Itunes Sidekick Requests ?

Hey all,

If you have any requests for iTunes Sidekick please post them here. I know there are some people out there with requests..

I was thinking about having the ability to customize the iTunes Systray Icon..

I was also thinking of having the ability to customize how Sidekick writes the song information to file..

Perhaps have some kind of variables like..

@Album%Album:@Song%Song:@Artist%Artist:

This would display

Album: Album Name
Song: Song Name
Artist: Artist Here

the @ symbol signifies the category..

the % symbol signifies the Title before the the actual song info..

Should I also allow configuration of how the information is seperated or are NewLines ok ??

I have a small [devish] one:

In your Plugin, create a defined Named Event so that clients remote controlling iTunes can detect if iTunes is already running. Fire that (manual reset) event upon shutdown of your plugin and Sleep() a customizable amount of milliseconds before returning so that automation clients of iTunes can close gracefully and that sodding message box doesn't appear.

Background: Apple built a COM API for iTunes but forgot to inform its clients when the user closes the app. See AveDesk/AveTunes shutdown behaviour.

PM me for more details or code samples. I have a running implementation built on top of the sample visual plugin but it crashes iTunes on close.

would it be possible to display song name in the taskbar as a toolbar?

Yes, it would be possible. I currently have another iTunes project which I am currently trying to get finished up. I'm sure you have heard of the iTunes Skin Creator and iTunes Skinner which I have posted about numerous times in this particular Thread.. Once I have completed the iTunes Skin Creator then I will start work on updating my plug-in...

Laterz,
