" option of the Output Device allows FB2K to "automatically" adjust your Mac's Audio Midi to configure itself to the proper settings for DSD.

foobar2000 for Mac / Re: DSD playback for macOS

It sounds like you’re almost there.  I think your issue might be in your selection of “Output Device” at the top of the main play window.  Click the drop down after your DAC is physically connected to your Mac and see if there’s an “exclusive” option for your DAC and try that.  I’m sorry that I’m foggy on the setup because I set my Mac up with it quite some time ago and once I tried it, haven't used it with my system.  I use  the Mac version of Foobar2000 only for my desktop speakers as PCM, only.  I use the Windows version on my audio system and the configuration is different on Windows.

In Preferences / Playback / DSP Manager / Active DSPs - is it possible to make a Bypass toggle switch for any DSP in the list?

Currently, it is only possible to either have a DSP on the list or remove it. A simple "bypass" button next to the DSP would be useful in case the user needs a DSP, in general, to stay in the chain, but at this very moment he wishes to bypass it.

I believe this feature would be mighty convenient. It would allow the user to quickly activate and deactivate a plugin to test the sound with and without it. Also, it would make it possible to compare the two instances of the same plugin with two different settings.

Please consider.
