1 suggestionGood news! foobar2000 now has native Apple Silicon support. According to the official website, the current Mac version (2.6.6) supports both Intel and Apple Silicon processors through a universal binary, requiring macOS 11 Big Sur or newer. You can download the native version directly from the official foobar2000 website. However, it's worth noting that some users report the Mac version is more limited compared to the feature-rich Windows version, lacking some advanced customization options and components. If you need the full foobar2000 experience, you might want to consider alternatives like Swinsian, which is specifically designed for Mac and offers excellent FLAC support and library management.
