The title basically says it all if you don't want to read my likely rambling thoughts, etc.
When I set this up there'd already been a beta tester group in place for some time & I didn't want to make this into a pay to beta test option. However it's come up a number of times now that tha...

WACUP beta build 1.7.1.11862 is now available to the beta testers & might finally have resolved the stability issues from the WACUP code that have been plaguing it over the last few months.
x86 & x64 changelogs are at 2022-06-06 16:01:43 +0000 UTC View Post
Have posted a short(ish) blog post about some thoughts now that Winamp has turned 25 years old today from when the first public version was made available.

#WACUP #beta build 1.6.4.11096 is now available to the beta testers in x86 & x64 flavours & brings a 120+ line changelog for both builds covering a whole range of additions, needed changes & fixes. The changelogs are at 2022-04-04 22:26:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Not sure how this update is going to come out as it hasn't been the best of months with no beta build though there's been a lot of testing including some who've been running interim builds to help validate & resolve some specific & at times long running issues that have been affecting the...

A few days later than planned here's the new #WACUP #beta builds for 2022 with Friday's 1.6.1.10342 & the newly uploaded 1.6.2.10456 from today available for the beta testers in x86 & x64 flavours. The changelogs are at
Another month & another year of WACUP & it's fair to say it's not where I'd have expected things to be when I started on this 6 years ago with a plug-in pack that's now evolved into the potential of it's own player. So to those who've stuck around all of this time & who are helping to...

Four in a row, woo :) Well another month & I suspect like a lot of us it's been another weird one in either not meeting the goals planned or things just getting in the way. However it's gone I can only hope it's been as best as possible whatever the circumstances. So onto this month's s...

Just in before the month is over #WACUP #beta 1.5.8.9478 is now up for the beta testers. Its mostly about improving WACUP running under WINE 6.x - there's more to check over whilst not hindering the Windows experience - 2021-11-30 23:33:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Almost 3 weeks on from the last one with life getting in the way at times #WACUP #beta 1.5.7.9410 is now up for beta testers with more done to ensure its stable so I can now work on the blockers for a new preview build.
Things that still need to be done before a new public preview build hap...
2021-11-20 18:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis month has been an odd one as its not felt like it was productive since there were only 3 beta builds (9136, 9166 & last night's 9278) but on a quick review of those 3 changelogs & with an overall drop in the crash reports seen from the builds it has gone better than I thought :)

As a small treat to end &/or start the month off, #WACUP #beta 1.5.5.9278 is now available to the beta testers & along with 1.5.3.9166 it should finally get WACUP to the level of stability I want from it & am sure any user wants to have too😜

In the gradual effort to not need bits of Winamp 5.666 to run it, #WACUP #beta 1.5.2.9136 is the 1st attempt to meet this goal.
There's limitations - no equaliser & modern skin support but it's a start.

It's fair to say this month & also August haven't really gone to plan when it comes to WACUP's development since the plan for July had been to have had a new preview build out which is still a way off due to recurring stability issues with the replacement local media library plug-in (aka mult...

2021-03-24 15:35:49 +0000 UTC View PostAm aware the wacup site is basically down & shows a "No input file specified." response.
Dunno what the hosting provider has decided to do last night as part of their maintenance work nor can I see any site files via ftp (empty dir) so I'm not happy (I do have recent local backups).
