Not winamp's fault. When winamp 5.0 is Done you will probably need a driver update from Microsoft.

WA5rc8 Spectrum analyser

It seems that when playing AAC files (ripped by winamp) the spectrum analyser doesn't behave properly. MF sounds cause the lower bars to bounce, LF the middle bars and HF - well thats all over the place. Also the general appearance of the analyser seems out of step with the music. What's going on?

Playing the same file encoded as MP3 seems to work much better though I have a suspicion that something may have gone awry at rc8?

I still have the same problem I've been having with beta2. It involves the config drawer when the main player is docked on top of the Playlist Editor.

When I clicked the Config drawer button in beta2, the drawer dropped down with the PL window snapped on. The drawer did not open OVER the PL window but pushed it right down instead.

Now in RC8, the drawer opens over top of the PL window, but when it fully extends the PL window suddenly jumps down and docks to the bottom edge of the drawer. It almost works correctly but when the drawer is fully opened I end up with the same problem.

The drawer worked perfectly fine in beta1. Anyone else have this problem? It also happens with the vis window when I have the drawer set to open downwards. It just pushes the PL window down, even though the PL window is nested in the lower right corner of my desktop.

winamp 5 RC8 is unable to detect bit rate and sound mode with winamp 3 skins...i tried reinstalling and a clean install and still no go... the bit rate and sound mode dont show up when playing a mp3 when using winamp 3 skins

....using windows xp sp1...they worked fine with beta 2...and other files types show up correctly such as streaming audio and OGG vorbis....also strange how it says optimal speed is 15ms on my athlon 3200+ but on my old 1800+ it says 10ms is optimal...

Picture Box in Winamp 5

There is a bug with the id3v2 Picture Box plugin in the beta 2 version. This plugin displays a picture box showing the cover art picture that is imbedded in the MP3 file. In the beta 2 version, a picture is displayed for the first track played when Winamp 5 is opened. The problem is that it never changes to the picture imbedded in subsequent tracks.

This procedure worked perfectly in Winamp 2.91 (and earlier versions), and also in Winamp 5 beta 1. Doesn't work in Beta 2.

I contacted the plugin author, and he indicated that he will not be researching this problem. Since it has been working perfectly before, it does appear to be a Winamp problem.

Cannot reproduce. Anyone else?
Tried with MMD3, FusionAmp, Boom, Invicta, and a few others.
All display kbps, khz and stereo perfectly ok.

also strange how it says optimal speed is 15ms on my athlon 3200+ but on my old 1800+ it says 10ms is optimal

I think it auto-suggested 10ms on all ~1GHz+ machines in b2. I guess this was changed/fixed to make sure too many people didn't moan about high cpu-usage, without realizing it was because they'd set timers resolution to 10ms.

microsoft multimedia keyboard does not work in "modern" skin mode but fine in "classic"

this sucks because the notification window rules man

it worked fine in older versions of winamp2x 3x 5x

hmm ive noticed that the stats update when i switch skins only... i would switch to a skin then it would update but only when i switch...i could load another mp3 after that and it would just keep previous stats....the default modern skin does not do this however...but all winamp 3 based skins do....classic skins work fine

Right you are.
Thanks for the extra reproduction info.

Bug now confirmed & reproduced.

With a track playing in modern skin,
switch to another skin, eg. MMD3
Click "Next"
Note, it may change from 'stereo' to 'mono' here.
Play a file that you know has a different bitrate,
note no display change.
Click "stop".
Play a new track.
Note how it says 'mono', and kbps & Khz fields are now blank.

(Athlon XP 2400+, 512 DDR, GF4, WinXP, DX9.0b, WA5rc8, no 3rd-party plugins)

If anyone else can reproduce this, please say so below.

[edit]
hmm, not all 3rd-party skins include this feature.
I guess it could be an MMD3-specific bug.
Talking of which . . . koalla2 skin just crashed my winamp. bleh
Faulting application winamp.exe, version 5.0.0.0, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00000000.

thank God i'm not the only one

...this does not happen on my old 1800+ however and I did use RC8 with MMD3

FAO DJ Egg.. (sorry to crosspost, just realised to post these here)

The following two issues that I previously reported at 5.0b1/b2 are still here at rc8:

1. Windowshade mode behaviour in modern skins when glued to the bottom/right of the screen (make it like the classic skins please)

2. Problem with DirectSound outputs for my DSP factories not ending in as they should with '#2' in winamp, therefore not able to select outputs on my second card.

I reported both the above to you in earlier threads with more detail, let me know if you need more info.

Also I reported this in WA discussion..

3. Just noticed in WA5 rc8 that when playing AAC files (ripped with WA therefore using the inbuilt plugin) the spectrum analyser appears to be wrong. Medium and HF seem to make the lower bars pulse and LF seems to make the more middle bars pulse. Difficult to describe but it seems definitely wrong and not correlating with the music as it should.

The same file ripped as MP3 displays correctly in the analyser although I have a sneaking suspicion that its been more accurate and in more accurate time with the music in earlier releases of WA5 (just a hunch though, its very minor with MP3).

I used the Sting song "Inside" for the test which ends with a simple acoustic riff which, in AAC is making the bottom bar pulse strong but in MP3 a spread of bars 4,5,6 which is what I would expect. Also in AAC sub-Bass thumps are making the middle bars pulse etc etc..
