i'm sure i will make my own miniplayer once you release the source code.

does FMOD supports natively audio-streams or is it your own decoder ?

It's built into FMOD. The only additional format support that I added are .pls and .m3u files, but they are just metafiles so it wasn't very hard.

Heathen, very nice app. Thank you. The only minor suggestion I would make is the initial audio driver select dialog is a little non-intuitive (seems like one has to double-click the appropriate driver). It would be better to have some text to say something like select driver, and have an 'OK' or 'Continue' button.

Very Nice! Thank You very much. This is worthy of 'extender' quality in Vista's Windows Media Center.

I agree fully and changed it for the next update

Thanks for all of the great comments guys! Im glad you all like it.

PS: Does anyone know how systrayicon transparency works?

That should be an evil grin smiley as you cut off the important part of the sentence!!!

> There's not enough space to add mute

Reduce the width of the ComboBox and add another button next to the "?" button.
Or, change the "?" button to a mute button and put "About" as a menu option in
the System Tray menu.

This is VERY nice Heathen.
Sound is great through my 6 channel direct @ 1000 watts

Only thing I might suggest is that the statusbar text seems to be a little bit jittery so you might like to slow it's response time down a little.
This would make a nice little U3 compatible device too btw.

Yeah, that flickering can be annoying, I will see about cleaning that up in a future version.

Updated to 0.3

Sorry for bumping my thread, but Im really hoping someone can tell me how I can make the systrayicon transparent. I think it would look alot nicer that way.

Use an Icon Editing program to decrease the alpha of the icon, and that should work.

Nice application. I have had it running in the background for 3 days straight now lol.. beats listening to a predictable mp3 or cd playlist.

Thanks man, just wasnt too sure how the icon format works, whether I had to handle the transparency programmatically or if it was built into the format. I will look into that!

Heathen,

radio is great!

One small suggestion:
Please save the current stream when the program exits, then re-open it
the next time instead of the first stream in the playlist file.

Thanks for a simple, elegant application!

Regards,
Eric

Sounds like a good idea

Thanks for the suggestion and compliments.
