I have a confusing problem;

I have CAD set to open itunes when it opens, I always had it set like this, it always worked fine. But I just a tried to start it up now and and it refuses to open itunes with it. Whats with this I havn't changed anything at all... worked fine yesterday.

Thanks for WMP11 support!

I was waiting for this since I got my Zen (Moved from Winamp as main player)

Just an idea, could you make a player selection menu in the right click menu? Would be quicker to change player when you use more than one player.

Or even better, an option to grab any CDarts from all programs so no need to change players, it will simply change to the latest song played from any player.

Btw, to you have any guide to make a skin? Pretty confusing the ini thing :s

That won't happen because it will be a completly new program in another programming language. :rofl:
I don't know about programation, but if you make it hide the main program and make it output it's interface you could grab it in your sidebar gadget... no? I don't know how to explain it, but I know that Samurize do it via it's Server. Don't know me... but I agree that I would like to get my CDart in the sidebar :)

@Nienor

It seems that you use a lot of players! :D

You can see CAD Help or visit CAD forum for how to make a skin:

Anyway, you don't have to look at the ini file since CAD has the Control Panel from where you can adjust the skin settings (excepting for rotation and mirror effect).

Did you set CAD to exit when player is ended?

Its fine now thou :) i deleted everything and reinstalled althou for some reason when i go to 'Select Player' i cant choose

foobar2000

Location:C:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe

i have to choose winAMP for it 2 work

winAMP

Location:C:\Documents and Settings\Gavin\Application Data\foobar2000\winamp.exe

i dont even have winAMP installed :s when i choose the foobar2000 option and apply it doesnt seem to recognize foobar playing and just closes itself after a couple of seconds!

And yes i have set it up to exit when player is ended!

Some foobar2000 mods + plugin can trick CAD. In your case CAD can only see the Winamp "window" created probably by a plugin and not the foobar2000 original window...

If you want you can download the tool below then drag the mark (a bull eye alike in the main interface) over your foobar2000 main window title. After that take a screenshot of the results and send it to my email: [email protected]

Maybe I could make CAD see your foobar2000....

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
