I'm planing to add support for foobar2000 (and remove winamp5 support) in my lszygote theme.
Then, what is your audio player ?

I use foobar2k.

But in your theme, you could use dynamp, it supports both foobar and winamp.

JetAudio here, but there's no module to control it. :(

yup. Jetaudio here too. but winamp comes second. dont like foobar anyway...

winamp 2 here...grdAmp comes in a close second though.

QCD forever!

foobar2000

foobar2000 with foo_ui_columns (for functionality) and foo_text (for exporting themevars to foobar.rc to be read by litestep).

Just installed Omar's install of LS. I'm liking LS, so far. I think it will only get better.

So the docs say that the controls will work for foobar2k, but they don't for me. I know the playback info won't, but I assumed that the buttons would. Do I have to do anything for them to work on foobar?

TIA

You might have to tell it what player to use (check the dynamp docs). Personally, I couldn't get it working w/ 0.8.

I had looked at the dynamp docs before and found some good info about config settings. But I don't know where to use that info. One of them defines the path to foobar (DynAmpPath), which sounds like I need to use it.

But then another is a mystery to me...

DynAmpOnFooBar !bang
Bang to be run when a control is loaded for FooBar2k

Surely there must be a .rc file somewhere where I need to put this stuff. Or maybe in austerity it already is there. I don't know.

But when I click play on the austerity taskbar, it does switch the focus to foobar, but that's all. It doesn't actually make it play (or stop, or next, or pause, etc.)

where is the command line where u put in your music folder to play though the shell?? i read it before but i cant remember =/

ok, back to the ORIGINAL TOPIC, winamp5.

i'll let you guess..

winamp 2.81 because I don't need gas factory on my 2.4@home and foobar2000 because I REALLY don't need a gas factory on my 800@work

Winamp 5.2
death to windows media player

Foorbar2k, and whatever caused 0.8 not to work before (but it seems nobody else had this problem, so some config wierdness apparently), it works fine w/ Dynamp 0.51.

@Cerbie: hum... in fact, I've just tried dynamp-0.51 yesterday (I'm not playing on lszygote anymore) and it doesn't work. I don't want to check why it doesn't because I have a very minimal and personal foobar2k, but using command line like this works well:

foobar2000.exe /play
foobar2000.exe /next
...

foobar2000.exe /?

But it doesn't deals with something like !MovePosition[i] &lt time &gt |/i] :(

...and it seems to be a delay (750ms) :(

Smurth: yea, I find that too. foobar2000<->litestep integration isn't as tight as with winamp.

Progress seeking is difficult to do with a broken/unsupported !MovePosition bang. I have a funky scripted bang to call an approximate amount of seeks to jump in a song for winamp, and an exact amount of seeks for foobar, but it is of course slow for winamp, and especially slow for fb2k :) Here, calling foobar2000.exe with the command line switches brings up the busy mouse cursor, which I expect, but find ironic and dumb for our purposes :D

You might find the following useful for now:

In foobar2000.exe /help you see a /command: switch. This lets you execute any command that may be bound to a menu. I think the /playlist_command: switch is similar.

Go to
Foobar2000->Preferences->Core->Main menu items.
Right click on any group and Insert item->Command...

Now any of those listed can be used with the /command: switch.

It has to be quoted though, for example:

audiotoggle '"$FoobarPath$" /command:"Foobar2000/Activate or hide"'

Then you can call $audiotoggle$.

iTunes 4.5. Mostly because I'm at school, and it has that neat-o music sharing feature over networks... I'm on a laptop with a meagre 30 gb of space, so not having to take up all of my hard drive space for my music is nice.
