Bad community! This was on the bottom of Page 2!  One thing I thought of... Would it be possible to include a randomizer for skins at startup (optional .INI/Registry entry, set to true or false)? -- This could really possibly be a 3.x feature; I'd love to see 3.x use an .INI config instead of a Registry config. Exceptions, of course, include file associations.  Also, could Ian or someone else with the ability make a standalone .SVP for the built-in Spectrum and 3-D Spectrum? I like the way those look, and would love to include those in my Rappa list.  |

Hehe, perhaps people are too content with the current XMPlay? I wouldn't worry about the numbering - that skin randomizer could as well be a 2.8 feature if you ask me. Besides, I'd be surprised if there was to be as big a change in XMPlay on 3.0, as there was on 2.0 |

I suppose. It's just that I hold personally that whole-number versions should be a major change/improvement over the prior.

Actually, something that I really wanted is support for the creative controller, so add additional support to the hotkeys.
Instead of just using the keyboard to control, you may have other options like a remote controller or just for the hell of it, a joystick controller hotkey etc..

velusip: It's all very well making XMPlay uncrashable, but what if Windows self-destructs? Let that be up to windows, what I mean is that XMPlay should not crash itself, and as my experience has it, XMPlay /has never crashed/... but plugins have, taking XMPlay with it... Perhaps the plugins could spawn completely seperate processes and stream audio data back to XMPlay? I just think that mean old plugins should not have a say in the general run of things. |

velusip: I agree, but it might not be so easy to prevent XMPlay crashing along with a sucky plugin. I'm not a programmer, so this is just an assumption, tho  . Now that a separate 'preferences' dialog is under way, it's easier to add new settings . So here's one minor suggestion: to be able to set the thread priority via the player. |

Here's another, very tiny, suggestion: when starting the player for the first time, make the info window be open by default, preferrably with the extended playlist panel on. People don't immediately fix their eys on the info window button, and then they wonder why the playlist window is so small..

I thought it'd be appropriate to put these here too, for clarity: - DSP-plugin support. This is not exactly a whole new suggestion - I remember it being mentioned earlier. But anyway, would it be very hard to implement? I've gotten the idea, that there are some very nice stuff available via these. - Surround sound, for those with lots of speakers. Again I've no idea how hard it would be to add something like this, but since there are many good players around and the competition is tough, this could be one excellent way to stand out . Winamp has support for 4.1, so better make it at least 5.1 . |

With the BASS system involved this should /definitely/ be implemented... 7.1 damnit! *It's about tyme I tried out that new Vivid/Energy H.E.S. of mine ;þ And with H.E.S.'s involved, an internal DC offset filter is a /MUST/. |

This is not exactly a whole new suggestion - I remember it being mentioned earlier. But anyway, would it be very hard to implement? I've gotten the idea, that there are some very nice stuff available via these. I mentioned previously that if there are people wanting to create DSP plugins for XMPlay, then I'd be willing to add a DSP plugin system... not much point otherwise Maybe something for 3.0 - Surround sound, for those with lots of speakers. Again I've no idea how hard it would be to add something like this, but since there are many good players around and the competition is tough, this could be one excellent way to stand out . Winamp has support for 4.1, so better make it at least 5.1 . 4/5/7.1 support is planned... not necessarily for generating some surround sound effect, but more for file formats that have multi-channel capability - ie. WAV, OGG, WMA, and any Winamp plugins that may be capable of it. |

XMPlay uses Windows' proxy settings... if you've not already done so, try setting the proxy in Control Panel->Internet Properties->Connections.

Another small suggestion: sort list by directory structure.

I think "Sort by Filename" does that already. That was fixed in 2.7, IIRC. Also, I'd like to bring this back to discussion: Also, could Ian or someone else with the ability make a standalone .SVP for the built-in Spectrum and 3-D Spectrum? I like the way those look, and would love to include those in my Rappa list. |

Oh! So it seems :idea:. But then there isn't a 'sort by filename' without the dir structure  . |

Perhaps a very tiny suggestion could still make it to the 2.8? When starting to play a random song, the view would move to where the song is in the list. This would be especially useful in bigger lists.
[edit]Oh, I just came up with another little suggestion: In the playlist right-click menu, a new item, "clear queue".
