Hi,
I just wanted to switch from WinAmp to XmPlay, because I'm tired of having to use the BASS plugin for mods and because it gets bigger and bigger... Now I have some questions..

• is there a way to enqueue the tune that is currently playing? i tried to press "queue", but after the tune was finished, it did not start again Locking the whole playlist for this purpose is quite pedestrian...
• [solved] is there a way to set a fixed interpolation setting for special module files? I want to listen to old modules with interpolation disabled, but i definitely want interpolation for the rest of the mods. hitting a shortcut everytime a particular module is playing is time-consumimg...
• is it possible to use alt+3 (or any other shortcut) for file info, depending which window has the focus? so if the main window got the focus, alt+3 should display the track info on the current song, but if the playlist has the focus, the info on the marked track in the playlist should be displayed...
• [solved] i have some very long playlist entry texts (like those from DI.fm) - those always extend the playlist window, but i want the playlist to be just as wide the player window. is there a way to lock the playlist width?
• [solved, check this!] Is it possible to include a plugin for systray control icons? i tried the gen_tray.dll from winamp, but it does not work. This tray icon control is very important for me
  

thanx in advance, it's a cool player

I think you can try disabling "Auto-size to fit contents" in Options in "Appearance" section.

Thank you, i didn't know that this also applies to child windows.
Btw, I was using the API call "FindWindow" for a selfmade "Now Playing" script in WinAmp. I got the Window Handle by calling

hwnd = FindWindow("WinAmp 1.x", vbNullString)

note that "1.x" worked for every winamp version. has anyone of you already experimented with this kind of stuff? I already tried "XmPlay" and the current song title as a window title, but the hwnd was always 0 (not found)...
edit: the first parameter defines a "class", the second one is the actual window title. it's a nullstring because it contains the song name, but that changes all the time, so i need to look for the class of course...
or is there any other "no playing" script that's open-source so i can modify it to my taste?

[yagood]

I think class name is "XMPLAY-MAIN", "XMPLAY-INFO", "XMPLAY-PANEL" etc.

Anyway, you could take a look at DSP plugin SDK and see which API functions could be useful to you. Also there's always xmp-scrobbler source

Thanks for the info, I see it's even easier to get the song title than in Winamp, as the winamp title would be "xxx. Song Title - Winamp" and in xmPlay, the window title is just the song name, great great great!
Posted on: 17 Aug '07 - 15:05oh, another (dumb) question came to my mind, and i didn't find an answer yet
(how) is it possible to let a module jump back to the loop point and then fade it out for, let's say, 10 seconds? I definitely don't want to fade modules before the loop point, but i also don't want to loop them forever ^_^

Just set looping to Never and Fade-out to 10.0s.

[saga]

hm, this didn't work which of the loop settings do i have to set?

[raina]

If I understand your description correctly, this should indeed work as I use similar settings myself, only with a 5 second fade-out. The time slider can be found in Options and stuff > Miscellaneous. Once a fade-out time is set, no looping has to be enabled for modules to fade-out after their loop point(s).
