Missing devices
« on: February 23, 2026, 10:42:22 AM »
Hey Dro, hey all the others who I don't know ;)

I'm missing a simple device control like in Winamp.
If I connect a USB stick or a MP3 player which identifies like a storage device I can manage file transfers in old Winamp but not in WACUP.

It's very helpfull to fill my MP3 device by Winamp so I was a kind of disappointed by WACUP.
Is there any work around to establish connection to a device?
Or a feature proposal/wish list?

The ml_pmp/pmp_* plug-in from 5.666 is installed (if selected as part of the install process) but it's not enabled by default because it's either not stable or that most don't needed it. Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Media Library -> finding ml_pmp & checking it in the list will enable it (best to allow it to restart wacup) but if it crashes there's nothing I can do about it & it's been talked about before about having a replacement but tbqh it's not something I have as a priority.

Thx !
I still have a iPods and GoGears in my family so that was a nice way to upload the music files wo. the proprietary outdated software.

Found both plugins in the WACUP installation folder but how do I activate them?

Using the checkbox in the list.
