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!

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

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:rolleyes:

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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:

Edit: changelog:

16-11-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.464 (Preview)

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 :rofl:.

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.

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"

    • 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.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
