Just because a plug-in needs to be updated, doesn't mean that the software is shit.

Just wait for an updated version of the plug-in or for native support.

[JacknLime]

Thought this might have just been a troll thread but that is a good point. With the latest version there aren't any plugins that work for playing cue files. Very annoying as I have a tonne of mix cds ripped into mp3/cue.

Can the developers please have a look at implementing native cue support now that any previous cue support (via plugins)is now gone?

Apart from that the new version is nice

[DrO]

i'll actually correct things and have to say that the cue plugin used rather hacky methods which undoubtedly would and could be broken by core changes (as i've experienced myself with a few of my plugins). and i'll also add that the author of that plugin hasn't updated it in an age and has left some fundamental bugs in it as things stand before the unicoding of winamp.exe (which is why it doesn't work).

you're best waiting for a native implementation or use one of the other cue plugins out there in the mean time since unicode support is far more important than cue support which in all honesty is a niche area anyway so bitching isn't going to help things on that count.

The price of being modern software, many players have support for unicode, Winamp was missing this feature for ages.

The old devs never showed any interest in implementing this major feature in the 3.x/5.x core, because of a lot work and incompatibility problems with 3rd party plug-ins (like with the cue plug-in) I guess. Search the forums for unicode and read all the old threads.

Winamp can just compete with other players with unicode support.

Native CUE support is planned (take a look at the wishlist) so stay tuned. If this feature is so important for you, then use Winamp 5.23 until native support is there.

I hope to see a native implementation in the next version as well. Cue support is essential for up2date audioplayers. Don't sleep too long plz.

[DJ Egg]

Native .cue support is high up on the internal to-do/wishlist, but naturally we can't guarantee if/when, and I very much doubt it'll be for the next release.

The mp3cue plugin still works perfectly well (I've been using it for years, with no problems whatsoever), and has always been the officially recommended plugin anyway.

As for the Cue Player plugin, as already said, it's up to the plugin author to maintain compatibility. There's nothing we can do about it here.

[HeldImZelt]

Mp3cue doesn't virtually split the files to winamp playlist like cueplayer does for comfortable seeking but it helps to ease the pain.

How can we contact the devs to tell them about the new situation?

[DrO]

they already know and pestering isn't going to help get things done...

Simply contact the authors of MP3Cue or Cue Player and ask for an update.

For native support, you must wait, it's listed in the wishlist and as Egg said, it will come someday.

Also asking again and again bring nothing, as DrO said.

Unless you pester the third party author. that might get stuff fixed

I use it too and never had problem with it, even on winamp 5.3

You should update your Cue Player (in_cue.dll) to the latest version 0.5b (05.12.2005)

Yep, very hacky methods. But it wasn't those that brought it down. It was (as you said) those pesky new unicode functions. I would really like to know what you are refering to when you are talking about the "fundamental bugs" I left in there

Thanks

You'll be amazed how few people that actually send me any bug reports. You often find them faster by googling.

And by the way you can get the latest test-version 0.56 alpha (0.55 was never released) at http://etono.cplusplus.se/cueplay/downloads.xml and yes it (should) support 5.3.

Would be nice to get some feedback too.

[DrO]

there's issues with it's reporting of titles (reference issues on the last.fm winamp plugin) and it repeatedly when run via the msvc debugger could be seen to cause silent crashes on closing (which i even reproduced on a clean install of 5.2x at the time).
