Main reason for doing it is the fact that the player and the recorder
use different code to implement the same thing (battery animation) when
there's no reason for it. I'm not too fond of that... :)

(A somewhat related thing is the new .cfg writer, where a fprintf-like
function is much needed. I don't like seeing pretty much identical code
repeated a large number of times. :)

Would "uncompressing" the patch make a large difference (i.e., is it
worth the effort :)? One remaining issue is that the patch doesn't
include tag skipping code for mpeg.c. The dynamic tag size makes it a
bit messy to do, but I can add that if the patch is of interest.

Btw, even if the name isn't the best, Foobar is a very good audio player
for Windows. And APE tags are also used by Monkey's Audio and MusePack
files.
