Suggestions / Requests

I've been trying to use the slider bars in my car and find the only one I am use to is the one for time position in the song.

If the other sliders were like the one in the directory view that would be nice. It has up and down arrows and a slider. It's also thinner so more text would show.

I would like it if there would be a way to "lock" the configuration with a password. I know you can always change the ini file, but i would like if a not experimented user would not have access to fool with all the features available and scrap the whole setup.

I am quite certain my girlfriend might get in there while I'm driving...

I imagine it being done by inserting a boolean for it being passworded or not, and a string for the password.

If required by settings, the same keyboard as research would pop asking for password (down arrow (ESC) would cancel the request to get into settings)

Also, is there a way to edit the ID3 Tag off the MP3s? Ifever you have a mislabeled tag, the only way is to get into winamp? (not that I mind...)

Frodo, I was just watching some videos and I find it necessary to adjust media player's brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue sliders, etc. What do you suggest?

**Marsupial** · 05-01-2004, 12:50 AM

Thanks frodo. There is no rush on those requests... its more some kind of whish list. Your software is already realy great. This said, thanks for looking into it and if it could become part of a future release, I'd be flatered.

Just out of curiosity - would the way you programed the day/night skin leave room for a day/night option in the main menu? (click night, click day... you know, to switch on the fly)
It would mainly be great for test purposes...

I guess it stops on the button action, but not by reading the volume change.

I fixed this, it will be available in the next version.

Very nice, much thanks Frodo.

I've been using the software in my car and all my friends think it's so clean and nice and easy to use.

This is now fixed, it will be in release 1.0.5

Showing a new feature a lot of you will like...

IF FrodoPlayer is based on WMP, could the 10-band EQ perhaps be accessible from within FrodoPlayer in some future incarnation? Or maybe it's already available and I missed the boat (again)??

Another oversight with microsoft I'm afraid. Cannot be done.
