Preview Build Discussion / Re: [Bug] NSFe playlist sort problem

« Last post by dro on May 09, 2026, 04:41:10 PM »

I had a feeling this was going to come up from the mess that was trying to ensure I got the titles correct based on the physical order of the items in relation to the plist order detailed in the file. Or are you saying that titles are wrong with the manner that it's being provided? As I thought I got it correct (have to pre-sort the plist & then use that to work out the needed nsfe_entry item to get the title from since the mega man one otherwise has a big gap in the initial block of songs used until the ones that are then at the end).

Preview Build Discussion / [Bug] NSFe playlist sort problem

« Last post by nelsonhf on May 09, 2026, 04:34:25 PM »

Hi, this is related to the following closed thread: [FIXED] [BUG] NSF/NSFe playlist incorrect for some files. After loading of the NSFe file the playlist should be sorted by the plst track order instead of a sequential order. Otherwise for files that play tracks in a non-sequential order, after the first track the name in the playlist and the track being played will not match. Sorry i didn't catch this earlier.

Preview Build Discussion / Re: [Bug] Edited metadata regresses to previous values, "update file tags" fails

« Last post by dro on May 09, 2026, 03:56:53 PM »

Saving metadata to mp3 files with the x86 build relies on the old in_mp3 plug-in from 5.666 & I am not at all surprised that it's not working correctly. The saving process will send to the local library (if present) & also to the input plug-in that claims to handle things for saving support. That's why if the save to the actual file didn't occur but it was able to make it into the local library (e.g helpful for vgm / virtual file formats), if you then edit things externally there's even more of a disconnect between the local library cached values & what the actual file might now have.

If using the x64 build (doesn't look it from the partial images) then there's no handling in place for mp3 files to even attempt to save them out & it just relies on the local library since none of that has yet been coded.

tl;dr: metadata editing is known to be a mess especially for mp3 & is another reason for why wacup is still deemed as a preview which needs to be sorted out later this year.

Preview Build Discussion / [Bug] Edited metadata regresses to previous values, "update file tags" fails

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on May 09, 2026, 03:33:23 PM »

When updating some mp3's metadata, it appears successful, but any subsequent edits to the same file metadata will regress previous edits. Additionally, some files will regress by themselves over time, effectively going back to previous metadata. It's unclear what causes this "timed" regression.

Selecting "Update file tags" checkbox in the metadata editor will give a "Metadata updating error" box, but it is unclear what causes this to fail, when other mp3 files will update their metadata correctly.

Worth noting that these same files can be successfully edited in other software such as mp3tag.

Screenshot show the metadata successfully changed in Wacup but not in the file metadata seen in explorer.

Repro steps:

• Right click a file in library
• Go to "edit metadata for selection"
• Ensure "update file tags" is UNCHECKED
• Edit the track name to something else
• Click update
• Track name appears to change
• Repeat steps but change the album title this time
• Album title updates, but track title will regress to before the above edit
• Open metadata editor again
• Ensure "update file tags" is CHECKED
• Change any metadata and click update
• Update fails

You've got to be not clicking on the correct divider - the cursor will change to a left-right arrow & it's the one I've got the arrow pointing to which needs to be clicked & dragged to the right to expand the area. As I can't get any of my test setups to not do that.

[edit]
If you still can't get it to show (maybe there's a mouse / OS dpi setting that's breaking things), you'll need to open your gen_ml.ini when wacup isn't running & remove the whole plsplitdiv line from the file. Preferences -> Advanced -> Diagnostic -> Settings Locations tab will show you the part for your gen_ml.ini file.

Thanks, it did show up,  no idea how it got there.

nirsoft's tool has been recommended a few times now & that's good to know you've got it back to working again.

That's odd as there's no obvious functional differences between the 2 build types when it comes to how the output plug-ins are done. Which build did you re-install? As it's now at 24496 as of this reply.

In the middle image there are 2 horizontal dividers in the middle of the media library window (the bar should change colour when the mouse is moved over it) so you just need to move the one that's to the right of the pair to expand out the area that has the list of the library playlists.
