Audio Project

Since i have a lot of time this summer, i am planning on working on a multimedia audio project. Below are the outlines for this project:

-Play Mp3's, Wav, Midi, and CD Audio tracks.

-Write and Vew the song tag.

-Visualizations

-Download Cover Art, Audio Information, Artist Bios from server

-Organize the Music within defined folder(s)

-Make Playlist

I was just wondering what others think of this project and if they think this would be useful. Also was wondering what other options the program should have? and also what a good name would be? Thanx for the help! :D

It's called Windows Media Player 7 ;)

So you think this isn't much od a worth while useful idea? If it isn't what is a better project that is useful?

I think it's a very worthwhile project :) Any project is good if you learn from it :)

A thing to do is, when you've got the basic framework, look around to see what gripes people have about WMP7, and then make sure they're catered for in your program :)

So what problems are there with Windows media player?:D :)


ALso i want this to be a good program that i can distibute and people willl use so if it can't compete with software like wmp7 that comes with computers then is this worthless?

Well, that word beginning with M and ending in T :rolleyes:

I don't have it installed at the moment (using Winamp) so I can't really tell :(

Hmm, i need some insite from people to see what features they want in this program. That was the purpose of the post. To see what people want to people will want it when done.:p

Well, the more we post in here, the more interesting it'll look on the "show today's threads" search :D

Yeah good idea! So come on people tell me some features i need for my program. Please i want this to be one hell of a program.

Come on Parksie can't be the only one with input about my project. I still want to know the following:

What Features Should I Include?

What Problems Are There With Media Player 7?

What Would Be A Good Name For It?

Is This A Worth While App to Work On?


:confused: :confused: :confused:

Hrmmm, I was just going to post a request similar to this one :)
What language would it be written in? C++, right? Well, I am a beginner and would love to have lots of practice. I always hated using those players from the web, because they look realy cool, but I wanted to have my own.. Anyways, I would really like to help you on this(I am also on linux, and learning how to proram c++ on it, so it could be ported :) Of course, I might need to do some research and to get help from the web, but I will do my best to help :) Tell me what you think :)

I'm actually writing it in VB6. So i guess we can't work together. But i would appreciate some input on what sort of features would be good?:rolleyes:

The main features should be plug-ins, a perso encoder, skins, vis. Playlist and all that kind of stuff are must haves :)

I'm currently doing just the same thing, I've got some functions in my app, It plays mp3, wav, midi, avi...
It has a slider (not fully functional just now...)
It is going to have a playlist, ID3 tags & skins
I'd be happy to work with you in the player.
I'm using vb6

id love to help construct this! send me whatu want me to work on to [email protected] and lets get goin

When ever WMP7 doest have the codec for what you are trying to play, it says it will download one for you automatically. So far, i have never seen it do this. It just seems to saying something like "connecting to server" or something like that for about 20 minutes and then says "unable to download codec".

Sure working together might be a good idea. So Sarlacc and Mark do you both want to work together? I have a few good things already coded. Tell me what ya want to do?

I'd like to work with u two, what are you using to do it? mci control? apis?
