Notes

Winamp 5.32 (5.3.2.1003)

-Re: New columns in Media Library
For ReplayGain, Album Artist, Publisher and Composer values to show, you will need to reload the metadata for all files in the database. Rather than nuking the database and loading afresh, you can use the new rt-click "read metadata on selected items" feature for this, so you won't lose ratings and playcounts. For large databases, it's probably best to do it in batches...
(Note, File Path and Extension columns don't require a refresh for values to show).

-Replay Gain values
There's an option to enable the "Album Gain" column in the Albums pane via:
Prefs > Media Library > Local Media > Options tab: Show replay gain values
(again, you will need to use the new "read metadata on selected items" feature first).

-New Local Media Filters
To switch from Artist/Album view to any of Genre/Album, Album Artist/Album, Publisher (Record Label)/Album, either edit an existing view (right-click > Edit View), or create a new one (right click Local Media > Add Smart View), then choose from the 'Filter Set' drop-down menu in the Filters tab.


-Note that the Media Library (Local Media views & Playlists) still doesn't support unicode characters. Support is still in development stage and is coming eventually.

-Please also refer to the 5.3 Release Notes for any further info / known issues.

The scary thing is, I just refreshed the page before I left the board just to SEE if a new version had been released... :X

Thanks alot. Good job. That playlist loading bug has been annoying me.

[DrO]

nothing beats being surprised (i'd just got home as the new build was going up so was a nice surprise for me as well especially having to rush out the avs update since we'd forgetten about it )

[Serpher]

Wow! Adlast! Thx DJ Egg for the news!

Improved: [ml_rg] lower thread priority to prevent system slowdowns

Great! Maybe now OS will not slowdown when Winamp and Opera are working.

[amano]

Woot. Great that the transcoder is bundled now. And the new panes are great as well.

Kudos Winamp team uns SOOO many thanks (Y)

[flocksoft]

thank you to all Winamp team for SO MANY changes (in media library in particular)!

I like very very much the new filters in edit view (simple view, artist\album, album artist\album, genre\album, publisher\album); maybe to build own filters could be an extra step (something like year\artist or year\album)

a question: so far I don't use "artist album" field (so it's empty for all my files), but after applying "read metadata on selected items" I see in media library (not in file info view) the "artist album" column equal to "artist" column (all metadata guessing are disabled), in my opinion that column should remain empty

[Hanschke]

thx but why is the Updated AVS plugin not in this release? much easier and ok but will the Essentials Pack integreatet into winamp?

now i dont now how to install it if i have a clear system. if i will do the 5.32 and and than the pack i will install an old version

[DJ Egg]

DrO explains why the updated AVS isn't in, in the 3rd post in this thread.

It is not recommended to install the 5.31 Essentials Pack over 5.32
not unless you uncheck ALAC and Transcoder first, thus making sure that the 5.32 Transcoder and separately available updated alac.w5s aren't overwritten.

There might be an updated Essentials Pack for 5.32 released, maybe tomorrow, which'll include the updated alac.w5s and no Transcoder...

* Improved: [ml_rg] lower thread priority to prevent system slowdowns

Excellent! I wonder if my thread had anything to do with this...heh.

ReplayGain columns in ML is also great, I've been doing this in Foobar for a while, and was looking forward to seeing it in Winamp. Great release.

[Cianca]

Transcodeeeeer... thanx Nullsoft

[PatrickNeil]

Genre Browsing? Genre Browsing! Yes! You don't! understand! how long! I've! Wanted this!

Appreciated,
Patrick

Sorry about the lack of essentials pack. My computer broke two days ago, and I have new parts coming in 12 hours. I'm sorry guys, but koopatroopa has me covered and should be posting it soon.

Anyway, hope you like the release (and the transcoder and activesync support, my two new plugins).

LATE BREAKING UPDATE: Download Winamp Essentials v5.32
* Removed: Transcoder (now in Winamp)
* Updated: ALAC support
* Updated: Lite-n Winamp Preferences
* Updated: Kill Predixis
* Improved: Installer. Woot!

Unchanged from v5.31
* Ogg Vorbis Encoder
* Skins in submenu
* Playlist Undo
* Find file on disk

Big props to koopa for doing this one for me.

[Blaubaer]

Love the replaygain values in the library!


thank you so much <3

[Juanus]

Hi guys. Thanks for the new release. Its great. One thing that I have seen so far,,, The Essentials Pack will not install the ML-Lite-n plugin for some reason. All of the rest of them seem to install fine.

[shins]

Thank you for the wonderful ML updates. Changes like this are always welcome and make the Media Library a joy to use. There is so much potential in this area, like Mass Tag Capitalization.

About the replayGain, does this store the normalizing amount into the tag (where older mp3 players won't notice it), or does it adjust the raw sound wave (older mp3 players would have the adjusted volume)?

Thanks again!

iirc, the replay gain stores the normalizing amount into a tag and does not touches the actual sound data.

[STanger]

schweeet!

Hence the reason for the relaygain scanner plug.

Great work guys!

very nice.

Yeah, there is a small bug, it will install it in Winamp\System instead of Winamp\Plugins.

I'll fix it in a few minutes, sorry but I was tired yesterday night. Thx for your report.

[Koopa]

Winamp Essentials Pack 5.32 Update:

- fixed ml_lite-n entry

The uninstaller will remove ml_lite-n.dll from Winamp\System too.

The Essentials Pack links above are updated, if you've installed it, just install it again.

[DrO]

doh, not sure how i missed that not being installed when we were testing it out last night

-daz

[Koopa]

Don't worry, stupid bugs like this are the result of a tired coder not of a bad tester.

[DrO]

heh, true though a tired tester doesn't help either really. at least we've a nice and shiny 5.32 essentials pack to play with

[alexjoey]

Hello, I'm noticing you that since 5.32 and even with the 5.32 essential pack, on the ML playlists the minutes of the track-time disapears, because the close of the colunm is too short, even if we're resizing a little up, displaying another playlist recome to initials ...


My XP-guest session neither want to recover in_mp3, I've done a third administrator account for guest, this way mp3 works, because it's my problem and not yours.

so please correct this ... time for all of us.
Thank you.

[Koopa]

Just enlarge the size of the Time column, works fine here.

[alexjoey]

even if we're enlarging a little, when I click another playlist that reshow ... that is the problem.

I'm adding that I recame to 5.31 which is the best of all 5 for my XP and 5.31 never dumps. the best of all

and so, here this time-displays correctly.

So don't worry, the aim of my message was just to tell to community that if there does for them, they were not alone because there does too for another guy (me).

No problem at all

[byblo]

Again, a m3u playlist which containing the basic : "." (to load a complete folder at once without having to specify files) stopped working

[DJ Egg]

@ byblo

Reproduced. Thanks
(I actually didn't even know you could do that, heh, so I've learnt something new there)


@ alexjoey

Yup, the potential problem with the Time column in ml playlists has already been reported here, along with the 'Static' thing (for 'total tracks/time' display).

[DJ Egg]

Updated ml_playlists.dll attached - which should fix the two previously reported issues.

(with winamp closed, extract to the winamp\plugins folder)

[byblo]

Thank you but it still didn't working. I've also tried with the one from 5.31 without success.

[DJ Egg]

Hmmmm... strange.

[byblo]

I made it working using the 5.32 default files (from winamp532_full_emusic-7plus.exe), and using the executable winamp.exe from 5.31, if that can help to find the problem.

[siebe83]

The new ml_playlists.dll should (and does ) fix the two issues reported here, and not the issue you reported (which isn't an issue in ml_playlists.dll).

[DJ Egg]

@ byblo

Alas you'll have to wait for 5.33 for the fix (assuming that's the next release), because the fix for your issue is in the playlist loader api in winamp.exe (in other words, the bug has already been fixed internally, thanks).

[Hanschke]

fast work guyss thx a second time

[byblo]

@DJ Egg
So, I'll wait with the 5.31 executable which seem working well with the 5.32 dlls

[alexjoey]

@ DJ EGG : the 1.06 works with 5.32 as the 1.04 did with 5.31 thanks.
and thank you for the interesting linking information.
I'm now on 5.32.
