The artist selection is coming, as for album selection not sure if this is necessary, the albums are the covers

The list of songs is also coming, thats what the 'flip' button is for....when the flip button is pressed the cd will flip to show what songs are on the cd (in the folder).....

Thx , and all the best to you...

Looks nice, Pete. Thanks for all your work on this.

I'm wondering what kind of CPU usage you're experiencing on this. I have a lowly Pentium 4 and all of the cover viewing plugins I've used so far have spiked usage to 100%, making them unusable.

**pcpete** · 06-05-2009, 01:32 PM

on idle (when the covers are just sitting there) about 3%, but the animation can spike to 60% depending on how many covers you've set to display at a time...

The latest video in RR shows CPU usage, but this is not accurate because most of the cpu is being used to capture and compress the video .....

Great, 60% I can live with.

Hi pcpete,

I use the NaGarmin skin.

I had downloaded the generate_XML.au3 file who create a covers.xml file for my CD list .

When I lunch RR , I push on the covermess button and all run very well and very quickly . It's very fun .

BUT , How can I found a specific CD . Is it possible to filter a CD title or found more easily any thing about a CD (song title or other)

Thanks for this very fun software
