Winamp CD Case Beta 8


Recommended Posts

cheers Rickie.

i got the back cover problem on mine too. i managed to solve it though.

i already had back.jpg and front.jpg in the folder with the music. so i tried renaming front to folder, but that didn't work. then i removed back.jpg from the folder, and it worked. when i replaced back.jpg, and renamed it to a word beginning with a letter before 'f' in the alphabet, it would once again show the back instead of the front.

so the problem, in my case anyway, lies with the naming of images.

I couldn't get it to hide the box below the cd-cover - even if I had unselected all options in the notifier tab.

Is it just on my computer or is it using incredibly much cpu time?

you have to select Always Hide in the Notifier tab

If all your music is in the same folder, it will do..  :unsure:

What do you mean?

For example, I have my music sorted like this:

C:\My Music\BAND\ALBUM\SONG

Will this still work? I'm guessing as long as there are ID3 tags.

Yeah that will work fine, what other people are on about is when u have all your music by different artists in one single folder ie c:/music/downloaded/ but for albums its fine

Hi everybody,

I'm the developer of Winamp CD Case.

Beta 5 was released (08 May 2005).

Download link: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

Remember:

1) if you have front.jpg and back.jpg files (for covers): the best read cover method is "folder.jpg & alternative cover" (where the alternative cover you have to set to front.jpg);

2) if you have one folder for all your mp3 set "Artist - Album.jpg & folder.jpg & alternative cover" method.

Don't forget to read "Readme.txt" for further informations!

Thanks for a great program!! :D

Winamp CD Case beta 6 build 08 was released for beta testing.

What's new?

- Theme manager: now you can select and create themes; there are two pre-configured: "Case" (the one we used to see) and "Aero" (a new theme just to show the possibilities - see screenshot below). By the way, sorry for the "Aero" artwork (I'm just a programmer).

Just curious, if I play my files via my iPod (e.g directly from the iPod HD) then this will create an image in my iPod system folders (where the music is stored). Will this affect my iPod in anyway (too scared to try, dun wanna corrupt my iPod database). If it will, maybe a "save images to specified folder" under Artist \ Album, then they can be retrieved later (when I play the same song through the iPod) but wont actually write to my iPod.

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
