Winamp 5.3 Released

[CraigF]

nice that k-meleon can crash gecko tho

[DJ Egg]

Fixed ml_local.dll attached (unzip to the Winamp\Plugins folder)

This fixes the bug where Track# shows as -1 for files with no Track# in tags (when using %track% in atf), and where unicode titles show as ****** in the playlist after adding the files to the media library database and unchecking "use library title information for playlist item formatting" in Prefs.

First post in thread has been updated accordingly.

Note that the version of ml_local.dll available in the 5.3 Update Pack (see link) also fixes a bug caused by ml_local which "breaks 'always on top' for other programs".

yay, that's good to hear since i've not even tested the plugin with it in the 5.25/5.3 test phase (since i know there is a unicode implementation of the bookmark api but wasn't sure if the ansi one was still working (though i think i might need to do some unicodifying of things along with a few other plugins it seems, heh)

Will, just a small question about the Flac decoder. From the other input plug-ins (in_mp3, in_vorbis) title formatting was removed from the configuration, because they now use just the ATF.

Is there any reason, why title formatting is still present in the in_flac configuration?

One of many reasons it didn't make the final cut

Well, thanks for your quick reply. Sorry for my question, I thought there was maybe another reason than time.

I upgraded from the last beta to 5.3, and now the font in the playlist is different for some reason? The time of the songs still looks the same as it used to. Did something get changed?

I am using the default, modern skin

[Trent187]

Also, what happened with the ID3v2 tags? There is something called "album artist" now and also all the years for the v2 tags were cleared.

EDIT: It seems ID3v2 tags years have been cleared for songs information I put in a while back. Recent years that I have inputed are still there.

whoo hoo! DJ Egg, you're my hero!

EDIT: It all works, just like you said. Does anyone know anything about getting unicode fonts to appear correctly with the modern skin TTF renderer on? My winamp is always windowshaded and when i turn it off the fonts get cut off and they look really ugly.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, the font mapper lets me do this.

ok, i'm sorry, but i'm new to this replaygain idea...

but it seems to be labeling all of my songs below 0db, making them quiter than originally were, is this normal for all songs? or what?

[Sawg]

Yeah, that's how it usually works.

[sekond]

ok, thanks

[DJ Egg]

I've got some that say eg. +0.5 or +1.65dB or whatever, and even the odd one or two that are +10dB, but yeah, in general most of them end up being somewhere in the minus region.

I'm glad I can work with Ben to improve Winamp. It's a program I've used a long long time now and I'm glad to be a part of it </mushystuff> hehe :P
