Winamp3 Alpha L8

[Brennan]

Yay! Alpha L8 is here! n-joy.


--Brennan

[kinwashi]

YES!!!

[Wish]

YAY! A new alpha finally!

[distortion]

I voted 'I had sex with it!', but it was a lie. That choice just seemed to be the most amusing/appealing/etc. I'll actually download it and give it a go now I guess

P.S. - Brennan, your readme rules. I had to change my pants... twice.

[Gorgeus]

Can I make it to use the Gecko engine if i got Netscape 6.1. (Check readme) If yes, please help me. Great, they really start to use the Mozilla/Netscape technology, it should be dafault.

Thanks for answers

George

[YtseJam]

Okay, excuse me for being the first one to bitch ( I usually don't ), but... WTF does the `playlist directory` is doing on the RIGHT side of the `playlist editor`?? ARGH. I waited too much time for this alpha, and now I can't use it. I can't use it when it's on the RIGHT side! Ugh!!

[Brennan]

Why not?


--Brennan

[YtseJam]

a. It was much more convinnient(blah, spelling?) and confertable(spelling?, again...) when it was on the left side.

b. Because!

Brennan, first, thank you for actually reading this, and second, how about making it an option, shouldn't be too hard.

( Sorry for any typo's, am from Israel, this aint ma'language... )

Hi, WA· Team.

Me and my friends are testing the new Alpha.

We discoverede a bug at the script manager:

When you choose "Other" script Windows displays a General protection error and closes the program.

Tested on 2 PIII w98, 1 PIII W2k and 1 K6-2 WIn98

Thanks.

P.D: I LOVE WINAMP!!!

I can't launch it, there is a start error

Quite a nasty bug found by Electrópata & friends.

[Electrópata]

yeah...but it´s just an Alpha, the purpose of them is finding these errors.
I´m sure WA3 Final will be Great.

I get the same thing as this only in english

hopefully it works on my pentium 3

[Schlirf]

I get an error saying "The file COMMON.DLL is linked to a missing export of KERNEL32.DLL:GetFileAttributesExA." (probably truncated, error message translated from french to english.)

I have:
Pentium 200 MMX
Win95 B (fr)
96 Mo RAM
...

Well as I can see above it could be a problem with Windows 95 in French?

[Spoonman]

Confirming slobodan's error in another thread. L8 doesn't seem to want to start up under NT:
Assertion failed: Expression reg!=NULL
File: c:\projects\studio\common\region.cpp
Line: 251

This is on a PIII 550, 128MB RAM.

[darkmiasma]

brennan -

this is definately your best version of the WA3 ... ive been in the forums for a long time, but never bothered to register; however, you definately deserve some praise for this ...

right now its rock solid - playing for a little over 5 hours

keep up the good work

[Naamloos]

No negative options to choose
Nah, I need to explore the new thing in it.... (on the outside... the inside doesn't really care, as long as it plays music)

Whats actually so L8 on it?

other then that... Super!

[Naamloos]

The minimalism is broken here...
After the first minimalism i can't get it back... and after i get it manually back (by right click turn off the main and then turn on again), the minimalism doesnt work

[Scarface2k1]

• Still no prefs
• Crossfade not shutting off (still)
• equaliser bars not as (trying to discribe) loose as wa2's qualiser bars
• still no eq presets
• (sudjestion) allow the use of "tab" button in minibrower to change entry fields (like login's and password (whatever))

[peter]

(cough) plugin specs ?

[Aeroe]

/me like speed, more transparency (hahaha you win9x users!)
/me doesn't like clicking the load files button to see another load files menu popup to click again.
/me is lazy

[lwells]

So far so good with the new beta... Only complaint: no 'j' shortcut for going to a specific song.. (love that feature)

LW.

[blueboy16]

if youll try to skin your winamp it will crash!

[will]

ok, scuse me for being anal and nit-picking and stuff but isn't this alpha 9?
6E=a6
666=a7
667=a8
L8=a9

[YtseJam]

Don't flame him...

[-[WonderBlood]-]

• I like:
  The faster engine, the cool shaded popup menus (*hehe win95/Nt/98 user*)
• I dislike:
  Your Mp3 ID3_V2 Tag scanner doesn't work right... bitch, bitch, bitch.

[wobly]

Just installed it. Love it already! The Media Library actually works now!! The only skin I was able to make work with it was Kinwashi's Auriga V.3. All others crashed it. Including Desert Amp. (And I love that one!..Hurry Rhino! Fix it!!)

me thinks a667 was actually a7.01, it came out shortly after 666 and didn't have that many changes.

I guess you're talking about switching skins? it's more likely that the scripts in the skins aren't compatible with the new alpha. They'll work once they're updated.

[pixelpusher]

It works great for me. Appears to be faster.

Win 98
PIII 450
256 mb sdram

Diablo II a667 has a guru on skin switch but does come back after right click.

Rhino Hunt gear loads fine.
Sobe skin loads fine.
Sony skin loads fine.

Skins that don't load at all for me.
Winique, Blue orb .05, Winamp XP, Tunah

Same with me. Minimize=Can't come back up 'til you turn off the main window and open it again (same for all other windows)

[Chris Beman]

This Alpha was realyal little bit late (L8)
But it works very good, anyway
