    I noticed when I have random on and when it boots it always plays the same song when it first starts up. Anyway to have it randomly select a song on startup so it doesnt do this? Maybe it is just my setup but dunno.

    I don't think random works that way. I believe tht random means that it will play any song in your playlist at random and not in order. When you shut down your computer, Frodo remembers where it was at that time. When you boot back up it goes back to that part in the song, but when that song is finished it will pick another one out at random.

    Correct me if I'm wrong frodo.

    Talking after some use... my thoughts...

    My $.02 ...

    -> put an eject button on the CD interface just like the DVD...

    -> make it so the cursor can be turned off

    -> is there any way I can get the dvd player to output the 5.1 stream to my
    audigy 2 nx? I can only get 5.1 when using winDVD but I prefer full integration...
    especially when dvd's play so nice inside of FrodoPlayer.

    -> make it so the dvd controls only popup when u touch near edge... everytime I
    try to select something in the title menu of the dvd the buttons always pop up
    in the way.

    -> I sort mp3's by directory... when I use the directory mode, it sorts the songs in the
    folder alphabetically by id3 tags.. not the filenames... and rearranges everything.

    -> Also, when I open a folder with several albums by one artist, it shows every track
    in every folder and then alphabitizes them completey jumbling all the albums
    together. Is some form of "normal" windows folder viewing possible?

    -> Is it possible to have it so the line-in can mute and unmute when you select
    the radio module? I have a slight hiss that I'd prefer not to hear when not
    using the dlink radio.

    -> make it so the config screen could load up first like a front page like the
    other frontend softwares do... I skinned a large config screen... but no way
    to make it be the first thing you see.... plus it disappears by itself quickly.

    Thanks for listening... Great app... Good job!

    That will require some thinking to do.


    -> make it so the cursor can be turned off
    I said I will add it, but if you lose your cursor and it doesn't show
    back up when you try to enable it again, no whining


    -> is there any way I can get the dvd player to output the 5.1 stream to my
    audigy 2 nx? I can only get 5.1 when using winDVD but I prefer full integration...

    I have no control over this as far as I know.


    -> make it so the dvd controls only popup when u touch near edge... everytime I
    try to select something in the title menu of the dvd the buttons always pop up
    in the way.
    Will figure something out for this one.


    -> I sort mp3's by directory... when I use the directory mode, it sorts the songs in the
    folder alphabetically by id3 tags.. not the filenames... and rearranges everything.
    Will see what I can do


    -> Also, when I open a folder with several albums by one artist, it shows every track
    in every folder and then alphabitizes them completey jumbling all the albums
    together. Is some form of "normal" windows folder viewing possible?
    Turn off recursion in settings.


    -> Is it possible to have it so the line-in can mute and unmute when you select
    the radio module? I have a slight hiss that I'd prefer not to hear when not
    using the dlink radio.
    Will look into it.


    -> make it so the config screen could load up first like a front page like the
    other frontend softwares do... I skinned a large config screen... but no way

    Config screen ? You mean menu ?

    Maybe he means a "Splash" screen.

    i think he means how when you load up media engine the first screen (not splash) that you see with buttons on it that go into different modes like DVD, MP3, etc. Media Car does it like this also. Not a super huge deal, but i would like this too

    I posted the menu I made in the skins thread... I meant the menu that "config" is on...

    Just thought an option to maybe make it a frontend like the others would be cool...

    one of the best feature of frodoplayer is that it does not take trough heavy menu... it loads and go directly to play mode. Why having a stupid page to choose from - this is for playing music, I do not want to have to click into buttons, I want it to play when I load it up.

    From that playing music mode, you can go directly to any other modes, why changing that???

    I partially agree with that... but I love options... I mean having a full screen selection
    menu helps alot for me... but I just thought a "check box" that would make it or any
    other screen become a launch menu would be a cool option.

    My goal with my carputer is an OEM look... and I think it just looks alot more OEM with
    a front end for when your not listening to music and more approachable by those
    that do not know ur "car entertainment" system.

    I've love the player... just want options... I donated once.. .and everytime he impresses
    me or adds an option I really wanted, I'll donate again.... well worth it
