[in_mp3] streaming id3v2 support
This bug was living for more than 5 years now. Good to see that it is fixed now.
ML sync support for USB players is a great thing, too. And good that they removed the predixis crap from the installer.
Anyone have a link to their changes to ATF?

Back to topic:
Will Winamp support FLAC out-of-the-box?

Some of us are governed by cats at home. Anyone who has cats knows, it's a home monarchy of cats. This is my cat/queen in my avatar. She governs with some arrogance, as you can see in the picture.

Cats are awesome. You best live with it, it's a fact.
Errrrr, does Winamp support id3v2 2.4 by now? I stopped updating it a while ago...
(edit: typo)
Way OT, but whats it with all the cats in the avatars in this post?
I've just moved over to England from Australia, sadly leaving my cat Keira behind. My avatar features her, strutting in my Mum's backyard, letting everyone know who
truly owns the place.
@ everyone: Thanks for the laughs . Cats are fun, and I love dogs too. Used to have both as pets but now living in an apartment where I cannot have them.
@pepoluan: FLAC is not supported out the box.
@Borisz: It now reads ID3v2.4 and any tag updates on a file which already has ID3v2.4 is done in the same format ie, ID3v2.4. However, when creating new tags, it seems to be writing ID3v2.3 tags.
@pepoluan: FLAC is not supported out the box.
I seem to remember reading on the Winamp forums not too long ago that FLAC support is being worked on and will be featured in a future version.
The cat in my avatar is my 15 year old, Felicia. She and I go way back. I've had cats in my avatar since before it was hip.
Thanks for the link benski. I find it interesting to see how foobar2000's titleformatting syntax and ATF are diverging, when they both derive from the same source.

Is it fully ID3v2.4 compliant now?
I think Peter was the first one with a cat avatar, if my memory serves me correctly.

That's a cat !? I didn't know what what kind of animal that is, i thought it's a panther or something exotic. Btw. i have 5 cats plus possible kittens somewhere (we haven't found them yet, maybe they're dead already), but i do not follow the fashion
And a mod should move the cat related discussion to somewhere else
Hmm. To (partly) answer the questions:
This was in the 5.20 changelog: * Improved: [in_mp3] preliminary id3v2.4 support
I think that suggests that it is partly done, but has still to be finished.
Unicode support was preliminarily introduced with 5.20 as well and seems to be finished now (except for the Media Library).
AFAIK Flac support is planned
EDIT: (removed incorrect assumption)
No FLAC support yet? Aww durn.
Well, in the meantime... there seems to be 2 FLAC input plugins, one FLAC's official, another one (earlier) has support for ML. Which one do you recommend to use?

The one with ML support is the latest version of FLAC 1.1.2 modified with ML support. It is fine and the one I recommend, but I sure wish FLAC support with ML was built into WinAMP by default so all my song listeners could download WinAMP without having to go find and install an add-on FLAC filter....
Anyway here is the link to the better FLAC input playback filter (ie. better than the "official one" which has no ML support). Note: The author also puts out a FLAC encoder too, which is also available separately on his site:

@goodnews: Thanks! I'll be using that, then.
I luv the Winamp interface, brilliant work, thanks for a new release.
When is bult-in APE tags support planned then please?
P.S.
Cats rule!
Winamp Preferences -> Media Library -> CD Ripping -> Encoder
Select: MP4/aacPlus (HE-AAC) encoder v1.21 as Encoding Format
Then I see that:
MP4 Container Options is set to "Accurate Information" by default.
Maybe change the default to "Backwards Compatible"?
The "accurate" files can't be decoded by pure LC AAC decoders. iTunes does not play these files, iPod does not play these files, for example.
PS: The "Backwards Compatible" information is just as "accurate" as the "Accurate Information" anyway.

We would like FLAC support, but although the FLAC library is under a BSD licence, the orginal FLAC plugin is under the GPL (and hence the updated one with ML support also has GPL'd code in it). We can't include GPL code in winamp for obvious reasons.
If the FLAC guys could put that code under the same BSD licence as the FLAC library, then we'd LOVE to include it in winamp. But until they do, we can't.

Thanks for this explanation about the problem with adding FLAC support to WinAmp.
Hopefully, Josh Coalson (the FLAC developer) will see this post and choose to contact you to change the license from GPL to BSD to meet your needs of including the FLAC plug-in built into WinAmp.
Thanks for your willingness to add the FLAC support to WinAmp that the many users have been asking for.
Huh, GPL is a viral license. That's why I hate it so much.
Anyways, somewhile ago I stumbled to a site listing the various open-source and/or free licenses (incl. GPL, LGPL, original BSD, modified BSD, MIT, etc.) nicely listing their origins, their effects, etc. etc. etc. but I can't seem to find it again.
If anyone knows the URL, do post here, for reference so that future free/open-source developer will not use a wrong license for their projects.
Boy, I'd really like to see proper cuesheet support built into Winamp. Can one feasibly expect that within the lifespan of my children?
Boy, I'd really like to see proper cuesheet support built into Winamp. Can one feasibly expect that within the lifespan of my children?
There are many plugins that offer very good cue sheet support for Winamp. Is it that difficult to download a plugin and install it? Like 1% of the user population probably needs it, so why ship it when there are several plugins that adds support for it?
I haven't looked into it recently, but the last time I looked, there was only one really hokey plugin that opened an alternative playlist for cuesheets. I wasn't particularily fond of how it worked, and that was a big reason why I almost completely switched to foobar. Would you be so kind as to provide me with names, and even links, if possible, to what you think are very good plugins for cuesheets? I'd appreciate it.
Until foobar gets a CD+G player for karaoke, though, I'm stuck with winamp for some things. Winamp is also a good video player, of course.
try this http://winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=143011 (http://winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=143011) creates virtual files in the playlist
Hey, that works pretty good. Much, much better than MP3Cue. Thanks for the tip!

Hi, DJ-Egg:
Which is better, in_mp3.dll(v3.6) OR in_!mpg123.dll(v109.2)?
Previous beta crashes when calling
c:\blah\winamp.exe /UNREG
Which is done in the uninstaller
And in the new Beta that "accurate information" is still default for the MP4 HE AAC encoder.
Finally, Unicode support... I had believed this would never happen.
Are there plans for supporting APEv2 R/W one day?
For now I think that they will try to get IDv2.4 support finished (whatever is missing there). But it is in the winamp wishlist, and it might be done at some point:
APE v2 tags support
Hopefully planned for a later release... we shall see

I believe ID3v2.4 is fully unicode and ready now but it is the Media Library that's still missing some unicode functionality. At least, that's what the thread on the Winamp support forum seems to suggest.

Meaning that "accurate" information is still the default?
Aha! That's a sign for me not to download the latest build yet...
Next build will have backwards compatible set by as always-enabled.
Additionally, the file info box (Alt+3) logic has been changed to read the extension audio object, if it's present, from the decoder config. This will solve the problem where HE-AAC files were showing as AAC LC.

The Winamp Transcoder version 2.0 (12th August 2006) is pretty stable with this latest beta .
And it is the first build that allows converting MP3 files into other formats.
ReplayGain scanner currently doesn't work with Ogg Vorbis files.
Best Winamp release so far, looking forward for final.
The change only affected in_mp3 as you can see.
What kind of ReplayGain information is used? ID3v2 tag? APEv2 tag? LAME tag?
AFAIK Winamp doesn't support APEv2 tags at all. And since it lets you add the replayGain value with only IDv1 tags in place...
that leaves the lame tags?

ID3v2
But shouldn't Winamp add a IDv2 tag when applying the RG value? I have quite a lot of MP3s with just an IDv1 ta in place. For these files the RG value isn't added at all?

Winamp will add an ID3v2 tag, but it will only contain the TXXX/replaygain_* entries. The metadata stuff will 'fall back' on the ID3v1 tag if the information is not contained in ID3v2. If you have ID3v2 writing disabled, it won't write the replaygain info.

ID3v2
Forgive me if I'm incorrect, I'm new to this ReplayGain stuff.
Doesn't it make more sense to at least _read_ the Lame RG-values? As far as I know all modern Lame encoders store the value anyhow and given the popularity of Lame in the near future most MP3's will have this RG-values already stored inside.
Couldn't you use a routine where Winamp uses the Lame RG-values if there are no RG-values in ID3v2 or maybe even copy them to the ID3v2 field. That way you use info that's already there and don't have to scan probably the majority of a users MP3 files again.
How about replaygain for wma files??

Hmm. What happens with an IDv1 tagged file with only the TXXX/replaygain_* entry in the IDv2 tag if you add the IDv2 song metadata. Will the TXXX/replaygain_* entry continue to exist?
And will it continue to exist, if the song metadata (artist...) is removed (the IDv2 checkbox unchecked in the file info)?
No. As the RG info is stored in ID3v2, if you remove the ID3v2 tag then you also remove the RG info. Next build will show the (uneditable) Track & Album Gain values under the ID3v2 section of the File Info box.
Also, the TXXX/replaygain_* entry won't be overwritten when copying from ID3v1 to v2 (if RG was previously applied but there was no other metadata in the ID3v2 tag).
@Maurits
I could be wrong here, but I think it's only lame.exe which auto adds RG to the lame header, not lame_enc.dll, which is fine if you're using the commandline version (or EAC), but Winamp (and most other software/rippers) use lame_enc. Though I do kinda agree that it would be nice to read RG info from the Lame header if it exists, heh.

Thank you very much. Winamp is again my default audio player
Just tested replaygain scanner speed in build 857 on one mp3 album. It reaches about 35x realtime while foobar2000 scans at 90x.
Nonetheless very nice to see full replaygain support in a "mainstream" app like Winamp! (I think replaygains "fault" that keeps it from reaching greater publicity is it's complexity - most people don't get the concept at first glance - sorry for beeing off-topic here...)

Do you really think Winamp is mainstream? Ok the player is very popular, but I guess many Winamp users are advanced users, because Winamp is very flexible, you have tons of options.
I would say mainstream is WMP, RealPlayer etc, players with less options and and a simple GUI.
Winamp's ReplayGain just works fine, the new RG info in the tag editor is very useful. RG infos for Ogg Vorbis files are written in the vorbis comment field, finally I don't have to use vorbisgain.exe anymore.
