"Transcoding Failed"?

Aug. 27th, 2006

I have been using version 0.4 of this plugin to transcode FLAC to MP3, but found that when I installed software on my new PC that the ID information was not being copied to the transcoded file (empty ID3 tags and "unknown artist - unknown track" for a file name). Turns out there is a 2.0 version (woohoo!), but when I used it, I got a "Transcoding Failed. Transcoder doesn't support new 2.92 methods" error. What's that about?!?I was previously very pleased with this plugin, now it doesn't seem to be very useable for me. :( Maybe a future release will fix it.

cue support

May. 3rd, 2006

excellent plugin. don't know if it is possible to work with the cuesheet blocks but it would have been a good feature.

Works

Mar. 9th, 2006

5/5 Perfectly working plug-in. One thing tough... When it detects broken flac files it comes with 2 warning messages and stops the music. It would be nice if it just continued playing with the warnings appearing, of course, just not interrupting.

Works perfectly!

NB: turn OFF "Rescan at Startup" to install.

Oct. 5th, 2005

I too had that persistent and annoying problem with the installation of this plugin causing Winamp to crash once and forever. Even with the latest update of the plugin to version 1.1.2a, and Winamp upgraded to 5.094 Pro, this problem persisted, which bummed me out. (This is a 98SE box.) Like others, I was stuck unable to even load Winamp until uninstalling the plugin. Here's how I took care of the problem:1. Loaded Winamp.2. Cleared Media Library.3. Cleared playlist. 4. Set ML options to NOT rescan watch folders at program startup. (See the "Watch Folders" tab under the Media Library options dialogue. NOTE: it is not necessary to clear your actual Wach Folder list... ) 5. Closed Winamp6. Installed plugin, opting to NOT run the inflac program (uncheck that box thingy). 7. Restart Winamp. 8. Winamp should start up fine. 9. You can now go ahead and re-load your media library, and re-opt to scan watch folders at startup if you wish. If all has gone well, you will NOT have Winamp crashing at every startup now.

good but...

Sep. 19th, 2005

That's good but I prefer the one by Giacomo Margarito. This one is bigger and install more files. Giacomo Margarito's one is smaller and install only one file in_flac.dll (the needed one)!

Doesn't work with WinME

Jun. 17th, 2005

Works fine with WinXP.Crashes Winamp on startup with WinME.I didn't see anything that said it wasn't supposed to work with WinME.
- Fred Neylan

needs to fully support vorbis_comment!

Jun. 1st, 2005

Your plugin, like the official one, is still lacking a major must-have for a format with such a dynamic tagging system: the ability to add/edit/view "extended" tags, i.e. anything other than Title, Artist, Album, Track, Date, Genre, and Comment... See the ogg-vorbis plugin for a nearly perfect example for what i mean.
- Mike Schmitt

Excellent

A perfect, seemless integration of FLAC into Winamp.

Excellent with one small glitch

Mar. 15th, 2005

Excellent - also works with Joonas' new dynamic library. Just one small glitch: average bitrate is displayed when `show average bitrate' is *disabled*, and vice versa.

A nice update to the existing plugin

Mar. 2nd, 2005

Can't argue with Media Library support. Can't argue at all. :DA nice example of does-what-the-tin-says for a change, instead of does-this-and-this-and-this-and-this-too (and the memory footprint only goes up by 17mb!)... Plus flac generally is an ace format, so if people are hacking the source to add their improvements, I'm all for that. :thumbsup:
- Christopher Woods

Works great!

Download -> Install -> ListenNo problems with this plug-in at all, it just worked as advertised.

Crashed Winamp

Jan. 13th, 2005

Every time I tried to load the program it would not let Winamp run. Tried it a few times with the same result
- Kram Regnirps

Excellent Work

Dec. 27th, 2004

At last I can have my FLAC files in the Media Library with the correct info in the metadata fields. I was getting fed up of the latest, broken official FLAC plug-ins not correctly pasring the metadata for the Media Library. This has saved me from using the old, more buggy plugins; it's a god send.When combined with your FLAC encoder, it makes it that much better.

Flac the best

Dec. 25th, 2004

the flac plugin is the best. The online music stores should offer flac as well as mp3s. Lovers of Classical music would welcome this.
