Can you send me your winamp.ini file? You can use the Info Tool > Directories to open the path of the file. Also a HTML or TXT report would be useful, you can send it via PM if you don't won't to make it public.

Hi Koopa,
In my winamp.ini there is the following:
config_extlist=:M3U:M3U8
So the report is correct. However mp3 is also selected in the winamp file types preferences, so where is this info saved? Could it be the following line (also in winamp.ini)?
defext=mp3Winamp v5.9.2.10042 - Quinto Black CT v4.1 skin

You can upload it to some webspace provider or send it to me via mail.
defext=mp3 is only the assumed extension for unknown file types. This has nothing to do with the registered file extensions.
When you re-register the file extensions in Winamp's Prefs > File types (select all, audio only etc), does it update the winamp.ini file?
It's also possible, that you've registered the file extensions with Winamp via the Windows "Open File with" function or with the "Select standard program" under Vista/Win7. In both cases, Windows would save the info in the registry then and the internal Winamp function wouldn't be used.
I dunno, if it's worth then, to check for all possible extensions in the registry and see if they are registered with Winamp, because I must check for a loooot of extensions then, also ideally Winamp's own function should be used and all registered file extensions should be written to the winamp.ini file.My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report

get "config_extlist=:MP3:M3U:M3U8" in winamp.ini.
And now that you mentioned it, I remember awhile back my mp3s stopped showing the winamp icon and I used the Windows "Open File with" function to restore it.
So all is working as it should. Thank you for helping me clear things up. Please don't check all registry extensions to see if they are registered with Winamp. That would be 'overkill' when users just need to let the internal Winamp function do it's thing.Winamp v5.9.2.10042 - Quinto Black CT v4.1 skin

Trying out the 4.0 Beta. It shows that I have Winamp version 5.6.2.3199 installed and thinks that an update is available. However, that seems to be the latest version, at least according to the forum here. I clicked the "Update" button but nothing seemed to happen. So, I'm not sure if this part is working properly or not.
The ANSI preference works great for the HTML report. Here's the output it generated for me: http://www.markheadrick.com/winamp-info.shtml
Thanks for all the work!

I'm glad, that you're happy with the ANSI option.
As for the update services, I simply have not finished the code for it now. I guess I made a quick note in my previous posting.
The problem is, that they block FTP support at work, so I only can work on that stuff at home.
So the Winamp and the Backup Tool check are not functional yet, but finishing the update code is no big deal, just a matter of time.

Ah, OK, cool. That explains that then. Guess I missed that tidbit of information.

Just a small update, before people forget about the tool.
I'm working on the 4.0 final version, which I can hopefully finish soon.
Along with some bug fixes it will have the following key changes:
- new preferences window (already known from the test builds)
- a lot of improvements in the HTML generator
- installer
- portable modeMy Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report

Here is a sneak preview of one of the HTML improvements for the next version:
These things are working pretty well. Just need to finalize the installer and fix some minor issues I've seen. Hopefully the new version with the brand new installer isn't far anymore.
I'm not happy with the old preferences design in 3.x, which is still the public stable build, so I'm using all energy to finish v4.0

Also added listing of the installed language packs (.wlz) and the additional language files (.lng) in the language pack sub folder, if available.
I'm not too sure, why I never did this before. :/My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report

Winamp Info Tool v4.0 Beta 2 available
4.0 Beta 2:
- made Backup Tool 'Run' button transforms into a 'Download' button if Winamp Backup Tool isn't present on the system
- made BT version number label smaller to provide enough room for the update button, if BT is installed
- made BT version number label larger, if no BT is present on the system, so that translators have more room for the text
- renamed 'Download Icon Libraries' & 'Download Tray Icon Packs' buttons to 'Download'
- made the new 'Download' buttons smaller and right aligned
- fixed that the Update button for Backup Tool was mistakenly shown, when no Backup Tool is installed
- fixed that the Winamp Backup Tool update check was showing a wrong version number in some cases
- fixed 'Run' button functionallity for Backup Tool on 64-Bit systems
- [HTML/TXT Generator] added detection of Winamp Language Packs
- [HTML/TXT Generator] added detection of additional language files from the language sub folder, e.g. de-de (includes winampa.lng if available)
- [HTML/TXT Generator] added summary for installed language pack & language files
- [HTML Generator] report shows outdated Winamp and Backup Tool versions in red and adds also a link for updates
- [HTML Generator] added a link to the Winamp Backup Tool forum thread, if no Backup Tool is installed
- [HTML Generator ANSI] fixed that it wasn't opening the report correctly in some cases
- [HTML Generator ANSI] fixed that it wasn't able to add the date at the end of the file name
- [HTML Generator ANSI] fixed a bug, that the old reports were not deleted correctly
- [HTML Generator ANSI] fixed a couple of bugs in the summary calculation code
Additionally I've noticed, that the ANSI version of the HTML report missed some code parts, which resulted in some glitches. Last, but not least, the 'Run' button for BT wasn't working on 64 Bit systems.
But you can find some new features is this build as well, the HTML report is now able to show outdated Winamp and Backup Tool versions and can list language packs and language files.
Along with a large number of cosmetic improvements, I hope I can release a new final as soon as possible.
More infos and an updated language file will follow soon.

Curious, where does it save its settings? Think I'm running into a permissions issue so I need to know what file and where it's trying to save settings to.
Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit now.
Thanks.

In the same user folder where Winamp stores the data, e.g.
Win 7:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Winamp_Info_Tool.ini
You can access the folder directly via the 'Directories' tab in the tool.
Normally, there shouldn't be any permission issue, with the settings.
Report(s) will be stored in the same location by default.

OK. It's ignoring the report path then. It saves the new path in the INI file:
[HTML Report]
Style=0
ReportSkins=1
ReportTray=1
ReportIcoLib=1
ReportVis=0
Path=C:\www\markheadrick_com\
CountFiles=1
Encoding=ANSI
However, every time I start the program, the path in the options panel is back to the: C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\ path and saves the report there even though I've changed the path. Seems like it's hard-coded to go there and ignores whatever path you browse to.
