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!

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
