Winamp CD Case Beta 8


Recommended Posts

Insanekiwi and anyone else having problems with it freezing and getting errors try either/both of these:

Uncheck Fade image & Fade notifier in Options >> General

Uncheck Download cover automatically in Options >> Download

I'm using beta 9 build 56 doing both of the above, and am not having any more problems at all. Error 364 only happens when fading is enabled. I don't need the Amazon search much since I have covers for most of my music. Doing a Google Image search is actually better, anyway. Leave that enabled if you want to use the function, it might just be the fade effect that's freezing it up, combined with tags it doesn't like.

EDIT: I just realized Carlos already mentioned this briefly, I guess this is almost redundant...but hey, this is my 500th post on my one year anniversary of joining Neowin, w00t! :p

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.

Yes. There are some ID3v2 tags that can make WCC freeze. But I can adjust if I have the song with those tags... I have lot of songs with ID3v2 tags and all goes fine. It's probably a non standard ID3v2 frame that WCC can't handle.

Remember that you can manually download a cover too. Double click case or using right click context menu...

Congrats about your 500th post!

i've been getting this error a lot while switching songs to different artists/albums, and i'm using beta 10.. it happens and then it gets this little imprint of what i'm listening to up in the upper left corner of the screen and the only way to get it to go away is to quit wcc.. if this has already been reported and i'm ignorant, i apologize.

This is the error due to fade in/out.

I was able to reproduce if I switch the song before the fade in/out ends (during fade in/out).

You can disable fade in/out effect if you want (or wait for it to finish before switch the song). Just go to "Options>General".

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
