I released a small update (v1.1.1) of Dopamine, which fixes an issue in 1.1.

Somehow, the flag, to run as a true 64 bit application on 64 bit systems, got disabled in the 1.1 release. I fixed that in version 1.1.1.

 

- [Changed] Updated the Portuguese translation

- [Fixed] Dopamine is not running as a 64 bit application on 64 bit systems

so...does the 64 bit version install under program files (x86) no matter what I set it to?

Apparently (I wasn't fully aware of that), it always installs in "Program Files (x86)" whether or not you choose "Program Files (x86)" or "Program Files" because the MSI installer is a 32 bit installer. Windows Installer doesn't allow a 32 bit installer to write files in "Program Files". The only solution would be that I create 2 installers: 1 for 32 bit systems and 1 for 64 bit systems. That generates a considerable amount of extra work, so it's not for now. See this issue for more details: https://github.com/digimezzo/Dopamine/issues/155

 

For other directories: if you configure a directory which is none of the "Program Files" directories, it does install it there.

 

The first preview build of Dopamine 1.2 is available.

This is the change log:

 

– [Changed] “Columns…” button on Songs screen was moved to right-click menu
– [Changed] Playback controls pane is narrower
– [Changed] Updated the Chinese Traditional translation
– [Changed] Updated the Chinese Simplified translation
– [Changed] Updated the Spanish translation
– [Changed] Comment field is now multiline

– [Fixed] Chinese metadata is garbled

I want to ask l,  if Dopamine already can read Replaygain tags?

Overall player is just great!

Not yet. No ETA when this will be available yet. I've created issue 160 for this.

Please allow pane customization. So I can make a personal layout like MusicBee

I'm not sure that will ever happen. Dopamine was created just because it's players like MusicBee that didn't suit me.

A new build of Dopamine is available: 1.2 build 728 (Preview)

 

This one adds Last.fm scrobbling.

 

This is the change log:

What is LastFM Scrobbling?

Scrobbling sends the songs you're listening to to http://www.last.fm/

Based on what you listen to, last.fm builds up a statistics database, and can offer you suggestions (like similar artists,...), or show what is most listen to and other stuff I don't know much about, as it is very new to me. It seems popular among music lovers, as this feature has been massively requested.

To be able to scrobble, you'll need a last.fm account, that you have to provide in the Dopamine settings. Then you'll need to sign in, from within Dopamine. As of then, as soon as you start playing songs, they'll be scrobbled according to the last.fm rules (after playing half a song for example).

 

In the near future, I'd like to use last.fm as a source for album covers and artist info. Their API seems to provide a rather easy way of getting that info. Getting info doesn't require a last.fm account, it's only the scrobbling part (sending data) that requires an account.

It seems that Dopamine has created a hidden folder on my Google drive.  Is there a way this can be removed?

 

I have moved on to Linux and there is no visible way to delete it using my account.

 

I can view the hidden files by attaching my Xunbuntu account to my Google account and then mount the drive, and then view the hidden files/folders.

I'm not sure I understand. What kind of folder? Which actions did you perform to have Dopamine create a folder on google drive?

 

I've programmed Dopamine to only makes these 2 folders:

 

c:\Program Files (x86)\Dopamine

%appdata%\Dopamine

Hey Raphaël,

 

It is possible to contribute to the FR translation, directly in Github ?

How can i do it ?

 

Off Topic : A nice thing has been added to the new Windows Insider Preview release, USB 2.0 audio driver :). I have to test it over the weekend.

Yes, that should be possible. You can edit the FR.xml in your fork of Dopamine and then send me a pull request so I can pull you changes in my branch.

I do not know.  I just know that it is there.  Never linked Google drive to my Windows system.  Not sure how it got there honestly.  Maybe after all it is not your app.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.
