Suggestions for 3.6

I would like to see a better CD Audio integration within XMPlay. I.E. having an option like "Open CD". It would be much practical than to have to open it as a folder, or add the tracks manually.

Thank you in advance.  :)

If I recall correctly, you can drag files out of XMPlay to copy them (left+right mouse button).

What about a sleep mode? One that will play your music until a certain time and then put your computer to sleep?

Why would that be XMPlay's job to do? If Windows can't do it, there are already many such timer applications available.

Why should it not be XMPlay's job? I wouldn't consider a small feature like that bloat or anything, so why not? :)

Putting Windows into suspend mode is actually a feature which I consider not part of XMPlay tasks, so no.

It is actually a very good idea. Several players have this feature, including AIMP2. If it's not going to bloat the application, I too see no harm in adding it to enhance the already great XMPlay.

There are plugins doing much scarier more complicated things than shutting down your machine. A DSP/general plugin with a shortcut (on/off), a countdown timer window and a configuration window (standby/hibernate/shutdown, at/after specific time, fadeout) would be enough. Do note that you can easily do this with TOff already.

Outdated. Go to Suggestions for 3.7.

I was not aware of that hidden feature!
Thank you Dotpitch!

Is it possible to know?

    • Shortcuts for library sorting

I have just seen there are shortcuts for sorting the playlist according to tag information (artist,album,genre etc') . Can these be made to work also in the library?

Depending on the codec used, there simply is no fixed bit resolution to be reported.

  • Imitate Winamp window to enable external controls

With this option will it be possible to use Winamp's "general" plugins such as AMIP (gen_irc.dll)?

They have just never bothered to display that info :)

Someone (perhaps you?) made the same request a while ago, and "Resolution" info was then added to the "General" info window display for the next releases of the lossless format plugins (FLAC/WV/etc).

SmartOne

Sorry.  I couldn't remember and couldn't find an response.

Ian @ un4seen

Here's an update that implements a few more of the smaller requests...

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/xmplay.exe

The new stuff is a "Use source resolution" file writing option (to write files with the same sample resolution as the source file), the playlist track number column is now optional, and the EQ range has been extended to +/-12 dB. Please report any problems with that stuff, or any other stuff.

At this point, I think this may well be the final 3.6 version, except for any brilliant last minute ideas :)

Gapless playback on Next/manual change?  One of my devices using WASAPI always crackles with manual changes.  Gapless changes would solve this.  The driver is up-to-date.

Chinese Sausage

Thank you for the new implementations :)

Ian, can you add a syntax for rating criteria in the "find window"/"find quick"?

Thanks  ;)

Ian @ un4seen

It's getting a bit late, but if you can suggest a good syntax for that, then perhaps something can be arranged :)
