Great job with Dopamine. I'm using it in place of iTunes.

But how come Dopamine tends to skip over tracks?

I noticed something. If for instance I have an album of 3 CD's by Vangelis (the 25th anniversary Blade Runner soundtrack) then Dopamine will play all the 1st tracks on each CD before going to the 2nd track. I think I'll have to look through my library real soon in order to get this fixed. It can't be a fault of Dopamine. I don't think it is.

It's Dopamine. I tested it out this morning, and indeed, it doesn't play tracks of multi-disc albums in the right order anymore. It used to work, but I seem to have broken something.

Conclusion: I'm looking into it. Thanks for reporting!

Please Make it so that you can have:

Shuffle and repeat/loop on 

Its quite annoying.

I have asked before.... see Windows Media Player for example.

Thanks!!!!

 

Shuffle is both shuffle and loop. That's not ok?

yes but its confusing....but i think the bigger issue is trying to work out why it stops playing then

Do you know if 

1. it plays when screen saver somes on

2. come back from sleep

3. resumes/plays from locked desktop.

been using it a bit at work..... and its stopping playing a lot!!!!!!!!.

even tho it says its playing its not. it shows its at the end of the track.... but does not go to the next.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Ok I guess I can separate shuffle from loop to avoid confusion. As for the stopping issue:

Does it always happen with the same tracks? (it happened in the past that the audio library didn't detect the end of tracks correctly, but only for a select number of files) 

If yes, could you send me one of the files?

As for you questions:

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Yes

Hi Raphael,

I was going to ask you about what upcoming features were planned, and I remembered you had a list on tumblr. But the progress of all are 0% even though some were already implemented. Is there another location you make this info available, or just no time to update? :)

I see lyrics isn't on the list :/

It's more that I'm too lazy to update it :) I'll give it a go tonight. Lyrics is not yet on the list, but I'd like to implement it. First I'll have to do some research.

This is the plan for the very near future (probably in this order):

- File associations (in progress)

- Rating (not started)

- Tagging (not started)

Bug: When you select a bunch of files in Explorer, then Right Click and choose Open, Dopamine tries to play them all at once or something, but each new track interrupts the last, so it only ends up playing the last file in the list.

Hmm that's silly. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Any chance we could get a file info dialogue? Maybe from clicking on the album art?

With this data...

Yes that is planned.

Is the expected outcome the same with other music players?

For instance if you did this with word documents or pictures, I'd personally expect all to try and be opened at the same time?

I don't know for documents or pictures, but for music players (I tried Foobar2000 and Zune) all files get queued and only the first (foobar) or the last (zune) file starts playing.

I'm going to try to do that too. The "fun" part is that Windows tries to start a new instance of an application for each selected file. It isn't sending all files at once to 1 instance of the application. A workaround is needed again :)

      expected when they force you by having to use TPM and secure boot for anti cheat crap, and lazy developers only test on windows 11.

      The fact I need to use "Show more" like 99% of the time is so annoying. Or why I have 7-zip under 3 submenus when it could be in top. And Microslop keeps saying how they'll improve Start and I've not seen ANY improvement yet. In MONTHS. WTF?! I'll believe any of it when they actually deliver anything.

    • LosslessCut 3.69

      By Copernic · Posted

      LosslessCut 3.69 by Razvan Serea LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Features Lossless cutting of most video and audio formats Losslessly cut out parts of video/audio (for cutting away commercials etc.) Losslessly rearrange the order of video/audio segments Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera) Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file) Losslessly extract all tracks from a file (extract video, audio, subtitle, attachments and other tracks from one file into separate files) Batch view for fast multi-file workflow Remux into any compatible output format Take full-resolution snapshots from videos in JPEG/PNG format Manual input of cutpoint times Apply a per-file timecode offset (and auto load timecode from file) Change rotation/orientation metadata in videos View technical data about all streams Timeline zoom and frame/keyframe jumping for accurate cutting around keyframes Saves per project cut segments to project file View FFmpeg last command log so you can modify and re-run recent commands on the command line Undo/redo Give labels to cut segments View segment details, export/import cut segments as CSV Import segments from: MP4/MKV chapters, Text file, YouTube, CSV, CUE, XML (DaVinci, Final Cut Pro) Video thumbnails and audio waveform Edit file metadata and per-stream metadata Edit per-stream disposition Cut with chapter marks Annotate segments with tags View subtitles Example lossless use cases Cut out commercials from a recorded TV show (and re-format from TS to MP4) Remove audio tracks from a file Extract music track from a video and cut it to your needs Add music to a video (or replace existing audio track) Combine audio and video tracks from separate recordings Include an external subtitle into a video Quickly change a H264/H265 MKV video to MOV or MP4 for playback on iPhone Import a list of cut times from other tool as a EDL (edit decision list, CSV) and run these cuts with LosslessCut Export a list of cut times as a CSV EDL and process these in another tool Quickly cut a file by its MP4/MKV chapters Quickly cut a YouTube video by its chapters (or music times from a comment) Change the language of a file's audio/subtitle tracks Attach cover art to videos Change author, title, GPS position, recording time of a video Fix rotation of a video that has the wrong orientation flag set Great for rotating phone videos that come out the wrong way without actually re-encoding the video. Loop a video / audio clip X times quickly without re-encoding LosslessCut 3.69.0 changelog: Add lossless cropping & aspect ratio override via bitstream and container metadata #643 Alow shifting tracks for each file (-itsoffset) #216 Add "decimate video" tool to filter away all non-keyframes #2111 Add Windows ARM 64 native build with native ffmpeg Move timecode out of timeline and make it copy-able #2592 #2691 #2800 #483 #2808 Upgrade Electron to latest Add new "opposing" align mode #2654 Add FFmpeg -hwaccel auto setting for hardware acceleration of certain operations Add API events export-start and export-complete Allow deleting track metadata #2819 Improve shift segments dialog #2839 Show keyboard shortcuts inside button tooltips in UI Warn if trying to cut with too few keyframes around cutpoint #516 #2780 #2756 (Linux) include app name in notification #2794 Pull latest translations Other notable changes: Advanced output directory selector #2101 #2115 #2755 increase max file name length to 250 (truncation) #2779 don't reset playback speed when using special playback modes #2889 preserve chapters when merging files that already have chapters don't merge adjacent segments in combineOverlappingSegments #2896 don't transfer segment name when filling gaps #2754 always scroll up to zoom in #2703 #2786 increase max keyframes to 10000 Don't bind ctrl/cmd+c by default (they interfer with copying text) Many other improvements and fixes Download: LosslessCut 3.69.0 | ARM64 | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Links: LosslessCut Website | Other Operating Systems | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Doesn't even need a UI for point 2 - use some sort of JSON/XML container - because MOST users won't even bother.
