Perhaps the library "last play" column could still show "now", while the "Track info" window shows the previous value?

Well, I wouldn't mind that solution, although it might seem a bit inconsistent. Not sure.

I'd like more graceful "server full" handling for online streams. Currently, you click the Shoutcast stream, get the server full popup that you have to click, rinse repeat. Kind of like whack-a-mole. Would be nice to forgo the popup and maybe even have a "retry every x seconds until connected" option.

Just my two cents.

I'll make the change to the "Track info" window in the next update. To reduce the slight inconsistency, I may have it display both "now" and the previous time.

It is possible to disable the "Server full" messages (and other internet error messages) by adding a "NoNetErrors=1" line to your XMPLAY.INI file (under "[XMPlay]").

Just a suggestion, but a "sort by filename" that actually sorts by filename. It shouldn't be called sort by filename when it actually doesn't sort by filename, but rather by path, and disregards whatever song is at the end of the path.

Or at least rename the option "sort by filename" and make it "sort by path." And rename the current option of "sort by title" as "sort by filename."

[Dotpitch]

... rename the current option of "sort by title" as "sort by filename."

The title formatting could have a different field order than the filename, so these two are not equivalent in all cases. If it says 'Sort by filename', it should do exactly that, and not use the title formatting at all.

well whatever, I won't be bothering with this program anymore. Plenty of better ones out there.

[piovrauz]

Awww, makes me think what we really need is a dumb-proof guide for every little XMPlay thing...

[saga]

I wonder how many of the "plenty better ones" actually still run on WinME...

[piovrauz]

"better ones" is the key work! why did he bother with xmplay if he had already something better?
win me... he really should get another OS, really...

[WinMEuser]

okay okay okay okay, sorry... I guess it's no big deal. Sheesh.

might not be an xmplay issue, could be wasapi or likely nvidias HD audio drivers

basically my pc playing music via a yamaha sound-bar/hdmi, but if i hit the bars off button or the cat walks on it, xmplay crashes and the nvidia drivers go awol for a bit, then i have to change over to spdif, which just dont have that boom on the lower frequencies my deer old heavy metal requires

i'm gonna do the usual, uninstall n reinstall in safe mode, bios soundcard is off, did a malware sweep, stupid search-dial again popped up

cheers

ps dont forget that lovely glossy black default skin for HD monitors now ;-)

... if i hit the bars off button or the cat walks on it, xmplay crashes and the nvidia drivers go awol for a bit, ...

That's a bug report, not a suggestion. Please put it in the 3.8 reports, queries and bugs-thread.

1) In 3.9 it will nice to see creating playlists, for example like in Foobar2000 and AIMP

Excellent. That's all I'm looking for. Thanks very much.

Regarding the "count as played after x seconds", could this possibly be changed in a way so that it doesn't count while the track is paused? As an example, if I play the first five seconds of a track, then pause it, and then choose to skip to the next track after a while, it counts as played, even if my "count as played" setting is higher than five seconds.
I guess previously this hasn't been an issue, but with the new biased random tune selection, I think the proposed solution would work better (scenario: A tune that hasn't been played in a long time gets marked as played even though I only heard the first five seconds).

[Ian @ un4seen]

Yep, that would be better. I'll have the next update not count a track as played if it's stopped/paused before the "count as played" timeout and not subsequently resumed.

The write to disk: Download should download the non-streamed formats, such as Midis or XM and other modules.

[Ian @ un4seen]

Here's an update that allows the "Download" option to be used on non-streamable files too...

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/xmplay.exe

The option has also been extended to allow extraction from archives, so it's now called "Download / Extract". Note non-streamable files aren't retained in memory after being parsed, so it's best to use the download option when opening the track rather than after it is already opened (the file will be re-downloaded in the latter case).
