I've always used winamp as my main audio player, and just yesterday I tried foobar. Is nice, but it doesn't fully support *.m4a playback support like winamp. I'm giving songbird a chance now.....

According to the foobar wiki:

Playback of MP1, MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, MP4/M4A, Musepack, WMA, Speex, WAV, AU, SND, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg FLAC, and WavPack.

What exactly doesn't it support? :)

(Message repeated here from deviantArt):

This is my desktop, a desktop without Explorer. My choice of shell is Progman with Winfile. The other running programmes that you see are:

TrayModule - http://am-productions.biz/getprod.php?pcode=TrayModule

Traybar - http://www.nimation.nl/traybar/

3RVX - http://matt.malensek.net/software

RKLauncher - http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/

Wallpaper is 'Driftwood' and can be found at:

There's a small bug (or should I even call it a bug?) with Traybar whose default action is set to 'Mouse Over', which made me have to set Explorer as my shell in order to change the setting from 'Mouse Over' to 'Right click', since the 'Mouse Over' doesn't seem to work with TrayModule (could be a bug with TrayModule), and then I changed the shell back to Progman. I was nearly spooked to see the Explorer shell loading up and running with it's taskbar (with the taskbar being the most spookiest part), since I'm so used to Progman and Winfile and haven't went back to Explorer in quite a long time. Also, docks were another big issue, such as RocketDock, ObjectDock (I assume ObjectDock Plus as well), and a few others, as programmes I minimized didn't minimize to those docks correctly and/or didn't minimize to those docks at all. The only dock that didn't exhibit this behaviour was RKLauncher, as programmes I minimized would minimize to RKLauncher's dock as they should, and without any problems at all.

If I may ask, does anyone know of a programme that mimics or (permanently) changes the behaviour of how icons minimize to the desktop, much like the way it was in Windows 3.x when programmes would minimize to the desktop as an icon and not a shrunken down titlebar? (An example of a shrunken down titlebar would be the shrunken down titlebar of the Control Panel window inside my Progman window, if anyone has used Windows 3.x would know how the window would minimize into an icon.) I will be very grateful if anyone knows of such programme that changes this behaviour.

Cheers!

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
