Any iTunes support? :)

It'd be good if this would rival "Now Playing" - the plugin for iTunes :p

Thank you very much....I got it ......butttttttttttttttttttttttt......now what? All I have is a CD case and I can't figure out how to configure it. Everything looks right under preferences what am doing wrong? and again I really appreciate your help

[Carlos11]

Start your player then CAD then play some music.

Right click case/cover area or tray icon and go to "Control Panel" for settings. See Help for details.

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.

[acies]

Sorry for the double post, I figured out my problem, it appeared someone else had not logged out, nothing was running, but it seemed to stop cad from opening itunes.

I have my CAD set up so it starts foobar aswell! but when i click to open it, foobar opens but CAD seems to not notice it and automatically shuts down itself :s

[SMOKINDAVE]

Thank you very much I love this thing............

Did you set CAD to exit when player is ended?

[NienorGT]

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 :)

[Carlos11]

@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).

[NienorGT]

My main player is WMP11, but I use a lot Winamp (IE: for using with my G15 LCD) and actually I'm working on a Foobar Config...

[Gavin001]

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!

[morca007]

Just wanted to say, I've been using a hybrid RC6/5 config with my fb2k for a few months, and I love it!

Keep up the good work.

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....
