Changes in foobar2000 1.2.6 beta:

* Windows 8 “connected standby” countermeasures:
- Option to keep display up while playing - seems to be the only way to prevent Windows desktop apps from being shut down while the machine turns idle
* Fixed misbehavior when updating attached pictures in files with ID3v2.2 tags.
* ReplayGain tagging now works with AIFF.
* Fixed crashing when embedding specific picture files into Ogg Vorbis files.
* Attached picture manager dialog tweaks.
* foobar2000 1.2.5:
- Converter: fixed writing of WAV files with odd byte counts (eg. 24-bit mono).
- Improved handling of various malformed WAV files.
- Converter: fixed writing of file types that foobar2000 cannot tag.
- Fixed “verify integrity of played files” option disabling HDCD & DTS decoder components.
* It's a feature of individual decoder components; third party decoder components such as Monkey's Audio decoder must be updated separately.
- “Add Folder” now skips over hidden files & subfolders.
- AIFF file format tagging support.
- Added authenticode signatures to foobar2000 binaries.
- Added WAV & AIFF attached picture handling (beta 2).

This is so close to be perfect (it actually is perfect)
No need for several codecs and converters, it does it all and plays it all (okay, you will have to dl some components and may want lame.exe and/or flac.exe, but when all is set, you have a very powerful player/program.)
Highly recommended!
