Song ratings cleared after changing tags

[FlyingPenguins]

It seems that on Winamp 5.572 under Windows XP, the rating that I create for a song is removed if I were to go to "View Song Info" for the song and click "OK", regardless of whether I change any of the tags or not. (It will not occur if I click "Cancel"."

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's a problem on my end, but I'm going to assume it's a bug, since this problem hadn't occurred on any previous version of Winamp.

D'oh!

Yup. Reproduced. Thanks

Here's the fixed ml_local.dll (v2.91)

Just download and (with Winamp closed) run the installer.

[FlyingPenguins]

Thanks! The problem no longer occurs.

Looks like the attachment was lost during the forum upgrade...

Posting the fixed ml_local.dll v2.91 again (same instructions as above)

Removed attachment as people are installing it on newer Winamp versions and reverting other fixes.

looks like ALL attachments were lost! a lot of my bugs had screenshots, the threads still have the paperclip showing attachments, but in the thread no attachment!

will it be fixed?

[DJ Egg]

No. Looks like all attachments from the past few weeks have been lost in cyberspace. Sorry :-(

[MrSinatra]

thats really disheartening.

so whats the status then of the bugs i filed? i never got replies to most of them.

Helo it doesn't seems to work on W7 64 bits with winamp 5.572 what is the process to test it in the good way? Thanks

[wickethewok]

Thanks! This was bugging me.

[kargaamel]

same as Nikolours I am on W7 64 bit and I don't see any changes. probably ml_local_291.exe isn't installing files to correct locations. can you give us the raw files located in the exe please?

thanks

[DJ Egg]

The only file that the ml_local_291.exe installer contains/installs is ml_local.dll to the %ProgramFiles%\Winamp\Plugins folder.

You can use 7-Zip to manually extract ml_local.dll, if you wish...

Sorry, but the above attachment is the only version of ml_local.dll v2.91 available
and the bug is definitely fixed in that.

(latest internal version is v2.92 and includes features/code which will only work with the next release of Winamp)

You probably need to run the installer as admin (via right-click menu) so it'll have permissions to write to %ProgramFiles%\Winamp

Wow,this is the first time I've had a bug that wasn't over 4 months old since someone else mentioned it...

Anyway, I will confirm running the EXE didn't do anything (I JUST spent the past couple of days migrating from XP x86 to 7 x64). There has been no change to the behavior.

Oh, I said mention I'm having a slightly different end result than the OP. For me, if I make any changes to the basic info tab, my rating automatically turns in to 5 stars.

[beatsandmelody]

Ok, it fixed our original problem, but now I have a new problem.

Now, when I try to edit some files, it just doesn't save the changes. I keep trying to change an album name for one of my albums, by using both CTRL + E and ALT + 3. No saved changes.

Really annoying. I don't have any 3rd party plugins.

After being fixed in 5.58-5.60*, the bug reappears in Winamp 5.61 (this time on Windows 7 64-bit). Installing the newer version of ml_local.dll that DJ Egg posted above solved the bug once again.
