-If the playlist is in focus, starting to type searches the playlist.  It is implemented perfectly in http://www.sheepfriends.com/?page=billy , it's even type as you go, and you see the results right away, but it's a very convienient to find stuff this way

i always dreamed with that...some add for the album - users, that software is soo cool that function

can be that? =D

I would like to be implemented the  support for multichannel.
I have a 5.1 system and some speakers have no sound. when I use Xmplay.
This would be great.

hilfer, tried the directsound output plugin?
As far as I've understood, it should then output to all channels, presuming your soundcard's drivers and whatnot can do it.

Also another fun and easy way to move main/info windows together without them always being enabled, drag with both mouse buttons down!

And last, a suggestion of my own, a way to make URL grabber ignore certain URLs when copied to clipboard. For example, BBCs news are .stm and always end up on my list.

Another, more bug-related note on same subject, sometimes XMP seems to lose its ability to clipboardwatch the URLs. Is fixed when box is unchecked and re-checked. Will investigate reasons why/when it might lose it later on.

[hilfer]

Yes you are right.

With directsound I can hear all channels.

tks.hilfer.

I have a few suggestions that I hope get implemented and arn't too hard...

-Ability to show the time in this form: TIME / TIME REMAINING.  I currently just see the time of a track, for example if I am at the 1:22 mark, but I don't know how long the song is.  It would be nice to see 1:22/4:23 or something, for example.  By the way, thank god I figured out how to get rid of those tenths digits, they were driving me crazy...

As far as i know, the main window does show the total time of the song (and has been case for ages) right below the song title and runing time, in the small potion where you can also see the file format.
You can also see the reamining running time by clicking once on the running time display (clicking once more will take you to frames/pages/orders depending on the file format).

very good suggestions

here is my little list:
1) better jump to file dialog (winamp's one is really good) or better find files way. Actually the problem i see now is having to use the mouse.   
Find as you type in playlist would rock. 
2) editing tags (asked by many ppl) without needing media library. It's not good having to use another app (i.e. MediaMonkey).
3) not so important but possibility to setup/use all soundcard's audio channels would be good.

anyways XMPlay is still the best audio player imho 

[Zarggg]

The problem I see with "find as you type in playlist" is that Ian will have to disable all other shortcut functions in the playlist.

You can edit tags already if you have the proper input plugin for the file. XMPlay already has a built-in media library, so you don't have to use another program anyway.

[samplah!]

thanks, i'll try it...

about find file i'd be happy if all could be done easily with the keyboard (in the existing dialog). so you write the song/artist you want to play/queue, move with cursors around them (if needed when more than one result) and press a key (i.e. Enter) to play and another to queue (i.e. Shift+Enter)...

an funtion that make the player makes an random playlist from the library (number...choose by the user -10, 15, 20, 25, etc.) and added to the playlist

i always dreamed with that function here

Another vote for some sort of rating system.

I'm another media monkey user who'd like to get away from that and use XMPlay more.  I use XMPlay at home to **listen** to tunes and media monkey to **manage** tunes.  In other words, I create playlists, sync my iRiver player, fix tags, etc., on MM.  But MM is way too clunky to use as an everyday player, and it's not as customizable, so I happily play my music with XMPlay.  I don't want XMPlay to get too bloated, so I'm willing to live with that system. 

So to my mind, any functions that enhance my ability to listen to music--like quickly finding and playing a song, quickly making a random playlist, rating a song as I'm listening to it--is worth adding to XMPlay.  Anything that gets into the territory of music management--like having a massive customizable database, converting tracks from one format to another, syncing with a player, etc.-- should be left to a music management program.

The tough part, of course, is figuring out what belongs in a player and what belongs in a management program.

Scroll track info in taskbar.

Fix : 10's vis in list not work in fullscreen.

I've been getting up to date on XMPlay for a few days, love it. Big thanks to developers.

Since there seems to be healthy amount of suggestion posts, I'd like to bump/enhance the suggestions for a configurable option for "find as you type" within media library. What I think would be useful would be:

Example (Artist):
-Click column header of artist to sort ascending/descending.
-Library now senses that you're looking
-Type W
-XM jumps to first artist starting with W
-Type o o d
-XM Jumps to Wood Bros in my collection (or whomever)
-Once I click/select Woods Bros (artist or several artists) in the window, library only displays Wood Bros albums or albums of artists I've selected.
-If I click on album, then (only then) expand the entry and display the songs in the column.)

*You'd also need a "Clear" button somewhere to reset the library to allow another drill down...or sense for a doublclick on the Media Library window or some other quick method. Obviously closing the Media Library window would reset the drill down.


Humble apologies if this is exactly like anyone else's suggestion, just consider it another bump. I've read for 90 minutes and didn't see anything exactly like this example.

i think... listen more to media monkey, i wanted to use itunes but i'm win 98, soon i will get xp and i don´t want to change again    i want all the cools function in xmplay

[amit]

1. Drag and drop capabilities :  not only drag files into xmplay but drag from library/playlist to other applications windows as well.

2. Add an option for full frequency range visualizations : up to 20khz or 22khz.

Thanks.

Hover mouse on track. Hold left button down. Click with right button. Drag and drop track where ever you want.

Thanks , Jace .

I have a suggestion for a new feature.
In today's ADD-infested climate, oftentimes you find yourself wanting to check something out without disrupting your original playlist.
So...

Ctrl+drag-'n'-drop a track onto XMPlay (or another modifier key combo, if that's desired):

1) Set a bookmark on the current track
2) queue the drag-'n'-dropped track
3) play it
4) delete it from the playlist or move it above the bookmarked track, or maybe it should be positioned there in 2)
5) load the bookmark and resume playing the track in 1)

Pressing "next track" would skip to step 4)
What say you?

A general-purpose scripting system would make this easier of course but yeah.

[traceur_elements]

an 'always on desktop function' would be nice, and (i assume) wouldnt be hard to do either?

[the_watcher]

hi i would like to propose a small change:
the ignore filetypes box in playlist options is quite a good idea but
i think it would be more useful if it was a "add filetypes" box, because
it is easier to say "add mp3 wma ogg aac" (which after all is 5-6 formats) than ignore "m3u avi mpg jpg ++++" any other filetype (waaay more than 5-6) that may be in your music folders
