Why would you want to switch? Legitimate question. 32-bit version seems to be working just fine, I doubt a music player needs the extra juice a 64-bit version provides.

Same reason for switching every other app to 64-bit I suppose; logical evolution.

I absolutely don't need to though. Especially for something light weight like a music player.

For me it’s more future-proofing: there’s a chance 32-bit support may be dropped by either the Foobar dev or windows itself at some point.
