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....

    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
