Winamp CD Case Beta 8


Recommended Posts

It appears the Winamp API Emulator (for Foobar) no longer works :(

<---goes back a few builds

WCC should work with foobar2000 0.8x

Anyway, I'll test foobar2000 again!

In regurads to my last post, instead of having an option to turn it off make it so that it doesn't search for it right away make it wait for the CDDB look up to get done. I also have another question, when it does do a look up for a CD and puts it in the Covers folder how does it get the file name because it gets it wrong frequently--if I could put one in there I like/works it would be better then having WCC tring to find it every minute.

WCC will take the audio CD ID not the filename.

New beta 9 build (19 Jun 2005):

- Show song rating along with title

- Rate song (context menu - mouse right click case/cover area or system tray icon)

- some improvements

Don't uninstall beta 8! If you need it get it here: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

;)

New beta 9 build (21 Jun 2005):

- Options>Notifier>Size: notifier has two possible sizes now: "Case size" (same width of the case - default) and "Twice of case size" (double of the case size).

- some bugs fixed and improvements

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

;)

New beta 9 build (23 Jun 2005):

- Skin Manager>Zoom: notifier zoom added

- Options>Notifier text added

- Options>General: data base location added

In resume:

Now WCC will track (experimental) the song's rating, play count and last played date.

So the rating feature will work not only in Winamp 5.04+ with ML but also in Winamp Lite (or without ML) and with another players (e.g. foobar2000).

However, WCC will still check the Winamp ML rating.

In addition, WCC has a better Notifier text now. The following fields are available to compose line 1 and 2 of the notifier: title, artist, track, album, genre, rating, playcount, lastplayed (Options>Notifier text).

The %title%... tags are used to easily compose a line.

Let's test then!! :)

I dont know if i configure it right, but how can i use the album name and song without having to use the aero background/notifier. Like i want it ot have just white text and shadow, not the aero look. Heres an example of what i mean.

Random screenshot i was looking at

http://www.deviantart.com/view/19750628/

See on the bottom left hand, artist name, song name, etc. Just plain text. Is there any way i can acheive that with winamp cd case?

I've uploaded a new build that has an option to hide the notifier image (Skin Manager>Text>Effects).

However, you'll have to find the better font style, font color, shadow color and offset color for your desktop area.

When you'll test the new feature you will understand what I mean.

Bold style seems to be a problem, so try to test with normal font style.

I'm using right now white color for line 1 and 2 and a mid-gray for shadow. I'm also using normal font style and font size 9 for line 1 and 8 for line 2. Arial is the font name.

I think that, for now, this possibility is better then nothing.

Of course, it'll be great if WCC could do something like your screenshot... Anyway, I'll keep trying to make it better!

+Hidea,

I've uploaded a new build that has an option to "Pin to desktop". Just go to "Options>General tab" and set the "Window level" to "Pin to desktop" (of course :)).

Since I had to change some lines of code (more than expected) a bug may occur. Please let me know about it if any...

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • 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.
