Thanks! I'm making little changes to the code almost every day and I think it's really a lot of fun. The next challenge I guess is getting rid of my track info mod panels and exchange them for more WSH panels .. something which is going to require even more coding!

While I like my current theme, I'm still not satisfied so I might start working on something new soon.

That CD Art Display sure looks sweet! I did install CD Art Display some time ago, but decided to uninstall again. The only thing that bothers me is that it's an extra something, another program to run.

I'm boring.

I tend to sacrifice design over functionality, so fancyness or boringness isn't so much an issue for me. The nicest thing about my "fancy" foobar is that I get so much more information about the music I listen to than I do with other programs. The ability to write custom tags and use those in scripting is incredibly useful to say the least. It really makes me wonder why it's more or less not an integral part of every music player.

after bouncing around with players for like 3months... I finally settled with Mediamonkey.....

It gives everything I want with little tuning.... and the big big thing is it handle my 78k in songs with out lagging and works well with my IPOD.

I went with foobar for a while but once I loaded all my music on their it started acting berserk.

I tired Mediamonkey a couple months ago and didn't like it but I think I just didn't give it a enough of a chance. Now I am in love.

So, an update here .. I started on this like an hour ago and just finished. Well, finished for today!

My foobar was getting a bit heavy and I want a liter version which is still not lite but not quite as demanding as the other one I've made. My plan is actually to make a few different ones and have several installs on this external HD I'm gonna buy soon which I'll keep my music on. Anyways, what I've made the last hour (copying and pasting a lot from the old of course) is this ..



The main way I access my library is actually by searching and the search bar is in the top right corner. Just above the playlist area, I have tabs which shows different things, like mixed artists compilations or soundtracks.

At the bottom, you have some fairly simple things. A progress bar on the left, buttons in the middle and a rather large volume slider on the right.

Haven't tested it much so still not sure how I like it yet, but I think it'll be good.

looking great. you've got a knack for foobar!

i've been itching to try elplaylist for a while now, but it seems tough to script. i really like the idea of collapsible albums. just not sure if my column scripts will copy over...

Thanks! I think the way to go with ELPlaylist is just to get one already scripted and see if you can tweak that. That's basically what I did and although it is indeed a bit tricky, I am able to rewrite it to make it do what I want.
