How to install : Copy "in_wv.dll" file to "C:\program files\winamp\plugins"
All versions of WavPack file are supported (back to 1.00) and both lossless and lossy modes are playable (and seekable). Files encoded in "raw" mode prior to version 4.0 will not play.
Support for playing 24-bit files and floating point files is provided, however the support for this in winamp is spotty and, of course, many soundcards do not support this data. Make sure you have the latest version of winamp and your soundcard's drivers.
This version of the plugin supports reading both ID3v1 and APEv2 tags.
If either of these tags are present on the .wv file, the artist and title will appear in the winamp playlist and additional info will show in the InfoBox.
The plugin can use the .wvc files (if present) to enable lossless playback of hybrid files. However, because this requires more CPU
processing and disk seeking, a configuration setting exists to disable this feature if desired.
ReplayGain is now supported through the APEv2 tags, although the ReplayGain information must be calculated and stored in the tags
by another application (Foobar2000 is a good one). The configuration allows the choice of ReplayGain mode (disabled, track or album mode) and a choice of action in the case where a track (or album) will clip after the ReplayGain is applied. The choices are to simply hard clip the samples, to apply "soft clipping" that rounds the clipped waveforms, and a third option to scale down the track beforehand so that it will not clip. The current gain and whether soft clipping is active is shown in the infobox.
