I vote for "split into subsongs" in the playlist (like in DeliPlayer).

as for cd cover art perhaps this would work

Is it possible for the skins menu to open also when right clicking on the "options and stuff" button?

Thanks.

Support for the G15 keyboard would be nice, i.g. getting the name (or perhaps even some tag information like Artist, album etc) of the current song on the LCD screen. And ofcourse to be able to control XMplay through with the LCD buttons.

The thing that would make XMPlay perfect, for me, is a WinAMP 5/iTunes/Amarok-style full blown media library. Perhaps this is possible as a plugin?

Of course Quality sound

For me "WinAMP 5/iTunes/Amarok-style full blown media library" is the most stupid thing which I saw since 15 years in media players.

1) I suggest the ability to read FTP (and http?) subdirectories in case URL like http://ftp://255.0.0.0/ is given.
There are also some ls-R files with FTP contents like this mess:
|-- [        144 Aug  2 16:46]  1200_microgramms
|   |-- [       4096 Dec 30  2005]  1200_Microgramms_-_2004_The_Time_Machine
|   |   |-- [    9484288 Dec 30  2005]  01.1200 Mics-The Creation.mp3
|   |   |-- [   11319296 Dec 30  2005]  02.1200 Mics-Egypt Land of The Pharoahs.mp3
|   |   |-- [   12865536 Dec 30  2005]  03.1200 Mics-Stoned Henge.mp3
|   |   |-- [   10401792 Dec 30  2005]  04.1200 Mics-Shivas India.mp3
|   |   |-- [   12283904 Dec 30  2005]  05.1200 Mics-Rock Into the Future.mp3
|   |   |-- [    9787392 Dec 30  2005]  06.1200 Mics-Glories of Greece.mp3
|   |   |-- [   10539008 Dec 30  2005]  07.1200 Mics-The Mayans Incas and Aztecs.mp3

But I’m not sure whether it is a standard method for ftp contents.

2) Further on, is it possible that “write to disk” command to be given independently without xmplay to start playing an item? For example, I want to create playlist by means of xmplay with all ftp contents and then save to disk some selected mp3s. I think this feature wouldn’t much interfere xmplay stream handling.

When switching between or opening different info window modes sometimes part of the window remains outside the screen display. Is it possible in these instances the right edge of the info window would snap to the right edge of the screen (or any other way to make them open fully inside the screen)?


(info window = info or extended playlist/library window)


Thanks.

* Library made dynamic, keyed to user-designated folders

* Option to select ASIO output, with resampling (preferably via a native plugin)

These 2 are top of my list of stuff to add (output plugins rather than specifically "ASIO").

Allow custom dynamic playlists tabs that populates the playlist with all files in one or more folder structures on startup or when some update button is clicked.

I would very much like to be able to add tracks to playlist by dropping files/shortcuts into a folder XMPlay is monitoring, optionally shuffling them automatically upon adding. This way the whole workgroup can participate in building a playlist of music on a network drive for example. The shuffling could be made among all tracks after the currently playing track, just the newly added tracks or a mixture of these where the shuffling selection would cover the new files and overlap for example the last 5 to 10 tracks.

And ++ on the library mass tagging, if I didn't say it already.

[El_Guapo]

I would like to see a slightly improved tag editing.
I'm not sure why, but I have problems making my mp3-tag changes permanent.
That "override" radiobutton is pretty confusing to me. Why is it there?
If I change something, close xmplay and open the file again. The changes are reset.
I now have winamp installed for the sole purpose of tag editing.

[Cris]

XMPlay doesn't (yet) have native tag editing capabilities. To edit a mp3 tag, you need to download a plug-in from support.xmplay.com.
The only thing XMPlay does is to override the tags of a file. That means that those tags that you edit/create in a file are only shown in XMPlay. They are not actually saved in the file.
The reason why the tags get reset when you close XMPlay is that the tags are saved in XMPlay's Library, so if the file you edited is not in the library, tags won't be saved after closing XMPlay. You can set XMPlay to add the files automatically in the library from "Options and stuff" window (Playlist->Auto add to library->on play). That way, tags will be saved after XMPlay is closed, but they won't be available in other programs, because they are not saved in the file (only in the library).

You can download tag editing plug-ins from:
http://support.xmplay.com/file.php?cat_id=9

For mp3's, the plug-in is here:

Automatic trimming and skipping of long silence. The way it works in the end of module files is nice since often times there can be hordes of pattern delay commands in there and such. I would like to see this extended to cover all file types, especially CD's that have bonus tracks cleverly hidden in, say the 12 minute mark of the last listed track. This would prevent annoying long pauses in shuffled playlists.

This next idea came from my girlfriend: she wishes there was an option to automatically remove or mark skipped tracks that have been played so they wouldn't get replayed when you accidentally shuffle everything when you only meant to do that to the tracks after the current one.

...And this makes me think of the addition of an undo function for the playlist.

[Maserati]

here is another thing ive been thinking about, could we have an option to 'loop' a track by right clicking on it on the playlist?  It seems more intuitive than having to click on a button elsewhere to do it, it would also be less confusing than the two different repeat buttons that are widely used (tick_loop.bmp and button_loop.bmp).  Also if implmented could we have a "mark_loop.bmp" that would appear as the "mark_queue.bmp" does? Its a simple request I think but its very appealing

[Rah'Dick]

@Maserati: Believe it or not, there are people who use the right mouse button for context menus. A workaround for this problem would be to be able to queue the currently playing song. I found myself in that situation recently: a song was playing and I liked it to play once more, but I didn't want to enable looping and then disable looping again.

[Edit] I see, my user title has been changed. Thanks, Ian!

[Maserati]

I am not sure I understood your first sentance exactly so to clarify what I meant was to add another context menu entry or option to loop the selected track

[Tsorovan]

I support this. I've often found myself wanting to play a certain track n times, or just loop it indefinitely (without messing up the rest of the playlist, or have to disable "remove duplicates" and re-add the song a bunch of times) for, among other things, simple transcribing purposes.

[Jace]

Sort of a 'bug'fix request, but something I really REALLY would want to have again in an upcoming version..

When a song (or multiple songs) have been added to playlist (by doubleclick or clipboard-grabber), only the added f
ile/s used to be selected and was playable with a quick "stop-stop-play" globalshortcutcombo.
But now, if tracks were selected before adding, their selection will always remain, so the first old selection will be played instead of the new track. =\
As another example for what I might like to do is add track, xmp grabs focus, press 'q' (queue) and get the song playing next.. With current behaviour it'd queue all of the other selections too.

I know of the existance of the 'Play listed tracks' -checkbox. The thing is, 90% of the time when I add new songs to the list, I don't want them to play immediately.
Can't remember what version this started to happen at, but it was fairly recent, possibly within the last few stuff-releases.
ps. If you have no idea what I am after, please ask.. I'm really not good at delivering my point across today. x)

Right, personal stupidity is a sin. Some other prog had screwed up integration. Solved. =P

[xaaran]

To Tsorovan and Maserati as to "play a certain track n times":

When needed I usually do it with "find" feature - call extended playlist (with global hotkey), ctrl+f, and enter keys for desired song.
