Ok people,

 

Tonight I've been working on the Album-splitting-issue. The next build will clean up your collection and define albums by AlbumTitle and AlbumArtist only. That should fix duplicate albums for those who have these 2 tags set correctly.

Albums with multiple discs are then shown as 1 album in the albums list. When selecting that album, the tracks list on the right will show 2 albums with suffix "(Discnumber)"

Yes, if it isn't too much trouble, please support half stars. Sites and software that don't support half ratings drive me crazy. (Looking at you, Goodreads.)

 

I'll try :) Could you just explain to me how you rate songs? I'm genuinely interested, because I have only 3 opinions about songs: like, don't like, neutral.

Do you not sync your music locally? 

 

I have the library on one computer but if i could sign in from a client and then listen to the music i could do it at work or from my laptop or something without having to use the website (which honestly isnt that good)

i'm guessing this would mean a re-indexing of your library?

how is playlist support coming?

No re-indexing needed. Dopamine handles this db upgrade on first startup.

Playlist support: Patience, I'm enjoying some real free time this weekend :)

0 - Hate it

0.5 - Don't like it, but I can see why some people would

1 - Don't like it, but I can recognize that it has some merit

1.5 - Don't really like it, but maybe if I were in the mood for it

2 - Probably would like it, depending on my mood

2.5 - It's neither great nor terrible. It just is.

3 - It's fine. Nothing to write home about.

3.5 - It's pretty alright. Wouldn't mind mixing this into a playlist or two.

4 - This is a pretty great song. Might even listen to it by itself every once in a while.

4.5 - This is a stellar song. It'd definitely listen to it on repeat for a while.

5 - Repeat? Definitely. For days. Do other songs exist? I don't think so.

 

Edit: Rating is important for me because it's what I do when I get a new album. As I buy musical scores on Audio CD, I tend to get a lot of songs I like to various degrees. The flexibility of being able to differentiate between various levels of like is important when racing through thousands of tracks that I may or may not remember when assembling new playlists. Some days, I just need a solid 5-star playlist. Other days, it's okay to have some 4.5s or even 4s in on the mix.

 

Such ratings flexibility could be useful for features like autoplaylists.

 

I would say you need to go through your collection and delete 0 - 2.5! :D

And have hundreds of incomplete albums? No, thank you. I don't just listen to playlists. Sometimes, I need mood music when writing and just listen to a whole album. Sometimes, that means listening to stuff I don't particularly like, but it works. Heck, I'd be missing 3/4 of the Lord of the Rings songs on my computer if I took that route.

Just tried your player, it's fantastic - So keep up the good work.

 

Just some suggestions from me:

- Artists starting with 'The' come under 'T' in the list, ideally they would come under the letter of the next word. Such as 'O' for 'The Offspring'

- An option to get the album art. Although I can understand this being a pain to implement well.

- I would also like to be able to view the meta data of a track, perhaps on hover over or an option on right click.

- When the song is playing in the default window, I'd like to be able to see the file format (MP3, FLAC....etc) and it's encoding information, 16, 24bit, 44khz, 96khz and so on.

I have good news for you. All of this was planned. I will soon set up a page on my blog with planned features and the development progress.

Are they in order of importance? Also, I was wondering if with Open With/playlist support you will also support playlist files like .m3u/.pls?

 

Not yet in order of importance. But eventually it should be. Playlists support includes opening playlist files, even Zune Playlists (.zpl)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
