Pc_Madness Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Holy **** album art support! That was the only thing stopping me from switching from iTunes. Hopefully its not that same web based crap in previous versions. *runs off giggling* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBfromMemphis Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 ok click an empty album (i.e meaning no album art), then from the playlist using file info (alt+3) go to the artwork tab then click the download artwork button. The artwork is being pulled from AMG AllMusic. If it has artwork, or multiple covers, available you can select which one is the right one for the album you're trying to find artwork for. I'm part of the group officially beta testing this for Nullsoft, so I'll help/report what I can. If you have any questions feel free to pm me, or you can go to the official Winamp Forums at http://forums.winamp.com if you have any further questions on this Winamp 5.5 Beta Preview 1. Thanks, and hope you enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The new beta looks alot like WMP11 now with the album art. I guess i have to use the standard 5 version. Althru, i love the darker theme of it :D :D funnily enough durring the Winamp 5 alphas/betas I was on the Winamp forum and in a topic asking for suggestions I recommended that they implement the media library in a more similar manner to WMP10's (I think WMP was 10 at the time) stating I felt it was lighter, quicker and made more sense. namely I felt the library was a bit too much of an afterthough element of the UI. This was followed with a more or less response of F** off and stop trolling and go back to WMP. Funny how thing's turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hiroshi- Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well this brought me back to Winamp, been using Foobar 2000 forever since I got sick of seeing Winamp's classic mode, and the modern skin felt like bloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
