Hi Gang, Its Kn0tte a problem but I just wanted to make the teams aware that the CD Ripping Filename Format mask was different from the ml_transcode filename format mask. i discoivered this while trying to transcode some files using the same mask in the CD Rip preferences <Artist> - <Album>\## - <Trackartist> - <Title>
and getting the error "Cannot open destination File"
Took me a while to figure out what the problem was.

I am batch converting a large number of FLAC files to mp3 and I noticed that when you transcode a file, it will also bring over the album art if there is art associated with the file. VERY COOL! I dont know when that started, but its PERFECT! I was wondering if there was a way to also create a playlist. Like if I were to right click on a playlist and choose send to > format converter for it to recreate the playlist. Or something along those lines. Like I said, Kn0tte a problem, just an idea.

[osmosis]

Haha poor Kn0tte will never live that down. Good suggestions though. Recreating playlists when converting files is definitely something that would come in handy.

thanks thanks thanks

I just noticed a tiny bug. The search artist-information button formats with +'s instead of spaces so the search site actually gets "April+Wine" instead of "April Wine"

Also, is there any file I can edit to add my own custom searches or change the homepage?

Edit: It's not just from the Artist-Information buttons, it's actually any time you use the search field.

Any chance of an imminent Obama themed release of Winamp

Hey guys!

I recently got a new iPod as a gift, but I refuse to install iTunes, and I've heard that you can transfer music through winamp so I wanted to give it a go

When I plugged in the iPod it asked what model/type it was so I checked "Nano" and then from my playlist, tried right-clicking a song and "Send To" -> "iPod" and I noticed it created a new folder and a new mp3 file on the iPod, but it doesn't match the structure of my previous songs (like it's not in capital letters) and I can't find it on the iPod itself.

Of course using the latest winamp with the essentials pack and the server fix

Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Or isn't there any native support of the latest nano model yet?

Thanks for a great player!

Haha... I just hope we are not just expecting a bugfix release!

[Juanus]

Awesome!!! I love patches and fixes and stuff. Can we also expect updates/improvments to pmp_ipod?

[LowKick]

I've been waiting for this update! Thanks a lot, I love winamp

[elcondor]

Just found a release 5.56 build 2199 on the net. Is it legit??

[Sawg]

There is no 5.56, 5.55 is still in Betas (and beyond 2199 as well)

It might have been 5.441 Build 2189? A

[elcondor]

I am suspicious about it although the poster has always been good. Maybe just misnamed. Check here - http://www.maishare.com/0urj981e3hz3...Skins.zip.html

[osmosis]

@elcondor: The version number on the installer is 5.5.4.2147, so there you go. It's not even 5.541, it's 5.54.

[elcondor]

Thanks for that! Can't wait for the next iteration of this great program.

Thank you good sir Worked like a charm! Is there an option of this within the Winamp Options menu that I am missing?

Thanks again!

[Sawg]

Nope. (It's not really a complete feature yet)

[Aereon]

Can the latest beta be downloaded somewhere?

[DrO]

nope and asking makes it even less likely.

Wow... I just asked nicely, nothing to be offended by. Sorry.

[DrO]

apologies on that, was meant to have a smilie on the end but after some users asking all too often it is too easy to just come back with a plain default response. basically when a release happens or a public beta occurs then it'll be posted otherwise it's just the waiting game for if/when there will be a new version.

HELP! When I sync songs onto ipod from winamp, it shows i have 0 songs on ipod!!
I have the lastest version of winamp and an 8GB iPod nano 4th Generation.

[Simfee]

5.541 is horrible unstable.
Sometimes after changing the modern skin settings, Winamp crashes & after crash, I have to set my settings again.
Sometimes after closing Winamp, C++ runtime error window will appear & after rerun the Winamp, I have to set my user settings again.
5.541 doesn't save the user settings correctly, & it drives me crazy.
In file types option, when I tick the "lunch Winamp for audio CDs" & after closing the settings window, when I check the setting again, it's unticked.
Why Winamp doesn't save my settings correctly?
I turned off my system restore.

its been rock solid for me.
-disable all 3rd party plugins
-sounds like you have another program that keeps taking over the CD playing.

[Simfee]

Last night I reinstalled my Win & I didn't install any plug-in.
My default audio player for all audio files is Winamp & KM Player for all video files.

[osmosis]

delete studio.xnf and winamp.ini one or both of those will probably fix your problems.

(you will have to redo all your settings but hopefully for the last time.)

[Simfee]

thanks...
but why that C++ run time error appeared?

[osmosis]

because life is crazy.

[Simfee]

is this a virus/trojan problem or something like that?

Winamp does not have a virus/trojan problem.

If you have let virus/trojans gain access to your computer, you better do a virus scan.

[Simfee]

I'm talking about my PC.
Also, what anti virus Winamp devs uses?

[Wildrose-Wally]

Who cares, just use the best one you can buy.

[Simfee]

I cares

This is odd, I just reinstalled my OS and then Winamp, but now I do NOT see a winamp.ini file.

I created one and popped in the vista_thumbnail=1 line, but it didn't seem to do anything after relaunching the application.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Thank you!

If you have chosen a shared install, the winamp.ini should be in the Winamp folder.
