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.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
