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...

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
