A bug with file info editor in 2.77?

wolf · 5th October 2001, 11:56

OK... I'm not sure if it's a bug but it HAS to be because I can't believe such an awful change could have been made in the newest version... Anyway, to the point: after I got Winamp 2.77, I can't access the "normal" file info editor (Alt-3) that I could run (and that I knew and loved) in older versions. Instead of the familiar big window split into two sections, ID3 v1 and ID3 v2, a small, cheap window with hardly any options pops up right now. I tried removing all plugins I have, thinking one of them could have been guilty, but Winamp still displays that annoying lame window instead of its normal file property dialog, even with all plugins removed! Now, as I said, I can't believe the dev team could have made such a, to quote Peter Lorre, "terrible, horrible, awful" change in v2.77, and fortunately, I don't see any mention about it in whatsnew.txt, so I guess it must be a really annoying bug rather than a new "feature" (hopefully)... so, any chance to see this thing fixed in next version?

ID3 v1 and v2 are working fine for me. Are you sure that you're talking about MP3 and not about WMA (or an other format)? And what's your mp3 Output plug-in?

kaboon: what mp3 output plugin ?

Excuse me PP, made a little mistake. Wolf I mean MP3 Input plug-in.

Yup, sounds like another case of in_mp3pro.dll strikes again!

Either that or the files in question aren't even MP3's, as Kaboon suggested.

Jeez! you're absolutely right, it was that damn MP3Pro plugin all along! I installed it along with 2.77 and I was sure I moved it with other plugins when I tried to "fix the bug"... I must have missed it then. Oh well, as Homer Simpson might say: "Stupid MP3Pro...D'OH!"

Thanks!
