Improvements to foobar2000: version 0.9.4 Beta 1

foobar2000 is a simple but powerful audio player featuring support for many popular and rare formats, either out of the box or by using additional components.

So what's up with version 0.9.4 Beta 1 ?

Well, for starters, there is freedb support included in the standard installer, the ID3v2 writer functionality has been updated with workarounds targeting errors in other programs' ID3v2 implementation and the properties window has been improved.
