new Winamp ...

I'm seriously pissed off now.
Yesterday I noticed that the vorbis decoder that comes with the most recent version of Winamp doesn't have the display settings previous versions had anymore.
So I can't use the resulting different handling of mp3 and ogg files to my advantage anymore either, sux. ):
Also, when disabling Advanced Title Formatting, it seems mp3s will be shown as Arist - Title, while ogg files are displayed as Title only.
That, also, sux. ):
What's more, if you enable Advanced Title Formatting and then edit the display to this:
%artist% - %title%$if(%album%,' ('$if(%tracknumber%,#$num(%tracknumber%,2)', ',)$abbr(%album%,10)')',)
It won't work properly (feel free to point out any errors in this, since I think it's correct this way ...)

What it should do is this:
If the %album% tag is not present, just display Artist - Title.
If the %album% tag is present, but the %tracknumber% tag is not, it should display as Artist - Title ([abbr]Album).
If both %album% and %tracknumber% tags are present, the display should be Artist - Title (#Tracknumber, [abbr]Album).

It seems that as long as an %album% tag is present everything is displayed properly.
But whenever %album% is not set, Winamp seems to revert to analysing the path structure of the file to guess the album, then uses the parent directory name as %album%.
Which seriously makes me wonder, why, do you think, did I bother with the $if to see if %album% was set or not??!

[edit] Okay, now it's just making stuff up. It stalls and dies with 99% CPU usage when there's an & in the %album% tag??! Seriously, WTF?

Winamp again ...

... well okay, it seems that I can actually shorten the whole string to
%artist% - %title%[' ('[#$num(%tracknumber%,2), ]$abbr(%album%,10)')']
Which is a lot easier on the eye.
But the problems persist:

1. It reverts to path structure for album tags when there's no album tag present
2. It crashes trying to abbreviate album tags that have & in them.

Winamp, solution ...

...
I removed all &s from album tags, and after reading winamp support forums for a bit, found an option to disable tag guessing from file paths.
woot!

[edit] the $abbr function is the problem, not the &s ...

new icon ...

... for when I do computery things ...

wah mist!

Vor paar Tagen hatte ich mir auf die Lippe gebissen.
Heut ist der erste Tag, an dem das nicht mehr sonderlich weh tut.

Und jetzt hab ich mir auf die selbe Stelle wieder gebissen. ):
Sofort wieder angeschwollen, und blutet wieder. Na klasse ...
