Foobar2000 - Changelog:

Removed gnudb from default online tagger settings, as gnudb now demands users to input their actual email addresses.

If you wish to use gnudb, you can configure it manually, but we strongly recommend against it.

Online tagger now defaults to freedb.dbpoweramp.com which works once again.

Changed storage of freedb-compatible server list settings, to a text file in profile folder.

Reverted compiler to Visual Studio 2019, as current version of Visual Studio 2022 outputs AVX opcodes when explicitly configured not to, making foobar2000 crash on old PCs.

ReFacets added "last modified" column, fixed playlist interaction bugs.

Converter: Fail harder if "don't reset DSP between tracks" is on and one of files can't be converted - output past the point of failure wasn't valid anymore anyway.

Fixed WASAPI Exclusive timing glitches with exotic settings.
