No worries... Thank you for taking the time to look at this!
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18798 (April 7th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)
NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.
Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Replaygain was not enabled. I actually tried enabling it and dropping the level down to see if it helped, but it did not so I put it back to off. As an experiment, I also tried modifying the MP3 file gain directly, from a low of 65db avg and then to 110db avg, which show an obvious change in the built in classic visualizer, but even on a quiet track on the low gain case, the data to the LCD plugin is still mostly maxed out.
A little more info on the title issue, after going through many songs, it is only the artist name portion of the tag that seems to having a problem. It seems the first word in an artist's name gets removed. If the artist has a single word name, the name does not appear on the LCD, just the title and date. If they have a two word name, only the second name makes it. If they have a three word name only the last two words make it and so on.
Hope some of this is helpful. Have a nice weekend.

Hello,
First thank you for keeping Winamp alive! I have been using a crystalfontz drive bay LCD with my systems for a long time. They provided a plugin (vis_cc2.dll) for Winamp that allows the LCD receive and display information about the current track Winamp is playing. (it can even control winamp via some buttons on the LCD, but I do not use that feature). I use the plugin to display track artist - title - date information as well as a spectrum analyzer visualization on the LCD. This worked from Winamp 2.x through 5.666 ( even 5.8 ) without any issue. However, with WACUP the plugin seems not receive the Artist information or if it does it is incomplete most of the time (title and date seem to work). Also, the spectrum analyzer portion of the plugin gets data, but it seems as if WACUP outputs this with the gain so high (compared to how stock winamp does) that the spectrum analyzer appears as if all levels are almost completely maxed out making the output useless. I will attach the plugin DLL if it helps. Thanks for any help in getting this working again.
