Awesome.  Hey, I think the file renaming issue was happening in 1.5.14 as well...I think.

That's definitely possible. That cr*p piece of code has been in there like almost forever :) 

I'm currently rewriting how deletion of entries of a playlist file occurs. It'll work correctly in Preview 5.

These are the issues that are already fixed for preview 5:

 

 

- [Fixed] Fixed incorrect sorting for Artists and Genres because prefix "The" wasn't ignored anymore since preview 2

- [Fixed] Fixed invisible text on some context menus

Dopamine 2.0 Preview 5 is available!

 

Here’s the change log:

 

– [Changed] Updated the German translation
– [Changed] Updated the Swedish translation
– [Changed] Removed song covers in playlists. Loading so many images in memory causes a huge memory footprint.
– [Changed] Created and enabled the light theme
– [Fixed] Fixed incorrect sorting for Artists and Genres because the prefix “The” wasn’t ignored anymore since preview 2
– [Fixed] Fixed invisible text on some context menus
– [Fixed] Fixed an issue deleting entries from playlists, after files have been removed from or renamed on disk.
– [Fixed] Fixed playback order being alphabetical when enqueuing from Explorer (This would not have been a problem if humans and computers used the same sort order. One hour of my life I’ll never get back)
– [Fixed] Fixed inconsistent UI when the player reaches the minimum window size

Enjoy!

Hi, Raphaël.

I'm pretty happy about dopamine. I honestly think it's the best music player i've stumbled upon. I wanted to thank you for that first.

 

Now, you see... on page 98 of this thread, you mentioned that you fixed a bug related to MiniLyrics, and I wanted to ask for your help, because I can't make MiniLyrics detect your player.

 

Those two are compatible? If that's the case, can you please teach me or show me how to make it work? Thanks.

Hi,

 

Dopamine doesn't work together with Minilyrics. Dopamine however has a built-in lyrics downloader and displays the lyrics in the now playing screen.

Dopamine 2.0 Preview 6 has just been released! This preview fixes some annoying issues.


Here’s the change log:

 

– [Fixed] Fixed a crash which occurs when the “Folders” screen tries to access an inexisting directory
– [Fixed] Top border is missing when 1px border is enabled
– [Fixed] Fixed more potential memory leaks
– [Fixed] Artists and Genres selectors are cut off when the left pane is too narrow
– [Fixed] Added an extra button to access Now Playing
– [Fixed] Fixed a bug where it wasn’t possible to change the album cover for albums where the album title contains accents

 

As usual, you can download it here.

Oh. Okay, thanks.

 

I just wanted to know if it did. Now that I know for sure that it doesn't, I'll  start attaching the .lrc files to the .mp3's "Unsynced Lyrics" Tag, That way, Dopamine can show a sort of... not-so-perfect karaoke (NOT BECAUSE OF DOPAMINE. Dopamine it's the best player for Windows 10; hands down. It's just the way .lrc file's internal scripting/encoding (?) works.)

 

(I have 500 songs. It's gonna take a while. That's why I wanted to know if I didn't have to, but now that you told me this, I know for sure I better start soon.)

 

Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks as always! 😁
Though, I don't see the updated Spanish translation in this build changelog. Did you get my e-mail? 🤔

I want to see the Bulgarian too, is my email received? Also there I mentioned a bug

Hi @Jackaluichi and @kukata,

 

I got both your messages, but I lost track of it. It's an error of my part, sorry for that. Thanks a lot for your efforts keeping these translations up to date. I'm processing them tonight and they'll appear in the next preview.

No worries, mate. Just didn't know if you'd received it or not. Thanks for getting back to us 😉

Now he needs to add Romulan and Klingon to the languages. :D

Great app none the less!

Always appreciate work from a person who created a nice app from nothing.

You know, I'd actually add those if someone would provide them :)

Looks like Project "Dopamine" is terminated. Am I right? Nothing new from December 2018 😢

No it's not. I did take a break from Dopamine for a few weeks though. Life has been rather challenging, and I wanted to spent my remaining time and energy on another project, which is now nearing completion.

I started the planning for the next Dopamine preview a few days ago and will proceed with development in a few days.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
