JukeboxFX to be released tonight

<< < (2/2)

Howard_Casto:
1.) Command line support.

Command line support?  That's just silly.... windoze media player and winamp already support command line support already. Try it. ;)  

2.)Screensaver.

Once again there are plenty of windows screensavers that already do this and are much more suited for a screensaver as they have fullscreen visualizations.  I'm not saying that a screensaver that reads the playlist is a bad idea, this is just a totally different animal.    

3.) Integration....  Yeah we'll both do that.  Personally I'll allow you to point to an exe rather than merging it to the code, that way you can use jukeboxfx, arcade jukebox, ect.  As long as the authors code it to where the resolutions aren't locked down (Hint, Hint)  it'll be easy to support all.  

bigbri:
howie, when are you releasing your jukebox?

Brad:
Howard,

Yeah, but having all those features in ONE program and not scattered about 5 different MP3 players would be nice.  I'd love to see Arcade Jukebox activate as a screen saver, with optional visualizations, with a playlist that it would select randomly from.  It could be run as standalone, act as a screensaver, OR take commands from a frontend.  And have full screen visualizations or just the jukebox look.

Design an MP3 player that can do all that and you'll have the ultimate set.  Otherwise all those features are just scattered across like 5 different players.

Brad

Howard_Casto:
Oh I understand what you mean. But I'm making a jukebox, not a screensaver or a command-line based mp3 player.  Now all of those things you mentioned (with the exception of commandline support fo rthe jukebox)  would be good to put in a front-end, but not the jukebox itself.  Mine will have some sort of rudimentary screen-saving device though, just to prevent burn-in.  


It's on the way... I sent the first beta to oscar last night.  Should see some news of it pretty soon.
