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....

    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
