Versie 2.25 van foobar2000 is uitgekomen. Deze populaire, lichte muziekspeler kan onder andere overweg met mp3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAVE en WMA, en beschikt over ondersteuning voor Replay Gain. Verder kan de speler verschillende formaten converteren, heeft het programma uitgebreide mogelijkheden om de tags aan te passen en kan de interface geheel naar eigen hand gezet worden. Daarnaast is het mogelijk om de functionaliteit met behulp van plug-ins verder uit te breiden. Downloads zijn ook beschikbaar voor Android, iOS en macOS, maar die hebben een ander versienummer en uitgaveschema. In deze uitgave zijn enkele kleine problemen verholpen.
Changes in version 2.25:
- Built-in UPnP media renderer, both client (play to another device) and server (be controlled by another device).
- Other foobar2000 instances on your local network, with UPnP remote control feature active, will be listed as output devices.
- foobar2000-to-foobar2000 playback shows tags with album covers on the other end, using Ogg FLAC as stream container.
- Media Library improvements, most notably:
- Can natively index FTP/WebDAV/SMB network shares.
- Improved response to enabling/disabling/installing/uninstalling decoders - only reloads info from affected music files.
- Codecs, most notably:
- FFmpeg updated to 8.0, added native support for xHE-AAC decoding.
- Rewritten Ogg FLAC tag handling, properly implemented embedded album art.
- Fixed ReplayGain tags not being saved in multichapter Ogg/Opus files.
- Portable install improvements
- Changed the way relative paths are handled, so cached tags are no longer forgotten after relaunching from a different path.

- Converter:
- Enabled RF64 writing.
- Fixed Converter failing to function until foobar2000 restart after removal of %TEMP%\foo_converter.
