Hello DrO and the WACUP community, I am a long-time user trying out the modern WACUP with my Opus files. I noticed that when I open the "File Info" (Alt + 3) and look at the Basic Info tab, some detailed technical information about the codec vendor (like Vendor: libopus 1.5.2) is missing, unlike in the older, official Winamp with a separate Opus plugin (see attached images for comparison).
There seems to be plenty of room for this information on the basic tab.
This information is helpful for verifying the source of my audio files.
It would be a great addition if these specific technical details could be visible in the Basic Info tab, similar to how the older plugin handled it, instead of having to go into a raw data view.

Oh. I read your explanation about the VU meter. That's noticed. For the missing length column I'd like to be more precise of what I mean. Please have a look on the attached pic. For your reference: I made a complete new installation and a new import of library.

It shouldn't be crashing at all from those actions & causing you to try to find workarounds which might be what's causing it to occur or can make it fail differently. What build type & version of wacup are you using & does wacup's crash reporter run when it's failing on you?
Ratings go into the local library db which tries to auto save out of needed once there's not been any activity or enough dirty entities are deemed to have occurred.
Library playlists should show a save button on the view or will save out when the action being done to them completes if not within the selected playlist view.
The main playlist with the undo plug-in installed should make backups when any change occurs to it.
I just can't remember if it's on the undo or autoplay prefs page or somewhere else that the timed trigger for storing any changed settings option is still on which would then do the local library save as well. But setting that too often will cause ui hangs & is more likely to trigger a crash.

I'm trying to rate and add various songs to playlists but sometimes the program will crash and I lose all progress since I last closed it, currently I just close WACUP every now and then to save all my changes but is there a way to make it autosave everything I've done so I don't have to redo any work I've put in?
(I'm less interested in fixing the crashing issue, it's infrequent and doesn't happen when just playing songs normally)

I still can't replicate the missing length column issue that you've mentioned here & also mentioned again in the thread about vu meter issues which I've not seen anyone else report it. The only obvious thing since it seemingly can get that information is to run a refresh of the local library or just attempt to do it on a specific selection within one of the local library views & see if that makes a difference.
If it still doesn't make a difference when using 23518 (or a newer build depending on when this is seen) then I could do with a screenshot of the local library view showing what you're seeing (maybe the sizing of the column vs trying to reduce drawing of non-visible elements vs potential OS dpi related handling is conflicting) & a copy of the library.dat & library.idx files from the settings folder (preferences -> advanced -> diagnostics -> settings location tab will provide your paths). The library.dat/.idx files should be pm'd instead of posting here & depending on the size of them you might need to upload to some external hosting if they won't fit within the pm attachment size limits.

You are fast Confirmed, the left VU meter in the Classic Skin is dead on 32bit version.
Another phenomon which I might have heard also in the previous beta: The 32bit version sounds "better". I have to check settings of equalizer and used outpot plugin.
The length column is still empty but I'm confident for the future Have a good Monday start into the week !

Based on the code not having changed around the handling it's actually an older bug (potentially going back to 2024) which 23518 just happens to be more likely to trigger. As it's still possible for it to work but is more likely to fail when using a modern skin. I'm still double-checking changes I've made as I've not seen it happen with them but as it could work before am being cautious.
