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.

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.

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.

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
