Wow, now this is a nice little app.

Feature Request: Always On Top option. I want to display the info over any window.

Also, check out Winamp Wallpaper at http://www.white-bolt.com . I discontinued my dev work on it because I didn't have a lot of time, but it might give you some more cool ideas. It actually appends the cover art to your desktop wallpaper and changes it.

Thanks for this amazing app!

But I can't enter but I can't enter options and skins (error 429 and 440).

Any suggestions?

Thanks from Brazil!

Always on top is an old feature! Go to "Options>General>Window level" and select

"Always on top" :p

See Readme.txt for details...

Everytime I try to download a Pearl Jam CD Cover it always gets the Rearviewmirror album cover and not the correct album cover.  Then it seems all Pearl Jam songs are assigned to this incorrect album cover no matter what CD the song came from.  What gives?

WCC depends on the ID3 tag that your file contains.

If you're playing an audio CD then you have to enter the album manually.

Anyway, go to "Options>Download" and check "Prompt before download" so you'll know what WCC is looking for...

Thanks.

I experienced the following error when I set the CD Case to be pinned to the desktop.

Also, for some reason WCC won't correctly read the tags of WMAs. It reads the artist, but not the album title.

First of all, set to normal window level.

Then exit both Winamp and WCC.

Turn them on again.

Go to WCC's options and set "Pin to desktop". Press apply.

If the error appears again, go to Skin Manager and try to adjust the cover position manually ("Skin Manager>Size and position>Cover position and size (pixels))".

WCC didn't add the feature to read WMA files yet. Just mp3 and ogg for now.

That's why is not working for you.

I'm having a few (major?) problems with the new build and build before. Basically, on random occasions winamp crashes, if I choose to close winamp, cd case remains in the systray and restarts winamp, thus creating an infinite loop of winamp failing and cd case restarting it again :(

Only way I have found of stopping it is rebooting machine :(

Any suggestions?

i found a bug carlos...When switching from a IDV1 cd to a cd with IDV2 tags, sometimes winamp cd case will not properly read the album, which then it wont find the cover art in the Covers location.

I also added a cover to the folder itself and it wont properly get the case either...hope you can fix it :) If you need any more info, email me

Meshuggah,

Sorry, I really miss your post.

It seems that WCC can't read some ID3v2 made by some software tagger.

I'm not sure why...

But I'd like to make some tests with one of your songs that does not working.

Can you send me just a small part of the song (using Mp3DirectCut)?

In addition, you can add "folder.jpg" or "Any image" as one of your read cover method. Doing so WCC will not depends on ID3 tags and it will get folder.jpg, or any image found, from the song's folder.

Carlos

My first error message! Whoo-hoo! I just updated to the beta 10 build posted above, and got this error message twice now.

Winamp CD case -ERROR

Description: Invalid procedure call or argument

Module: frmCover

Function: txtSong-Change

It doesn't seem to be using the read cover settings (folder.jpg/ID3v2 tag/Covers' folder) when the track changes like it normally does, but searching Amazon instead. When I got that error message, it would have normally asked if I wanted to accept current cover (I have it set to ask before saving). The cover it prompted me with was the same one I have saved as folder.jpg. I've had to double-click the case a few times on a track change to search manually. I'm going to go back to beta 9 for now. Keep up the good work Carlos!

    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
