Uh, can't believe I never noticed before but, is it not possible to sort albums by year? I only see a-z and by date added.

 

Not yet. The question that has been holding this feature off is:

What defines an album's year? Knowing that the year is saved per track. Should I take the year from the track with the most recent year? For regular albums this won't be a problem, because all tracks have the same year. But what for compilations?

Check if it's a real album by querying some online source, and if you can't find it, default to the directory creation date. Or something like that. Unless you already have album metadata of course, in which case you can check that. I suppose it depends on how the compilation is created. If it's done through your program, then you're already in a position to assign it custom metadata.

The way Winamp does it is that if there's different years in the album tracks, it takes the oldest for the ordering and appends the other year(s) after the oldest one in the album view. I think this is a good compromise.

typically I would think that a compilation album would be tagged with the year the compilation was published

Thank you! I never tested on 5.1, but if if doesn't work, it's probably not implemented. I'll add to my task list to check this out.

Edit: quoting is broken sometimes.

I had success with the playlist by inserting c:\ and changing the name in Users. I have no idea why it picked up my name instead of the name Windows gave User (aleks_000).

I would suggest, maybe, something that checks the file path when importing a playlist and gives an error on a track is not found.

Also, I may be missing it, but is there an option to hide the taskbar element while having the player running in nano/micro/cover?

It's correcting the user that most likely fixed it. As I've added support for rooted paths (starting with "\") in the previous build. I'll log a bug that a prompt should be shown when a path is not found. Thanks for the suggestion.

There is no option to hide the taskbar in Mini mode.

Been having crash problems, I've no clue how the log is arranged, so this is everything from today (last hour)

Also, a general suggestion... when in Micro mode, the ability to change the mp3 tags would be handy, since so many mp3s have errors in the tagging.

Some more crash logs from just now

I didn't click anything, it was playing a playlist in the micro mode and crashed in the middle of a track.

OK thanks for the info. Then it's the audio lib that brought it down. I'll see if I can prevent this in the future.

Edit: for tagging in the Mini players: that is coming soon. After the Windows 10 makeover I start working on rating and tagging.

Amendment to that; it works when it loses focus on a normal window, but on a game/media window the generic buttons stops working.

What else do you have open while listening to Dopamine? These other media and game things I'm interested in.

It seems to stop working on SWToR and Rocket League, I'll test other stuff later, but it seems something with a conflict with game media, which is weird, since I was running it all day yesterday without errors.

I just found out I did something silly in my playback service. It might be caused by that. I'll work on that for the next build.

Funny bug this is. If 2 things happen in the same 0.25th of a second, dopamine crashes :) That makes it kind of random.

Is gap-less playback supposed to be working at this point?

Also just noticed that selecting 16 files or more, does not give you the option to Open, in the right click menu. 15 or less is fine.

    • This saddens me greatly
    • Well again I do not mind seeing it charge my stuff if it does it well. "yeah charge my phone like that, charge it good"

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
