Play any Song, Artist or Radio Station on Demand From Your Own MP3 Collection

[Wizerd]

Script is working well so far. A couple notes to testers:

Make sure you have latest Winamp for the Winamp Controls cards to work. I was initially using an older version and some of the command line syntax have changed. I am now using the latest version 5.8

Make sure you do not have 'allow multiple instances' enable in the Winamp config

Lovin it so far...great work.

Nice one.

I might get a few others to have a try with it, then I'll clean up the code a bit more and post it.

Let me know if you can think of anything else you'd like it to do.

I can have it call live radio stations, news feeds, or local favourite lists, maybe weather broadcasts, things like that.
It can listen for keywords then execute further batch files.

I might make it scan the drive letter where peoples Mp3's are located using a choice command to automate it a bit more.
I'll possibly do an installer and help file for it later on and locate it in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory with an uninstaller.

Hey Wizerd, are you on Windows 10 by chance ?

[Wizerd]

Yes, I am using Win 10. Starting a help file would be nice, to document setup and a change log. As for features, I would think creation of the mp3 list using a ‘browse to root folder’ would be helpful

Warrior if your still looking for testers im game. i have a rather large library and already use Winamp or if you have perfected this I sure would like to try it. Please let me know at your convenience

Hi Terry

I sent you a PM with the link in it. I have made a few changes to the code since then but nothing too ground breaking.

I was hoping to get a bit more feedback from a few testers on it to work out any quirks with it.

I woulda thought I'd have gotten a few more volunteers by now !

I was messing with a news service for it and a few other things.

Google has a few anomalies in it so the code may look a bit odd. Eg: Sometimes Googles outputs ' 1' instead of ' one '. It's just a matter of playing with it.

This idea for this program is from another program I wrote over 10 years ago which was similar but used typed commands. I've always had a large MP3 library and like having favourite songs played randomly, but commercial free.

Any spotify presets?

[Warrior]

It would play it if it is just a standard link - or a link that can be opened directly using a program.

I just tried the web page and I had to press play though. Is there a way of using a direct link instead ?

[NekLamp]

I don't know how to code but I would like to test it.

Hi Nek

I sent you a PM with the link in it.

Let me know if you need a hand creating your library for it

I've noticed people asking for a link to the files for download. I PM them a link but they aren't checking the thread again or checking their messages.

Make sure you subscribe to this thread and also when you receive a new message.

By default, I don't believe the board does this so that's why people aren't aware I am replying to them.
