CD Art Display RC4 (formerly Winamp CD Case)

[Carlospr]

fede777,

The only way to make CAD work with albums is ID3 tag.

1) Go to "Control Panel>Read cover" then make sure to "Add" the following pattern:

%coverfolder%%filename%.jpg

2) Go to "Control Panel>Download" section and write the following pattern:

%coverfolder%%filename%.jpg

Thanks now it's working, i guess i'll have to find a way to complete at least the artist, title and album ID3 tag.

Does anybody know any software that searches artist title and album automatically

How does it feel to know that i googled just to find a way to toalk to you ???

[Carlospr]

That's cool!

This is one of the best programs ever! Only a couple problems, first of all there should be a timer or something on the balloon tip because it never goes away, only when you x it out. And finally there should be an option to keep or discard the cd cover that it finds because sometimes they're not right. Oh and I'm using build 381 with itunes by the way.

[Carlospr]

1) Balloon: CAD uses the system balloon and it goes away if you're using your mouse or keyboard

2) Go to "Control Panel>Download" and check "Prompt before download" then you'll have more control

[younghova]

Ok thankyou, well this is the best program ever! Great work Carlospr.

Hi, nice app.. but lots of 'to do'

Using lastest beta with foobar 0.83 (winamp spam plugin ver. 0.74):

- Choosing foobar in control panel leads to hidden cover and tags text, but control buttons works, I'm used to choose winamp

- CAD don't start with player (need to start CAD with checked 'start player')

- Progress Bar seeking don't work; btw, how to make it vertical with horizontal case - what par in skin.ini I must change?

- Is it possible to have tag like - composer / label ?

PS> I've tried foobar 0.9 final with winamp spam beta dll - the same situation..

San Antonio,

Make sure to use the last build:

http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/cadrc4b401.zip

1) it's working here (CAD build 401)

2) foobar2000 can't start CAD unless someone makes a plugin to do so

3) the progress bar itself (just to show the track progress) should work (foobar2000 still has some limitations)

4) I'll add your suggestion to my to do list

PS) CAD is designed to work with foobar2000 0.9x and the last Winamp plugin.

Hi Carlos

I'm back after a bit of a break, great work on the program, I like the addition of the third line.

Good Luck with it and I hope to help out again soon.

[Carlospr]

I'm glad that you're back Zaft!

[San Antonio]

Carlospr,

I have another (more annoying) problem.. Now it's with russian tags. I don't know how correctly describe it, cuz some tracks have correct russian tags.. Btw, this is a screenshot..

San Antonio,

CAD does NOT have full unicode support only if the used charset is within the ANSI encoding (character codes 0 to 255).

It's a Visual Basic 6 limitation that is not simple to bypass.

[San Antonio]

Carlospr,

hmm... maybe I can solve it by appropriate taging? How to tag only with ANSI? Sorry for such questions.

[Carlospr]

San Antonio,

You'll only get it to work properly if you translate your tags into English.

Read about ANSI and Unicode here: http://www.vc-net.ne.jp/~klivo/sim/standards.htm

CAD RC4 Build 502 (31 Jul 2006)

- CADPinHelper module added (*)

- CAD will read the "RATING" frame from a mp3 (for foobar2000)

- Bugs fixed and some improvements added

(*) This module (CADPinHelper.exe) will be started once CAD is pinned to desktop and it's useful if explorer crashes then CAD will be restarted after all. Without the new module CAD just stops working. If you don't want to use it just don't copy it to CAD folder.

Thanks v.much!

When are some new skins going to be released? Or is there another site that has any?

[Carlospr]

You can find the CAD skins here (all of them updated for the upcoming RC5/last builds):

http://www.closetosoftware.com/?s=cadskins

[younghova]

You think that in the next update you could make it so that we can change the color of the fancy rating?

[Carlospr]

The fancy rating color is a skin design matter. CAD just loads the image from the skin.

[jato]

Anyone willing to port some of the avetunes skins released for e.g.

[younghova]

Or this avetunes skin.
