Winamp 5.5 Support by gatekeeper6838 at 5:43 PM EDT on September 22, 2007
Anyone gotten 64th Note to work in Winamp 5.5? I realize that this is a beta version of Winamp, but it's pretty sweet! Any plans to support this version?

Edit: I probably should have provided a little more info; If you try to play a miniusf file it will cause Winamp to crash. It also may not help that I'm running Windows Vista, however 64th Note seemed to work in Vista when I was running Winamp 5.35.

disable the spectrum analyser for the time being which should resolve the usability issue. it's still unclear if it's a winamp or a 64th Note issue (since things have been altered with winamp's handling of the spectrum analyser in the 5.36/5.5 betas) - just with everything else, there's not been the time with the winamp dev team to check out the issue so far (though it has been noted if only on my todo list).

Thanks for the tip! I got it to work using the Winamp Classic skin w/ analyzer turned off, but it still won't work in the modern skins. For now, when I listen to usf files I'll just switch over to classic. Keep us posted.

The official 5.5 version is out, and I can't get it to work at all.

have you tried the suggestion i made? alas we [winamp dev team] ran out of time with everything else that needed to be done (one of the failings of a forced release date time) to look into the issue (tho it seems like there's a few other plugins which are exhibiting the issue now)

Yes, I did. Still crashing.

Considering everything I've read about 5.5 so far, you have FAILED as a dev team.
by DrO at 4:11 PM EDT on October 13, 2007
Tanookirby: i've just re-tried it with a clean 5.5 install and it'll only play in the following cases...

Classic style skin + built in vis off
Classic style skin + built in oscilloscope vis

Any modern skin will cause a crash or classic skin + built in spectrum visualiser

i think i've found the issue and got a fix for winamp.exe causing the crash but will need to have it checked over and verified (i'm a total noob when it comes to asm)

If I disable the spectrum analyzer in 5.5, 64th note works fine.
by DrO at 8:30 AM EDT on October 16, 2007
just not using the spectrum analyser or modern skins sorts out the issue. is a corruption in some float to int code that for whatever reason craps out with the data in_usf and a few others pass onto winamp (weird i know since the popular formats don't have the issue with idential spectrum data being passed)

Does it involve the funky not-quite-44.1KHz/32KHz/22.05KHz frequencies, perhaps?

yeah this is bugging me too, but I find if it doesn't hard crash you can skip to the next song quickly and Winamp is fine. Either way I'm not gonna hear my N64 music...

what I'm wondering is if you can just turn off the spectrum analyzer for this kind of file?
by DrO at 12:23 PM EDT on October 20, 2007
you can't disable it for specific files and really is it just that difficult to disable the built in vis for a few weeks until 5.51 is shipped...

hcs: overzealousness in rounding the values down causing things to try and index from [-1] was the issue

by gatekeeper6838 at 12:42 AM EDT on October 23, 2007
Yeah. As I said before, I can only get it to work in classic mode with the analyzer turned off. It sucks, especially if you like the new Bento theme. But, that's the price you pay for adopting new software. It could be worse... it could have stopped working entirely.
by DrO at 8:49 AM EDT on October 23, 2007
well it's the best (and only) workaround and until 5.51 ships there's little else that can be done (unless you revert to 5.35 which won't work correctly with bento from what i remember as it needs 5.5+ features)

how about you just use a build that has the visualization code removed?
by gatekeeper6838 at 1:05 AM EDT on October 25, 2007
Is such a build floating around out there somewhere, or would you have to compile it? If you had to compile it, could you disable the visualization code without much effort?
by unknownfile at 10:56 AM EDT on October 25, 2007
yeah, it's just a matter of commenting out some 1-3 lines. i'll build it if you want.
by Omega at 2:03 AM EDT on October 26, 2007
I know I'd want such a version, and suspect that anyone else using 5.5 would as well.
by hcs at 2:42 PM EDT on October 31, 2007
I just got the 5th email about this issue today, which (as with the others) I pointed to this thread. Glad to see people are listening to USFs and finding my address for complaints, but...
Any ETA for 5.51?
by DrO at 10:53 AM EDT on November 3, 2007
no idea (but considering the dire fortnight i've had with time on my pc for any coding, it'll probably be far sooner than i'd like).

5.51 beta build 1741 by JFD62780 at 10:08 PM EST on December 7, 2007
I dunno 'bout you folks, but if you're interested in a temporary quick fix, there's that Winamp 5.51 Beta currently in testing; just read the first post carefully so you know what to do with it! ;)

Yeah, I've been using it and it fixes the problem. I think it's a bit buggy though, but at least it plays USFs again.
by nensondubois at 10:30 PM EST on December 10, 2007
Yeah.
by Emil007 at 6:10 AM EST on December 21, 2007
5.51 Final is out.. i've tested a few usfs and it seems like they fixed the bug :)
abnormal sample rate mp3 encoder? by Franpa at 12:37 AM EST on March 3, 2008
is there a program that supports live recording of music at abnormal sample rates? would be good for turning these tracks into mp3's for play on my mp3 player >.>

i like optimal quality so that is why i am after something that can record them at there orignal sample rate.
