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!

Does the error occur all the time?

Does WCC beta 9 read the same song properly?

What king of ID3 have your song? ID3v1 or ID3v2?

In addition, as you can read in the Readme.txt, there is a known issue with some covers recorded in ID3v2 tag. WCC may hang...

Can you make some additional tests?

I have uploaded a new build with a really minor change.

Beta 9 works fine, I don't recall having any problems at all. Yes, I believe that error is going to keep coming up, because WCC was not getting a pic from anywhere on a track change, and when it tried, it gave me the error. That's why I went back to beta 9. Most of my mp3's have both v1 & v2, all have v2. WCC hasn't ever hung up on me, so I don't think I've encountered that yet. I just finished going through all my files and tagging them with Mp3Tag (see sig). All album folders have a folder.jpg, and misc. tracks have a cover saved in the Covers folder when one is found. WCC doesn't have to search Amazon very often anymore. I'll play around some more tomorrow and let you know.

Here's a couple more error messages I just got, but with beta 9:

Error occurred: 384

Description: A form can't be moved or sized while minimized or maximized

Module: frmCover

Function: picCover_MouseMove

Error occurred: 388

Description: Invalid property value

Module: frmTheme

Function: GoLoadTheme

I'm not sure what happened when Error 384 happened. I wasn't touching Winamp or WCC, and Winamp wasn't in the process of changing tracks. Suddenly Winamp minimized itself and the WCC (Old Skool) skin disappeared, just the pic was showing. I left-clicked on it, and got the error. I killed WCC and restarted it, and still just the pic was there and no skin. I went into the Skin Manager and tried to change skins, and each pic for the skin showed one right after another by themselves, then just the folder pic appeared by itself again. I got the 388 error message after trying to apply the Vinyl skin. I killed Winamp and restarted (I have WCC load on Winamp start, and exit on Winamp exit), and now everything is fine.

Now, my 'puter has been going a little whacko lately, but that's another story altogether. I've gone more than 8 months since my last clean install of XP, which is a record for me. I usually do a clean install (or at least a repair install) about every 6 months. I test a lot of software in various beta stages, and install & uninstall programs almost every day. The errors with WCC may or may not be related, but only Windows is being weird, not any other programs, really.

Is there some kind of readme out there? I don't really know whre to put the .exe? Where to store the Skins. It kinda works right now (i put the .exe in the Winamp folder and a skin i found on deviant art in the skins folder of winamp, renamed the folder of the skin to Case)

The thing is in the latest releases you can get here there is only the exe in the zipped file, no readme.txt, no standard skin, no explanation to make a skin on your own...

You might want to change that.

Edit:

I can't get into the options dialog or the Skin Manager:

Error 440

1. Install the full beta 9 (with all required files, including a Readme.txt - it's an installer): http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

2. Once installed you can test the last beta 10 build, copying "CD Case.exe" to Winamp CD Case's folder (where the program was installed).

Feature Request

Dunno if you can do this, but I have a new request. Is there a way to make multiple cd covers per cd? Say front of the cd, and then if i middle or left click the picture, it changes to the back/lyric covers i have scanned...this may be very hard to do, so if it's not possible, that's okay...

also, the ability for this could be used for bands that their cd's have multiple versions and multiple artwork.

http://www.demonhunter.net/

this band is a prime example....

image_spider.jpg

3 different versions of this cd in particular...would be cool if you can do this, but if not it's fine :D

I have a little feature id like to sugest (dont know if it would be possible tho).....

Would it be possible to make Winamp CD Case change ur MSN display picture to the album cover that is currently displayed? (you would have to make it in to an option, cos i dont think everyone would use it). I would use it though :p

Hi Carlos, your program is great! I've been using version 8 for some time, and recently upgraded to the beta 10. What a great update to an already awesome program!

I did notice one small thing tho', I usually keep CD Case on my desktop and keep Winamp minimized (since CD Case gives me all the song info I need and I usually control Winamp using hotkeys anyway). However, with version 9 and beta 10, whenever I use the hotkey (Ctrl + F1 for me) to bring CD Case to the front it will bring Winamp up too, even with 'Follow player window state' unchecked. This never happened with version 8.

Very minor quibble, lol. It would be cool if you could look into it tho'. Thanks for all your hard work!

    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      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.
