How can I import plugins over from Winamp
« on: May 19, 2020, 01:24:29 AM »
Particularly dsp Stereo Tool?

EDIT: I think I got it, I found the .dll, copied, and moved it over seems to work.

Just to add to things since you've sorted it out... Copying the plug-in is one way though that doesn't always work if it relies upon additional dlls (within the WACUP/Winamp folder or runtime files that get installed globally) & it doesn't mean any custom settings will have been moved across subject to how the plug-in works. Ideally you should just be able to use the original plug-in installer & point it at the WACUP install folder & then it's just like installing it normally against Winamp (an area of compatibility that's needed as I want WACUP to be able to act as an in-place 5.66x update).

p.s. From your threads on the other forum, you shouldn't need to convert / re-encode your FLAC files to a different bitrate (which will be loosing audio data even if not perceptible depending on your hearing & audio system being used if they were created at the higher bitrate) nor changing to a different format (especially not ALAC which is much less portable as an audio format). As the crash issue you're having is not the FLAC files but is with how the 5.8 beta has built its libflac.dll (which does the FLAC decoding) for which 5.666 / WACUP (which uses a newer build of libflac.dll) should not experience & if it does then I'll be happy to have a look into what's going on.
