Just to let you know that Winamp CD Case works with Foobar2000 (0.8.3). Thanks to Rogue!

All you need is the Winamp API Emulator plugin for Foobar2000.

You can download it here: http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/foobar/

Just unzip in the Foobar2000 "components" folder.

erm... any difference compared to CDCovers by Samurize?

you don't have to install samurize

this is good for anyone who is samurizely-challenge

link for the beta6 is down....

use betanews mirror: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1

if you wanna try the latest build (Beta 7 Build 04)

http://www.closetosoftware.com/wccb7.zip

unzip into current beta 6 folder.

I'm install Winamp CD Case beta 6 but why some image didn't display one? i have put the image on the folder, but no image showing in cd case. but some can but some cannot . why?

Did you configure it?

In option > read cover tab > add folder.jpg, from covers' folder, artist - album.jpg

Also under download tab > enable download cover automatically from amazon.com

----------------------------------

New beta is out, http://www.closetosoftware.com/wccb7.zip

Now it's audio CD friendly.

When an audio CD is playing WCC will read and save all covers in one single folder (...\Winamp CD Case\Covers\) using the CD ID as a filename.

You don't have to configure anything, since WCC will automatically recognize an audio CD.

thanks ace!!! it works for me .

but i got a problem here , because all of my files is group into artist e.g Sum41 folder , but when downloading the album, i can only download 1 album, then after i click another song for other album for Sum41 , it cannot download anymore , so still need to separate my song into different folder according to album? a hard work to do since alot of songs

you could save the cover in this format: artis - album.jpg, put it in the same folder as your mp3

usually I manually search for covers at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.darktown.to/

ok thanks, it actually works . manually is too much hassle for me i just have to put all my file into same folder according to album and tadaa , the album is there

I actually thought you have all songs under 1 folder.

In that case use folder.jpg in each folder..

To complement this, use http://louhi.kempele.fi/~skyostil/projects/albumart/, its an album cover downloader.

anyone knows where to download cover for chinese songs album ?

thanks fariz.. do u know how 2 change the notifier's font?

under Skin Manager > Text tab > Line 1 (default Title) or Line 2 (default Artist Name)

why when i play different song..it still show same cover??

if all your songs is in one folder , it depends on your id3v2 tag
like mine , all my song dont have id3v2 so i depends on folder of my mp3 to get the folder

for example
I got Simple Plan as a folder
then inside got a subfolder 1st Album
and another subfolder for 2nd Album

both album will have different cover depends on how it search , you have to set in the Option > Read Cover page

if you have all your songs inside one folder , its probably the cover name is folder.jpg (where u set it in the Read Cover option, it will use it as a cover for all the songs inside the same folder)

Winamp CD Case Beta 11

The aim of the the first builds is to fix two major bugs:

1) WCC hangs with some bad ID3v2 tags
2) Switch song during fade in/out effects may crash WCC

And this first build of beta 11 tries to handle both issues.
