Winamp v2.9   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1083 of 6150 |
Anyone using Winamp may be interested to know Nullsoft are still developing Winamp2 and are currently working on version 2.9.  The main advantage I can see with this version is they have adopted a completely different algorithm for the PCM equaliser and it sounds much better.  My Ogg files now sound as good as my MP3's.  I've been using beta 2 myself for a few days straight without problems.

http://www.nullsoft.com/cookie

Here are some of the improvements:

* added integrated full featured video support (NSV and DirectShow (AVI,ASf,MPEG,etc))
* added library (complete with media database, shoutcast listing, playlist editing,
   CD listing, mass tag editting, plugin API for portable devices, and more!)
* updated PCM equalizer with code from 4Front Technologies/George Yohng. Quality is a lot better.
* updated equalizer default skin to show the true +12db/-12db range (the 20db was a veeery old typo)
* added track numbers and song lengths in HTML generated playlists
* added digital audio extraction in in_cdda.dll
  (needs WNASPI32.DLL under Windows 9x/ME)
* added Alt+M shortcut for minimizing Winamp
* added Ctrl+(Keypad +)/Ctrl+(Keypad -) shortcuts in playlist editor for changing font size
* fixed stop after current menu item trash related bug
* added ultravox support for in_mp3
* made in_mp3 not display 'unknown X' for empty id3 tags

I get Jetstream next week so I will likely be testing some Ogg Vorbis streaming using IceCast2 and OddCastDSP.  (http://www.icecast.org, http://www.oddsock.org/tools)

Cheers.
Ross.
