Hi everyone,

 

Here's another teaser for you. This is an early design of the mini player window. The part containing the headphone will display the cover picture (if available). The design below is not a mock-up, but the real player window. However it doesn't do much yet. I still have to connect the audio engine to the UI. Also, some more elements will be added: especially rating, volume control.

Hi everyone,

 

Here's another sneak peak at development progress. The grey boxes are placeholders for album art and information:

Also notice the blurred player name. There's a name change coming :)

I realised, while making changes after the last musiX build, that this wasn't going to work out. So I started a new project, from scratch, using the knowledge I gathered while coding musiX. I'm pretty proud of the internal structure. While musiX was a mess, this one is more modular and easier to maintain. I'll keep the new name for an official announcement once most of the placeholders are filled in (I need a pretty screenshot for an anouncement :))

Looking forward to use it with Windows 10.

 

You can look into project like - http://beets.radbox.org/

 

To have some good bits and features taken and implemented in your project as well.

 

- I am not saying MusiX is lacking in any way, but making it more better is always WIN WIN.

Looks good, I would suggest a new topic for the "new" version if it is going to be so different internally but please link back in here in-case I miss it :D

 

I planned to do that, especially with the name change and all :) As soon as the UI is near completion I'll create a new topic with some more info and a nice screenshot.

Looking forward to use it with Windows 10.

Thanks for the tip! I'll sure look into that.

Any plans on making a native x64 version?

 

I might. The reason it was 32 bits until now is that the flac audio engine didn't support 64 bits in the very beginning. As I changed the flac engine along the way it might work now. I'll test it.

Reminds me of Zune.

 

Correct. The UI is based on Zune but also other Modern UI elements. I'm a fan of Metro.

But I'm in no way trying to create such a feature rich player. My target audience is like me :): people who want a simple, non-cluttered player that just organizes and plays their music and which looks as least a little bit OK (for Metro-lovers anyway).

I wouldn't be posting here if I didn't have the app, now would I!

 

If it played M4A files, then I wouldn't get the following error:

Here's the file in Windows Explorer:

So, if it played M4A files, then the above error wouldn't be happening!

    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
