It's really odd!

It seems that almost in every action you get a loop.

Can you export the following registry key, zip it and send it to me? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Winamp CD Case

Did you install any Winamp plugin recently?

As I told you before I'll make a special version and I'll send it to you later. Thanks again!

New beta 8 build with a better "Covers' folder" method along with some bugs fixed as well as some improvements.

By the way, now if "Covers' folder" is on your "Selected settings" (Options>Read cover) it will lead the save downloaded cover procedure. If "Covers' folder" is in your list WCC will always cache (*) the downloaded covers.

(*) Cache = save all downloaded covers in "Covers" folder (that is located in Winamp CD Case's folder).

Download and copy the new "CD Case.exe" to WCC's folder. Don't uninstall beta 7.

Hello again.

Now that I got it working several days ago (thanks again, Carlos!), there's a small thing I noticed.

When checking for a cover, the small window containing song information (Artist, track name, album name) disappears. In order to get it back, you'll have to e.g. press "play/pause" once the search finished.

Dunno if it's even worth mentioning at all, but I get that result with any of the four provided skins.

So maybe it's worth taking a look at? :)

Last build before the official release (official = with installer or setup):

What's new?

- Added mouse wheel support: turns Winamp volume up and down (WCC must be focused of course).

- Slochy bug reported above fixed

Don't uninstall beta 7! Just copy the new "CD Case.exe" to WCC's folder.

mr.pingu,

That's the way it was programmed to work because the "Skin Manager" can be used to create a new skin too (see Readme.txt).

I'm sure nobody will use this feature to change somebody else's work... :unsure:

WCC beta 9 (15 Jun 2005):

1) mouse hover (back again - user request) (Options>Notifier)

2) case\cover tooltip will show current volume

3) notifier can be placed at left or right of the case too (Options>Notifier)

4) when mouse is hovered over WCC it will get focus so it will be easier to change the volume

5) now WCC will consider the local decimal separator to properly load a skin made in a system with a different decimal separator

Don't uninstall beta 8. Just copy the new "CD Case.exe" to WCC's folder.

"badass"?  :blink:

I hope it means something good!  :unsure:

What "badass" means?  :blush:

586070028[/snapback]

it means its badass :laugh: :p

badass is EXCELLENT, good feature

I have a new request though, if it can possibly be implimented. On the fader for the covers, could there be a way where the fader doesnt happen if it plays the same cd?

Let's say from Track 1 to Track 2, if it has the same cover as previous, it doesnt do the fade, only when it goes to another cd.

I know im getting a little nit-picky, but just asking

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
