wma's ?
 

i know that winamp 3 beta only officially supports mp3,wav and cda, so u know i have read the FAQ. Unfortunately while i was without a decent player with a media library i was using WMP 7, and because of it's "conveniance" burnt about 50 CD's off my mates using it. I now have a phat stack of tunes that i can't play on winamp 3.

the question is, does anyone know of a plugin someone has written for winamp 3 to decode wma's (people have done it for vorbis etc), and if not do you know if it is possible to use one of the winamp 2 plugins and port it into winamp 3 using one of those programs?

cheers fools

try these plugins

Input Plug-ins
- Peter's Winamp3 Plug-ins (Full)
- Peter's Winamp3 Plug-ins (Lite)
These plug-ins are updated often. If you have problems try checking for an update. All of these are updated to work with Beta2.5

Output Plug-ins
- Peter's output plug-in
This component encodes files using built in codecs.... Vorbis (.ogg) LAME (.mp3) and APE (.ape) are included (access to this component is via the thinger) (this plug-in has been downgraded to work with beta 2.5)

or you can get a media library plugin (in beta) for winamp 2. looks don't matter, it works pretty good imho.

Plus Anthony is a real standup guy.

How would a media library plugin help him play .wma files?

:rolleyes:

It won't but, winamp2 will ;) Connect the dots d00d

Don't if these links work, supposed wma plugin for winamp 2+, you could also use winamp 3 with the 2+plugin manager I suppose, but that is a little more trouble.

(sigh...)

I don't think he understood what I was trying to say...

YOu don't need any plugins in 2.xx to play .wma files. That's a given, as long as you get the full install. I was saying that a media library plugin by itself wouldn't allow him to play .wma files. As of right now, I'd either stick to wa 2.xx to play .wma files, use in_wma.dll from the 2.xx install with Peter's 2.xx plugin interpreter to play in winamp3, or, best of all, don't use .wma. Use vorbis.

cheers

should sort out the problems, and i now i do get to use the joys of a properly skinned program!

looking forward to further developments

Cool, can't wait to be Beta 3 being release soon.

Jarsonic:

As I understand the original poster wanted something that a) had a media library b) could play wma, c)wasn't windows media player.

Winamp 2+ (wma plugins if needed) with a media library plugin satisfies those requirements right?

Re: wma's ?
 

He was looking for Winamp3 information. He obviously knew that Winamp2 had .wma capability and I'm assuming by the wording of his posts that he knew to look in the plugins section of Winamp.com, if he wanted a media library.

Winamp2 does satisfy the requirements you laid out, but that wasn't what he was looking for.
