Carlos, since a couple of updates back, I can't open the Options dialog?! Anyone else with this problem? Nothing happens when I doubleclick and pick Options.

Is there a way of not showing movies info in CAD?

CAD RC4 Build 905 (14Sep06)

- Changed the treeview control for a Microsoft one (*)

(*) you may need to copy and register it (e.g. if Control Panel doesn't show up); see Readme.txt for details or wait RC5 Preview with a full setup

The project started in February 2005 with no png support and a simple cover resizing method (without bicubic). Back then, when the first alpha was posted at FileForum the user "darkpepe" said:

"Yet another tool that displays the cover? This is the worst I have seen!"

But thanks to the users who believed the project CAD is a little bit better now and we're reaching the final version finally!

And I think CAD will run on Vista with all features seen on XP!

Thank you all again.

PS: RC5 is almost ready! Then 1.0. :)

Thanks for all your time, Carlos (Y)

Thanks for all your time, Carlos (Y)

Hear hear!! This is one of the greatest "little" apps ever, invaluable! Thanks for listening to the users and being extremely fast with updates, and for all the time you're putting into this!

CD Art Display Build 974 (22Sep06)

- Lyrics (*)

- Small bugs fixed

(*) Thanks to Flavio Gonz?lez V?zquez search engine from LYRDB.com CAD has a simple search lyrics feature:

1) Settings:

"Control Panel>Download" = here you can set the lyrics folder

"Control Panel>Options" = you can set "Lyrics" to the case double click

2) Access:

Right click case/cover or tray and select "Lyrics"

If you let the Lyrics window open CAD will keep searching and saving the lyrics

3) More: you can edit the lyrics (click "Save" once done); if lyrics is not found you then you can click the status label to browse Google for lyrics (then you can copy/paste and click "Save" once done); click "Details" to change what CAD is searching or select another Result.

Not all players have lyrics plugins. This is just an alternative for those like me that'd like to have an easy way to search or even to just read a local lyrics.

Have fun!:):)

Wow, lyrics! Neat! LeosLyrics is the only plugin that actually integrates well with Winamp, but it doesn't work worth darn and hasn't for years.

[Toology]

Lyrics? Sweetness.

Thanks for the update.

[L3thal Veteran]

Wow! Just when I thought Carlos was done with surprises, he pulls off this one from the blue :p

[andy_rose]

just love it, thanx carlos!!!!!!

when is rc5 due??

i want a nice shiny installer :D

[Carlos11]

I hope to release RC5 next week!

By the way, tho the same link, build 974 was updated today (23Sep06):

http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/cadrc4b974.zip

It will avoid round and square brackets.

:)

[Meshuggah]

great update, but most of the music i listen to doesnt seem to have the lyrics on that website.

Is there anyway you could add support for http://www.metrolyrics.com/ ? or is that too hard? Reason i ask, is because practically every band i listen to is on this database.

[Carlos11]

Flavio (from LYRDB.com) provided a way (*) to retrieve the lyrics from its database. He'll also add a "submit" feature later.

(*) a Visual Basic 6 class

As far as I could search MetroLyrics does not have such interface.

[Gavin001]

Excellent work Carlos! I'm luving just going through my playlist and seeing if there is lyrics for the song lol :blush:

Could you maybe still add that option so that when u pause the music you currently have on winAMP still stays in ur MSN Personal message? :)

[Carlos11]
