Awesome. That's sweeeet. And now the DSP area of the preferences doesn't seem so depressingly lonely on fresh install .

@DJ Radio
Can't reproduce that problem here.
Start a new thread in Winamp Tech Support.
Provide all relevant system specs

@c014
Nice screenshot.
Umm . . . I didn't get much further than the wallpaper

[c014]

But did you understand what i mean=

[swhite]

The new plugin wouldn't happen to run DirectX effects, would it? That would be cool.

Yeah, lol

System specs?
cpu/mobo/ram, sound card, graphics card, windows os, directx version

Any 3rd-party winamp plugins installed?

umm, that looks like an old old issue.
Was this a clean install, or did you install over some old version of Winamp 2.x ?

No other modules.

Who cares about yours! BUT WHERE IS MINE?

... oh well, IT (WA5) is probably still sleeping in the US, or waiting for the sun to rise...

[Dextro]

How much longer need we wait for the long awaited Winamp 5?!?!?!?!

WE WANT WA5 NOW!!!!! jk I want WA5 When it's ready (that means 1 month ago :-P )

[ChaosBlade]

Well its not monday here in israel yet, so ill get up , go to school, and hopefully find WA5F when i come back from a tiring long day ^^

[YtseJam]

Actually, you'll have to wait 'till the end of the day I believe...

[ChaosBlade]

Hmm, Probably, but not too bad .. its not like the final is going to have some feature ive been waiting for years to see .. and if it does, another day is nothing near a couple of years

[Prorok]

should i go to sleep?
its dead on midnight, is it worth sleeping or not?

[evil_oj]

Prorok, yah just get some sleep, if they even release it at midnight, it'd be Pacific time, which would be way too late for someone in the UK. Hopefully we'll see it tomorrow, and it should be cool, but it wouldn't be worth staying up that late.

[Prorok]

your right. i dont even care that much, rc.666 sounds cooler than anything else whatever im so tired

[DJ Egg]

Let's just hope the changeover to the new site is seemless
and doesn't take like 10 hours or something... lol

[Prorok]

looks like DJ Egg is staying up. not me, im off to sleep. night y'all. i mean, errr, how do yorkshire people say goodnight?

[WhiteRayven]

still 6 hours and 43mins here in BC

[evil_oj]

DJ Egg:

When will Winamp 5 Pro go on sale?

[unfnknblvbl]

dammit, it's been the 15th for 12 hours already!

[DJ Egg]

Yeah, well you're like 10-12 hours ahead of where I am in the UK
and I'm like 8 hours ahead of where the Nullsoft clock is in SF
and . . . ummm . . . I'm sure there was supposed to be a point to this post, but it totally slipped my mind halfway through posting it.

[shuzz]

oh hell,i hope this doesnt turn out as dec 4!!!
[last release date!!!]

[spleef420]

is there a time scaling option somewhere in winamp 5? I may just have to rerip some of my cds but a few of the songs i have play very slowly and the time is all screwed up. the ones that don't work right say they are 45-75 minutes long.

anyone know how to fix this without reripping?

winamp 5.0rc666
2.4 ghz pentium4
256 RAM
SB Audigy2
GeForce4 mx420

[DJ Egg]

What did you use to rip them with?
(software & encoder)

And what format did you rip them to?
mp3, ogg, aac, wma, wav, other?

Using any 3rd-party Winamp plugins?
eg. a replacement mp3 input plugin, or any dsp/fx plugin?
Using WaveOut or DirectSound Output? (or 3rd-party output)

Does the same problem occur with other players?

As for Audigy2 . . . well, that's a whole different story

[spleef420]

i ripped them with WMP lossless and converted using Advanced WMA workshop to 320k bitrate mp3 (this probably is the culprit but it's only on a few songs)

I'm running a fresh install of rc666 with only avs presets and the .ogg encoder added for ripping. no dsp/fx plugins. and yes, it's on directsound output.

this only happens with winamp 5(all versions used - rc8-666)

[2boobs]

is there a possiblity that it's not going to be released?

[DJ Egg]

no

Hmm, bad method of ripping.

My advice to you:
Rip straight to MP3 (or OGG, etc)
Avoid WMA at all costs

Use CDex or EAC with LameEnc
Heck, even use Winamp 5 Pro
anything but WMP -> Lossless WMA -> MP3

What MP3 encoder does Advanced WMA Workshop use?
320kbps cbr/abr/vbr? or just plain --alt-preset insane? hmm?

Just experimented by ripping a CD to 320kbps
with CDex / Lame --alt-preset insane
and Winamp 5 is displaying & playing them perfectly
(gonna delete them though, 'cos I've already ripped this cd to OGG q6.0)

Most ponderous...

[WinBump]

I have to say this a great video utility for playing nsv videos and mp3's but everytime I try to play common video files such as mpg's and avi's winamp crashes.

Or in "beautiful Doom form". After all, it was id Software that introduced the "666" versions (i.e. Doom II v1.666) to fit with its demonic theme. :-) I'm 99% sure Winamp borrowed this idea.

I have no probs with that -- it's great to see the uber Doom series honored this way.

[spleef420]

thanks DJ Egg. it was actually an experiment to see what kind of quality I could get. once I discovered that the average lossless WMA was over 30 megs I tossed the idea...well, off to rip my CDs again.

thanks again, Egg

[Carnicero]

I thought it originated from the infamous port number id used?

[gaekwad2]

while we're waiting for Santa...
@spleef420: try --alt preset standard or musepack --quality 5 --xlevel and use higher settings only if you can hear a difference (I can't). 320kbps cbr is just a waste of space.
@DJ Egg: I thought encoding from lossless shouldn't make a difference (except that it takes longer than reripping).

[Paparazzi]

I wonder if the .dat extension used for VCDs can be supported as well. I mean, if I can copy the whole .dat file and remname and play it on WA5, why can this just not be done internally to avoid hassels?

Cheers!

PS: I've been telling a friend of mine for a while now not to go in for other players as WA5 will definetely do this. Unfortunately, this guy keeps bugging me every other day asking if WA5 does it now or not

Preferences (Ctrl-P) > Plugins > Input > Double Click "Nullsoft DirectShow Decoder..." > add ";DAT" (no quotes) to the end of the extension list.

Yeah, under normal circumstances maybe. But we're talking WMA here, not Monkeys, WavPack, FLAC, Shorten, etc.

[daven]

Seeing as wa5 will definitely be released today, can we now be told AOL's reasons for why it wasnt released on the 4th?

@DJ Egg: where in the uk are you?
