First of all.... I love Winamp CD Case. Thanks for your hard work!

However, I have a small problem with the new release. Nothing wrong with the program but I'm missing my favourite skin. I uninstalled my previous version of Winamp CD Case before installing this version.... I didn't realaise that the Aero Skin would be missing from RC 2.

I'd really like the Aero skin back but don't seem to be able to get on to the http://www.closersoftware.com site (site seems to be down) to see if I can download an earlier release which contains it.

Anyway... cheers! :)

Just a question....is the CD cover supposed to change when the song changes? Cause if it is, it's not happening for me :(

EDIT: OHHHHH I see.....it's PER Folder.

Nice application but unfortunatly, not practical for me because I have a lot of individual songs. Would work good on my MP3 Server tower but it runs iTunes.

Keep up the work.

EDIT 2: Ouuuuu ID3v2 tag support thingy. I guess that's how it works. Let's try it.

EDIT 3: Well for some reason it doesn't save it to the individual song. Am I doing something wrong?

+Eli,

WCC has some "read cover" methods to try to reach all kind of mp3 collections.

The settings you can find in "Options>Read cover>Read cover from". Press "Help" button or see "Readme.txt" for details!

A combination of those settings can better fit your collection.

Example:

Set "Cover's folder": WCC will cache all covers in a single folder using the following pattern: "Artist - Album.jpg".

So WCC will search for a local cover with this name and when WCC downloads a cover from the internet it'll save following the same pattern in "Cover's folder".

But the best settings depends on your organization...

Again, see "Readme.txt" or press "Help" button (while in "Options") to see details about each read cover method.

Remember: the order of your read cover settings is very important!

I'll give that a shot when I'm sober. Thanks for your help. I should be able to let you know by tomorrow afternoon-ish.

Actually I have been busy for the most part of today/hungover.

I set it to "Artist - Album" like you suggested and it works greatly. Unfortunaly I was hoping it would write to the ID3v2 tag so that I can transfer them to my other computer (my "music box") and the album art will transfer to iTunes.

But I got it to work and I'm currently using it. Thanks :D

I Like my files the way they are :)

WCC RC2 Build 13 (12 Mar 2006)

- Improved Fade In/Out effect (*)

(*) Uses less CPU (up to 10x less depending the CPU speed) and is a little bit smoother (make sure to check "Options>General>Fade cover")

Note: the new fade in/out was NOT enough tested yet; you may find some bugs...

Download: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccrc2b13.zip

Have fun! :)

1) install the full version: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

2) unzip and copy the last build into WCC folder, replacing the old "CD Case.exe": http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccrc2b13.zip

The first post will be updated with the last build too.

I love this program; thanks Carlos for doing a great job!

Only issue is that some of the album covers do not show on the case even though there is definitely cover art in the ID tag. The cover art shows in Itunes but does not show in the CD case skin (or any of the other skins). Any solution to this?

Gavin001: I've started 2 get this error everytime i install, u know how to fix it??

1) Have you tried to ignore it? Maybe you already have it and a program maybe using it (but I think the setup would know that...)

2) You can also try this:

a) restart your PC

b) "Start>Run" and type: regsvr32 /u SSubTmr6.dll

c) try to install WCC again

3) email me if it still not woking: [email protected]

Cianca: You must try to break the dependency with the VB runtime...

I don't have time to learn C+. I know it'll be better but not that much. C'mon... :)

poc314: ...some of the album covers do not show on the case even though there is definitely cover art in the ID tag...

WCC has a limited third party module that reads the ID3v2 cover tags. I can't do nothing about it for now.

Feature Request:

The ability to choose a different font per notifier line. If this is something that you think you can implement before 1.0 final, I say go for it. If not, maybe keep it in mind for a future build. Thanks again for all your hard work, Carlos!

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
