major bug:  If I have .mp3 files set to open with Dopamine and double click one dopamine opens but does nothing, does not play the file. =/  This used to work.

Confirmed.

When you are on the Now Playing screen I noticed that the background image for the album art is cut off and does not display the whole image.  About the bottom third of the image is cut off and doesn't show.

Could you send me that audio file, or at least the album art? There seems to be a scaling issue. Thanks.

I sent you one of my files via email.  I wasn't able to attach it to a message here because it said I could only upload 2MB.  It seems to do this to all the songs in my collection.  All of my album art is embedded.

Can you take a screenshoot and show to us what's being cutted there? Or maybe you are referring to the background picture in the now playing screen? it's obvious that you can't show the whole square cover art in a rectangular screen, except you want the background picture to be stretched out badly or fitted in the middle which is doesn't make sense at all.

Have a (what I think is a odd) issue. Using v584, it seems to want to play from Z-A instead of A-Z. Example It should play Sublime then Suicidal Tendencies but it doesn't (Winamp does with the same playlist).  Maybe need a option to sort by File Name or something? I do have my tunes listed by [Artist] - [Track Name] if that makes any difference. Other than that, it's a great player, I just can't replace my current one quite yet, but I'm hopeful this one will soon.

Currently there are only these options to order tracks:

 

  • By album: which groups by album and orders by track number
  • By rating: speaks for itself
  • a-z: orders by title from a to z

But I can easily add a z-a option. Would that do it for you?

If you stretch out the window so its not rectangular it will show more of the album as shown in the screenshots here.

Oh that is the issue! I wasn't following, sorry. I thought he had a scaling issue.

Indeed, there is no other way to show the cover picture at the back of the now playing screen. There will always be a piece missing. The only option I have is a combintation of those: center, left, right, bottom. I chose top and center.

Hi everyone. I've have a small announcement to make.

 

As Dopamine gets more and more attention (even outside of Neowin), and as I want to expand my software base in the future, I've decided to register a domain and create a more official website: http://www.digimezzo.com.

Digimezzo will be the new home of Dopamine, starting from the next build. Downloads will be hosted on that site and not on Dropbox anymore.

 

For you that doesn't change much. What will change:

 

  • The update checker will get its info and updates from Digimezzo instead of my blog and Dropbox
  • The links in the about screen will refer to Digimezzo

You're going to have to figure out how to create Dopamine for Android and maybe ios, because of this:

 

 

 

I guess I'll now also have to send electricity through the headphones.

If you read the article, it's a special module that you plug into your phone, etc. and the headphones plug into that.  Both items come from the manufacturer, obviously, you just have to supply the music player.

I read only part of the article (the user experience part before the technical stuff has a bad influence on my attention :)) when I replied and was wrongly assuming it was an independent device. Sorry about that. It makes complete sense now. This is an interesting device. So it seems to connect to a regular audio jack, and could be any audio player. Would indeed be nice to combine it with this Dopamine :D Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
