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.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
