V5.1 Contains a lot of improvements. Some major ones:
- New graphics engine speeds up AP and adds kinetic scrolling and smooth transistions.
- Image viewer from booklet and slide show
- High quality resampling for all images (note: needs to clean cache in database directory first to enjoy)
- New skins!: Nostalgica, Jukebox, aPod, Seventy-Nine and Classic skins (www.albumplayer.com/skins.htm).
- Party Mode extended with many settings.
- Many many other improvements. See: http://forum.albumon.com/viewtopic.php?t=1460

What works
Installing
edit:
fixed with latest winetricks (set msxml4 to native, builtin)
What does not
Playing is giving error messages not being able to write to database,
this is because mdac28 cannot be installed.

Install the following way in a terminal, use the wineprefix command for installation in a clean environment
You need to have (the latest) winetricks installed
cd ~/ && wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks && chmod +x winetricks
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ap5x sh winetricks corefonts mdac28 jet40 msxml4 directx9 ie6 wininet dotnet20
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ap5x wine '/path/to/albumplayer_setup5x.exe' (install AlbumPlayer V5.x)
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ap5x wine regedit
Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command"
Edit and change it to C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe -nohome "%1"
(Set native firefox as the default browser)
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ap5x wine "C:\Program Files\AlbumPlayer\AlbumPlayer.exe"
Workaround browser bug 13891
A webpage request from within Albumplayer does open up the wine browser, but not the native Linux browser.
Open regeditor with
"wine regedit" in terminal,
(use the env Wineprefix if applied earlier in the Additional Comments)
Go to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command"
Edit and change it to C:\windows\system32\winebrowser.exe -nohome "%1"
It now launches the native Linux browser.
TIP on Minilyrics
It works, but has some startup problems.
Best way is to start it manual twice, three or four times (shortly after each other) while playing a song
Manual search in Allmusic Guide
Works now with ie6 & wininet installed,
Follow the howto
Workaround database connection errors (bug 20225)
In WINE 1.1.30 (and perhaps later versions) there are database connection errors. (bug 20225)
Run "env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-ap51 wine winecfg"
and go to libraries, add"OLEDB32.DLL" and set it to native,
if you installed mdac28 already you need to reinstall it once again.
