What another MP3 player?

Another MP3 Player(So what?)
Everyone wants to code one and everyone ask (How do I?,Is this Possible?)

So I decided to put together a MP3 Player with options like,
Continuous Play,continuous Play with loop to first MP3 in folder,
randomize Play,User defined startup folder,Associate mp3's,easy
tag editer Music cd player,and more....

I've tested,tested,and tested some more...
Now I need beta testers for feed back....

Mp3 player uses windows media player because most people
all ready have it,(but loads so dang slow LOL).

If you'd like to check it out download from here:
ftp://maxx.tunzz.com

FTP site is up from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm (CST) 7 days a week..



If you find bugs please let me know...
If you want the code E-mail me.

Just a "sales" point of view :D: why would I want to use your player over Winamp?

My MP3 Player Loads in 2.2 seconds......
windows mediaplayer loads in about 10 to 15 sec.
Winamp loads in ? sec.
winamp cost $

The point is this.You learn from doing things as you read , try, or you cut and paste(lol)....

I want to be sure that it works correctly before posting source....

ps I have nothing against Win amp ,Windows media player..
I just wanted something to play My 1200 + mp3's with, without
having to make play list or sorting....Now I can play all,any or what ever ,with out all the trouble of play list......

Winamp is free and loads in one second, and is skinnable and supports M3U playlists (with recursive additions) and plugins.

:D But to stop harassing you...I tried it, and when it started up it gave me two path errors. But it did load.

My major gripe is the interface. Unless you are adding skins to a program, it should IMHO go with the standard Windows colors and fonts. If you don't, some users might not be able to interpret the interface as well.

The reason for the path errors is because you had no MY documents\My music folder.

That's why I added the info to check the settings for path
I knew,,,(What can go wrong will go wrong)lol...

Everyone I talked to already had that folder....Sorry(lol)
I'll change that! or maybe Create it with the setup.......

As far the colors ,I wasn't planning on handing out a compiled
program........

Thanks for your input......

No problem. Is this the first program that you will distribute?

Well no I have a address book that I have Using DAO
That has some nice things like auto email,ftp loggin, and web site
loggin that keeps track of users,passwords and such.....

I just wanted to make a proggy that can be used more for a tutorial kinda thing.....The way I see it is ,I have gained alot of
help,info,and more from everyone else here so I hope to do the same for someone else in that sense.......

I just want to make sure everything works as planned.....


By the way I change the path to \My Documents I know windows shipped with that ....LOL

What you will use to play mp3? MicrosoftMediaPlayer?

I'm not sure I understand your question DAOK....

If your referring to ,Using windows media player ocx in the above
mp3 player , It does you the ocx.......


I'm working on one that does not.....

ok you understand my question :D

now that u guys are talkin about music, anyone know how to create an equaliser for ur app using the API? i know this should be in the API section, but since this is a music related thread....

I wanted to add an equaliser but I didnt foind a code who WORK well :(

I Know it possible with mediaplayer and MCI but seems I read that with MCI it's everything todo with the sound card that supports it.....mediaplayer its a matter of code (ocx maybe)...
I've looked around but so far haven't found anything that works...

I cant download your program the FTP dont work.

How can You make a ftp server as you did ?

I use dns redirect...You can learn more about it at http://dnsart.com

I also use Bullet proof ftp server....

You can download bulletproof ftp server on my ftp site.....

I updated a few things.....Try Now.....

Have you tried FMOD? Simple DLL used
to play music through DirectSound or
Windows Media, Includes EQUALIZER
and other DSP effects, Spectrum analysis
load music into multiple channels and so
much more
