Winamp 5 Beta

[Creamy]

How do I get to play WMA files with Winamp?

//EDIT http://windowsmedia.com/wmrm/wmrm.asp I get that page when I try to play one.

I think that's becaue the WMA file you tried to play has DRM.

Is there a work-around for that?

You would have to crack the DRM-System...Not easy.... :unsure:

[BroChaos Veteran]

i thought the drm system was cracked twice already?

[-=SD=-]

So I can't just use a plugin :(

Oh well its just a few songs, I can make them mp3's.

24 bit playback doesn't exsist!

All content is in 16 bit

ALL Of creative's products Don't support 24 bit PLAYBACK.

Only encoding.

Too bad you all believe what foobar tells you.

its a damn shame, people don't read anything for themselves nowadays.

:no:

Hi.

Your a moron.

Don't spread ignorant facts.

Have a nice day.

btw: on topic of winamp5, glad to see them takin a step away from winamp3, but keeping their awesome skinning code. Thumbs up for winamp5, it supports (should) all winamp 2.x plugins, so mad plugins / directsound SSRC etc should all work in it for those who want better quality output.

[LUTZIFER]

You can't auto hide anymore??!?? I used to love using the NonStep skin for WinAmp3 but it seems like the autohide option is gone making the skin unpratical. Or am I missing something?

I really liked NonStep too, and it worked perfect on the WA5 alpha.

Now when I try to use it, it maxes out my resources and I have to do an end task on Winamp to recover.

No probs with any other WA3 skins though. Weird.

I guess creative themselves are morons for having there PR man tell us that on there newsgroups.

OH well.

think what you want.

I am Not talking Dvd-Audio, but anything that is 16 bit.

[intoksicated]

everything is good except that there's no crossfader... [snip]

or maybe there is i just can't find it...

There is a crossfader. Just head over to options->preferences->output->directsound output-bla-bla-bla->configure->fading-> and configure it to suit your needs. :)

That works in the 2.9x versions [and possibly earlier ones as well.]

thanks for turning on the light... but it's still kindda dim 'coz i can't find directsound output-bla-bla-bla... however, i found directsound output v2.2.6 (out_ds.dll)... are they the same?

j/k

thank's for the help!

Any explanation then why on Audigy2 cards 24bit/32bit content had a lower SNR in tests than 16bit content? And that's also why the KS driver reports 32bit samples as preferred input on my Audigy2?

Does someone knows a site with Winamp 5 Beta 1 Screens?

...had something else written here til i read your dvd audio comment....who is expecting 24 bit playback on a 16 bit file? You are saying 24 bit playback doesn't exist. You need to choose your words better and stop being a dick about everything.

[Got3n]

I like winamp 5, espeicailly the visies. but the sound is fine and i have 1.5 gigs of memory so no mater what it uses (not much) it dont really matter

[Drainbamage]

is it possible to enqueue/dequeue tracks using it? I could of swore that i was doing it but there is no option for it when you right click on a song in the playlist

other than that it owns :)

[Coffeee]

i got WA5 a few days ago and i have 2 say, its rules. i dont like iTunes. ive used Winamp for ages and this one kicks.

[Nexus-]

Guess what i heard:

The guy that made the mmd3 skin made the winamp modern skin for 5

I think it sound right since the modern skin looks cool!

I like how you can customize your playlist output in the options. I've been wanting this for ages!

For instance, my playlist now reads tracks as "Incubus - Morning View - 1 - Nice To Know You"

*hump*

thats been in winamp for years ... literally

[Garrett C]

Hrm, maybe I'm the biggest idiot in the world, but I could have swore I never saw it in any of the 2.x versions. I realize that it will output Artists - Title from the ID3 tags automatically, or it will just fetch the filename if no ID3 information is present, but I've never seen an option to customize which ID3 information is outputted. Again, I could be wrong.

[Garrett C]

Maybe this will help? http://garrett.blachole.com/screenshot.gif

[Zerosignull]

if you go into the options. goto the input plugins. select the nullsoft mpeg audio decoder plugin. click configure then goto title/tags there is a list of things you can add to the mp3 tag display
