- 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!

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.

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

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.

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

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... ;)

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.

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.

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

+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...

My email: [email protected]

Thanks.

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.

    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      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 Copernic · Posted

      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
