Winamp CD Case Beta 8

[Carlos11]

- Skip a song:

It can be a fade in/out issue: please go to "Options>General>Settings" and uncheck "Fade cover" and "Fade notifier" then test it

- Search cover:

When a search starts WCC will wait for an answer (cover found, not found or an error) and it become "disabled" (it's not a crash). Once WCC gets the answer it becomes available again; If there's an issue (Amazon server, connection...) a long delay may occur and WCC will keep waiting... I'll see what I can do to improve this feature...

Thanks!

i tried the skip a song options. it seems to work, just lags horribly. like the cover changes with a 3 sec. delay.

[insanekiwi]

i'd rather want all the text/notifier options in one dialogue. not under notofier AND skins.

The first post needs to be edited. The download link leads to a zip file with one exe in it. I was confused by this until I read through about 7 pages of this thread to find the actual installer.

Now I do have it, it is very nice. To those having problems with it showing the back covers, I had this but only on albums where I have the front and back covers in the folder.

WCC has some options to read the right cover even for those who have front and back covers. Just go to "Options>Read cover"... See Help or Readme.txt for details.

Or you can let fade in/out on but before skip a song let the fade in/ou effect finish first... May work.

Carlos11 can you if u have time add an option to this great programe..we need a new line like time left or time passed from the song or a progres bar ...

I think it's possible. It's just a matter of time... Thank you for your feedback.

Next major update will have a better skin manager that will aggregate all the notifier settings, including (probably) the text format (%title%...).

So when a skin is applied it will look like the skin we saw...

A preview will also be added instead the case image (I think the preview was suggested here).

It's just a matter of time now... ;)

mine also freezes when i change to another song I have build beta 10 but I want back to beta 9 does someone has beta9 exe? so i can replace beta 10?

[insanekiwi]

Plase, try this special build: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccb10v2.zip

[insanekiwi]

i tried http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccb10v2.zip and it just made things worse. it crashes even after playing some songs without doing anything else.

Options >> Player tab >> Follow player window state

I really need to know what error message is displayed.

It will help if you could send me one of your songs that used to crash WCC (just a small part using mp3DirectCut...).

Once, one user reported a song that used to crash WCC. It was not a "legal" song. He just remade the tag and all went fine.

[insanekiwi]

no error. it just froze. it happens with any song.

[Carlos11]

Some suggestions:

1) Try to uncheck "Download cover automatically" (Options>Download) and test it again.

2) Your installatin may be corrupted. Try to uninstall then install WCC again. WCC beta 10 was already released: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

3) If you still have issues, I'll try to make a special build so we'll try to trap the bug.

Thanks

i just stepped back to beta 9 which works like a charm. beta 10 and beta10 v2 crashes after a certai ntime for no reason.

[Carlos11]

+insanekiwi,

Please, go to "About" and let me know what beta 9 build you're using.

Thanks.

[insanekiwi]

beta 9 build 56

[Carlos11]

+insanekiwi,

Thanks!

I think the main issue is due a change on how WCC reads ID3v2 tag, but I'm not sure since I can't reproduce the bug.

What I need is one of your songs that you're sure to hang WCC beta 10.

You don't need to send me the entire song, just a small part (20kb).

You can use the free Mp3DirectCut to do so.

Or if for you is easier, send me the entire song or give me a link to download...

Thanks.

[Meshuggah]

heh, sounds like insanekiwi is getting my old error.....

[Carlos11]

Meshuggah,

It seems that the fix we made back then is not compatible with insanekiwi songs...

[Yochanan]

Has anyone ever noticed WCC reads the ID3v1 tag instead of the ID3v2 tag on some some songs? ID3v1 has a character limit while ID3v2 does not, so if any field is longer, of course it cuts off, and the notifier reflects this.

[Carlos11]

Yochanan,

Probably WCC could not read the ID3v2 tag for some reason, because if there is a v2 tag it will read it instead the v1 one...

[Meshuggah]

well i found an older cd i tagged that crashes Winamp CD-Case....lol i havent listened to it a single time since Winamp CD Case has been out so im debating retagging it or sending u a song to look at, what do u think? change the tags myself or u wanna take a look at this tag?

ID3V2 as well

[Carlos11]

Meshuggah,

I'd like to take a look. Thanks again!

[insanekiwi]

so you mean wcc might be crashed by a id3v2 tag? because my mp3s have either id3v1, id3v2 or sometimes both. i'll check and watch which songs might crash it.
