Thanks! Btw ... I've been reading the past 2 pages of posts ... and I still can't figure out how to fix this:

The notification of the song being played ... keeps showing the old album art from the previous song ...

Can u plz help me?

I'll try to re-read in the meantime ...

Edit: And damn, Winamp doesn't support Unicode hey? :angry:

Ok, I removed the flashes and resizing effects.  This really is much better.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention Barisko!

Owh my god! It look?s awesome! My suggestion turned out to a transition with fade effect. That?s even ten times better! You did it again my man!

(And it even checks the path, because the cover doesn?t fade when is does not change?! Just great!)

YtseJam made a suggestion a long time ago that I increase the size of the notifier coverart.  (...), so please check it out and let me know what you think.

I'm sorry, but I copied over the old one so I can't compare them. I can't really tell the difference?

(or is it such a big difference that I can?t miss it? (that means that it?s my computer being annoying again?)

Just to be sure, is this what you mean:

On playing the present song the notification displays the cover from the previous song?

That?s strange. I did not you experience this problem? Does it do this all the time?

YtseJam originally posted this link to a thread about Unicode if you wanna read it.

I think I will make a short tutorial about how to setup coverart correctly. In the meantime, all you need to do is separate your music into folders by Artist then Album. Place an image with any of these filenames: cover.jpg, coverart.jpg, front.jpg, or folder.jpg, in your Album folders.

Ahh ... it works now! Makes sense too. Thanks for this!

And gonna try out that solution for Unicode ;)

Thanks everyone!

The only difference is the new size, 65px instead of the old 50px. Also, the status text (New Track, Playing, Resuming, etc.) has been moved to the left above the Playlist Entry numbers (2367/3943, for example).

The new transition effects are not mine. Those were originally in the script I borrowed from rpeterclark in his awesome Drone skin. I had removed them to simulate a faster loading time for the coverart, but looks like I broke some stuff when I took them out.

It still looks great!

Only one small bug left as far as I can see.

When I do the following:

1. play a song that has a cover file (but with a cover that is to big, so the window resizes it to smaller)

2. play a song without a cover art (so that the message about the filenames appears)

Note: the cover window first shows the cover from step 1 in its original size (to big for the window) before it fades to the message.

Wow, you got really sharp eyes man! I never noticed that. Ok, lemme work on it some more...

Hold on a sec, why don't I just hide the whole thing completely when no cover is found? That would save a chunk of code plus do what you want too. Now that the instructions are in my sig for the coverart, who needs the dumb window anyway? Any objections??

Thanks Bhav. This thing is on its way to a final release, someday...

I just want to apologize to andy_rose. He pointed out that there is a bit of distortion when Winamp resizes the coverart. I never noticed that until last night. I'm trying to get rid of it (it's especially noticeable in the notifier), but no luck yet. Sorry andy, I'll do a bit more testing before I spout off the next time. :blush:

I just downloaded whatever recent updated one there is, and now I'm getting some weird bug. When I go from windowshade mode to normal, or normal to windowshade, with the playlist, the location of the main window and playlist go on the fritz. The main window will move down like half the screen and the playlist will move off the top of the screen. Anyone else having these problems? I'm gonna try just reinstalling the skin, but I just thought it was kinda goofy.

EDIT: Reinstalling didn't work. Here's a screenshot.

That ain't no bug! :)  Seriously it's there by design.  To get the PL shademode window to expand upwards like normal, double-click the top of the window.  The second button from the top right is now used to expand it from the bottom.

oh right, just noticed that myself. that'll confuse some people.

thanks for clearing that up.

Can you turn off the little box that slides out when a new song starts?

586056691[/snapback]

Quick question.  Dont know if this has been answered or not but I notice in the screenshot the notifier(?)(The thing that pops in and out) is on the top left corner.  how do you change that setting to move it there?

586056694[/snapback]

Both settings can't be found in the settings menu:

Right click your winamp -> Config -> Options -> ..notifications.. -> here you can turn it off and you can set when you want it on your screen and some other settings.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
