*That sounds like something that has been done before... hmmmmm*

Hey whoever distributes RR, just include winamp. Its GPL or whatever that allows it to be redistributed freely (without profits), and RR uses an old version anyways right? Just include it, and have RR build the INI itself so you NEVER see it. Also why isn't RR defaulted to My Music for the playlists? Who is thinking about these things? Why aren't the GPS programs autodetected? its just a CLSID, or even an EXE file.

Furthermore, all INI files should re-create to their defaults if they are deleted. Thats a core feature of MediaEngine. Its really hard to mess up unless you start deleting skin files, and then it even still works because it has a built in super simple default skin. Placeholders really with black/white images.

I'd do this, but dang I don't really want to work on someone elses software. I'd rather work on my own.

RR isn't a badly written program. The code is actually VERY well structured and completely documented. Its just going in too many directions at once. Its like windows. Its quickly getting too big for a small group to manage. Its going to HAVE to have a custom website built to organize everything. MP3car forums just isn't going to cut it, and someone soon who is in charge or RR will realize this. I just hope they are a good website designer.

Maybe i'll do an installer some time. If you all like how M.E. installs, then let me know. I'll try to whip up an installer AND a config program with a walkthrough.
