Dopamine

[allannyholm]

The option of "align playlist vertically" in Cover mode completely exits Dopamine and the program does not relaunch on its own. A log file can be had here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkw2pmh464gt4d7/Dopamine.log?dl=1

Also, as a side note; will it be possible in the future to have Dopamine remember last played song and position as well as having Dopamine remember the Album or Artist view I was in last on new launch? Right now I can't make Dopamine remember anything. For instance I always look at my music as Album rather than Artist.

Nice find! It happens when the playlist is not opened yet. I'll fix it.

Remembering things is planned.

Transparency sliders in the options so we can control how much transparency is applied to the parts of dopamine that have it?

 

Good idea!

Transparency for the Nano player? If you add transparency options we can control if they are transparent or not to suit the speed of our computers =)

Hi everyone, small updates to the UI. Can you see the changes?

Raph were you ever able to get 5.1 sound output working in Dopamine or is it still limited to just 2 stereo speakers?

Any idea on how to do this if it isn't already implemented?

[Ravensky]

tear shapes everywhere... I like the new search bar...and count tags...nice!

 

5:1 works fine from Dopamine I think...

Nice changes!
I have a question: it is possible to change the size of covers in album view or artists view grid? I would like to have bigger covers in the grid.

Thanks! Changing sizes is not possible right now, but I've created a task to add that feature in the future.

Alright! Thank you

Personally, not to much fan of the UI changes. I think they disrupt a little bit with the Modern "metro" feeling that Dopamine was carrying on from Zune. Anyhow, waiting eagerly for the next BIG update!

No problem, that's ok I'm trying to give it a fresh look, combining metro with other things. Yeah it's been a long time since the last build. It's starting to get annoy me too. Tagging requires more internal changes than I anticipated. That slows down any other updates.

Great work my friend,  your app is the true replacement from windows media player unlike groove music, which in my opinion is a downgrade, do you have dedicated website in mind for such great app?

[Tidosho]

This would look really nice running on the new Xbox One NXE Hint hint, port it to the Xbox App Store

[BinaryData]

I haven't read your full change log yet, but have you addressed themes at all?

Downloading it on my new laptop since Foobar2000 wigs out on my audio card. My In/Out port is the same. I can tell it which it is, and Foobar doesn't like that.

Thanks! For now I have only my blog at http://raphaelgodart.tumblr.com. But I'm working on something bigger for the near future.

An UWP app is in the making. Not sure if it would then automatically work on the xbox store. I'll have to check this out.

No theming. Only changing of colors is supported right now.

Hi everyone!

I have a little something for you: build 464, pre-preview So, not a public preview, but something workable for you to play with.
It has tagging functionality, however rather basic for now. It is not possible to change the cover pictures yet. Why is it not a public preview?

1. updating of cover picture is not possible yet
2. tagging still needs testing and tweaking

I've tested it somewhat, but it will probably contain some bugs. Saving tags to file should work fine, but updating the UI might have rough edges. In case that would happen, closing and reopening Dopamine will make the indexer work and fix any issues. Let me know it you see something unacceptable.

Here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xtihhv85o26qwnw/AABtfqFOkbFYIyBV6mmnbOEYa?dl=0

Edit: changelog:

16-11-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.464 (Preview)

- Added an option to minimize to the notification area when the close button is pressed
- Added cancel of semantic zoom by clicking anywhere else in the UI
- When already started, trying to start Dopmamine a second time, shows the running Dopamine.
- Added support for files with extension AAC
- Added Turkish translation
- UI tweaks here and there
- Fixed a crash when aligning playlist vertically
- Tweaked the search
- Added tagging

Actually I think Groove is great, it's exactly what I need, light and minimal. So I really wouldn't call it a downgrade. I like Dopamine more, but if Dopamine wouldn't exist, I would definitely use Groove for my music.

Yeah Groove is really nice, especially the Onedrive integration between my Surface Pro 3, my Xbox One and my Lumia 930, but still lacks some really good functions we have in Dopamine! I use both and love them.

Thanks a lot for the new preview! Installing it right now, I will test it hard and report if I see some nasty bugs .

2 little bugs here. I also see that the information window lacks of "bitrate" and i would have put "Artists" and "Genres" in the singular, same for the editor window.
In the mini player mode, we can't right click a track to edit it.

Thanks for the bug reports! I'll fix that asap.

Artists and genres are plural, because these tags can contain several artists and genres.

I've not been keeping up to date with this thread much so no idea when this functionality changed or if there is a way to switch it back to it's old way of working but I'm hitting an annoying issue with the minimise to tray. Basically if I want to open the app, previously clicking the app would open it instantly but now there is a text link to click, it wouldn't be a massive issue (more clicks but I can deal with that) however it constantly ends up hidden behind the tray which means I then have to wait for the tray to disappear before I can click it.

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

Dopamine: 1.0.0 build 450

[Ravensky]

go to Settings, System Display, notifications, apps, power and select Notifications and actions, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar, find Dopamine in the list and click it on, problem solved!

You can drag and drop any icon from the tray flyout menu directly into the taskbar to make the icon always visible.

What the guys above said, is the best solution. Otherwise, right-click the icon and choose "Show Dopamine"
