Hi Dro,

here is my second attempt at providing feedback.

Streaming: Lightning-fast connections to the servers. I’ve never seen it happen this quickly before—it’s truly impressive.

Visualizations: None of the Advanced Visualization Studio (AVS) plugins are working; the screen remains dark. Geiss and MilkDrop, however, run well.

The "Portables" plugin should definitely be kept—at the very least to support iPods and USB flash drives that are recognized as mass storage devices. That would likely cover 90%+ of all external MP3 players, flash drives, and hard drives.

Preview Build Discussion / Re: Local Library export yes, but where to import?

« on: Today at 06:56:38 PM »

Hi Dro,

I wanted to import an existing local library db.
Export the local library is done by a .csv file.
For the import there's no option or path/file "invalid".

Can you please describe how to do the import?

As described in the subject line: How can I import a previously exported library into another (or a new) library?
I cannot find a way to do this.

No issue playing that station. Needs less than 1 second to play.

Code: [Select]

wd9895: The station list is updated daily against what I'm able to obtain from a number of sources so unless they're all messing up then that shouldn't be the problem. Examples would be helpful of ones that aren't behaving so I can inspect them.
Hi Dro,
my favourite playlist of online stations plays properly, but these are commercial broadcasters who transmit 24/7.
The provided list is partly not useable or these stations send only on specific hours.
Samples? Just try it. I have the impression of 30% not playable.

I noticed the same: Many stations do not answer.
I checked the previous version and updated the cache of internet stations afterwards.
Result: Many are not playing.

I concluded that the list is a bit outdated as my personal favorite radio stations stream properly wo. any issues.

Resolved Issues / Re: [WORKS AS EXPECTED VS BAD TAGGING] Build #24496 (May 8th 2026) - Library issue

Hi Dro,

you're right - everythink comes with proper and acurate tag data. I was just surprised about various album entries on the same artist. If you consider a CD sampler with 40 songs and artists you'll get 40 albums. That's a bit weard.

Anyhow, now it's clear. I could even identify wrong information in my library and corrected it.

Thank you.
Cheers

Hi Dro,

sorry but herewith your find some data.

Album view in library view. Column "Artist" shows correct name.
Mysterious to me is the separation in two album. Root cause is the information in "Album Artist". If I correct this manually the two albums become one.

A comparision of the file metadata show the differences and the impact on the doubling of the album.

Build #24496 (May 8th 2026)

There seems to be a library issue. Artist and Album Artist are mixed up.

Exanple:
I have a ripped CD from George Benson. The songs are stored in one folder and should appear as one collection from song 1 to 10.
But it appear in 2 CDs with same album name "20/20".

The issue was the one CD carried "George Benson", the other "Benson, George" but not in Artist name but in Album Artist. But the column in the library is just "Artist".

After manual correction of "Album Artist" the CDs appeare as one.

I have several issues found in my database which do not appear under original Winamp release as the column "Artist" reads right field from metadata correctly.

I hope to have described the issue properly enough for your debugging.

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?

Preview Build Discussion / 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?
