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 (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...
