General Discussion / Re: WACUP 1.99.54.24960 crash

« Last post by Nukesforbreakfast on September 07, 2026, 10:26:38 PM »

Alright, I tried to perform the in-app update and it crashes before it can open the UAC prompt to apply the update. I've tried uninstalling multiple times selecting "yes" to remove all of the settings data, allowing the installer to automatically restart the PC, and it still remembers the last song, point in time in the song, and the last playlist when I re-install and re-launch WACUP.

If I do the portable install, the issue does not occur. The non-portable install still crashes on the same machine while the portable install of WACUP runs fine. I suspect there's something corrupted laying around somewhere that causes the non-portable install to behave badly. Is there documentation on how I can manually delete all of the files on my local disk and any registry keys that WACUP sets to effectuate a completely clean reinstall?

Wishlist / Feature Requests / ListenBrainz submission support

« Last post by NotTheActualSean on September 06, 2026, 01:54:11 PM »

ListenBrainz is a music scrobbling site, much like Last.fm, but open-source and tightly integrated with its sister project MusicBrainz. I hacked together my own little tool to submit using the now playing log file feature, but native support would be great to see, and probably more reliable.

Its API is pretty simple, at the very least you just send a 'single' event with as much metadata as you can muster (or even exact MBIDs if the file tags have them) after listening to a track. Support for the 'playing_now' event and the ability to love/hate tracks would be also good to see.

Preview Build Discussion / [Bug] Removing folder from "Folder Monitor" does not remove files from library

« Last post by VulgarAscetic on September 06, 2026, 01:20:42 PM »

Removing a previously scanned folder from Media Library Folder Monitor does not remove those files from the library.

I had a library across two drives "P:" and "M:". On scanning both, all the tracks in library duplicated as expected. However, removing M: from the Folder Monitor did not remove the tracks from my library, and I don't seem to have any option to do so now.

"Scan Folder Now" option does nothing, and "Automatically remove missing files" is not a valid option as the files technically do still exist on both drives.

Screenshots show the library tracks are duplicated, despite only one folder appearing in Folder Monitor.

Repro steps:
1. Have music files located in two separate folder locations
2. Add both folders to the Media Library Folder Monitor
3. "Scan folder now" on both folders
4. Observe all files appear in WACUP library as expected
5. Remove one folder from Media Library Folder Monitor
6. Observe those files incorrectly still remain in the library

Expected Result: Removing a folder from Folder Monitor should remove the files from the library, or there should be an explicit option to do a kind of "purge" of the library.

I have the media library options for double/click enter set to play and start with selected (see attachment), unless I missed something. It works as expected for the local libraries, but not for CDs, it always plays only the selected track.

I also just noticed there IS an eject button of the bottom of the library, it's just moved to the right; I completely missed it. But neither it nor the context menu entry seem to work reliably either... Unfortunately, I'm not sure why.

The number of us who still use CDs on PC is no doubt vanishingly small nowadays, I don't blame you for investing time elsewhere At least most of the issues have workarounds.

I've not actively tested cd playback nor the views in a while so it's very likely from other core changes made since I did that things may have regressed / broken. Problems with artwork was also reported but I've still to get a drive hooked back up in my machine to do any testing of the handling.

As for comparing to 5.666, none of the cd or media library handling relates to it & hasn't used any 5.666 plug-ins to do it for long time now (since the x64 build appeared) so problems with any of this are all down to my code alone.

The enter / double-click handling has some control options on the media library root prefs page so that might get it to how you need as I can't remember what I set the default to be (there's things that I default differently compared to what winamp did as that's what I prefer most of the time).

Preview Build Discussion / CD related feedback

« Last post by NotTheActualSean on September 05, 2026, 07:07:06 PM »

First off, thanks for working on WACUP, Winamp is excellent and it's great to see its legacy be maintained. It works almost flawlessly for me, but I have noticed a few things when playing Audio CDs. I'm using the 1.99.54.24960 32-bit build.

• Trying to play the CD from the left-hand side of the Media Library, via double-clicking or using the context menu items, only ever seems to work once. Once a CD is played via these methods, the only way to get them to work again seems to be restarting WACUP. Double-clicking seems flaky on Winamp 5.666, so there might be some reason behind it, but the context menu always worked there.
• Double-clicking/pressing Enter on a single track replaces the queue with just that track and plays it; on 5.666 it replaced the queue with the whole CD and started playing from the selected track, like with the local library.
• Ejecting a CD while on the CD page just causes the list to go blank; presumably, it should go to the "no disc is present" screen.
• If you insert a CD while on the Audio CD page. WACUP does not correctly refresh and list it, you have to navigate away and back to the CD. If the list was blank due to the above, it will show "no disc is present", and if it was already on that screen it stays there. 5.666 handles ejections and insertions properly.

There's also a couple of lesser things I may as well add while I'm here:

• 5.666 has an eject icon in the left list of the Media Library, and eject button on the bottom of the CD view. WACUP only has the context menu item.
• WACUP seems to pull CD album art from MusicBrainz; there's a "view artwork" button in the CD view, but doesn't seem associate it with track metadata, so it doesn't show in the Album Art window etc.
