Will Avetunes Ever Support Winamp?

Okay I've been using Avetunes just for the CD art display, But since itunes refuses many plugins. Like no Visualization/Spectrum Displays, global hotkeys (im talking about built in), Flac support, high mem usage I'm begging to drift away from it.

I would love winamp to have cd art display but the program winamp CD art has just one or two skins, and AveTunes has so many nice ones. If it was somehow possible to just have Avetunes display Winamp CD art via display the picture embedded in the ID3 tag, that would be awesome.

Note: my main cause of switching to winamp from itunes is the fact that there are LOADS and i mean LOADS of g15 (logitech keyboard) plugins which support winamp more than itunes simply because itunes refuses many things to hook to itself, (DFX for example).

I've tried time and time again to email apple to open up itunes a little more to allow plugin support as winamp has but I've been denied any real response. Not even a message saying they received my email.

I can add it with a day work - however, I'm not quite sure if it is worth my time.

You can get more skins for CD Art Display here.

Anyways I hope you do consider it.

:edit:

Yea but avetunes has much nicer ones still, I mean if they were ported i guess.

#414860

What about I give you the code of this widget and you code it for me? :)

#414867

I would use it.

#414868

if you would help me with it i have about 0.000% prog knowledge I only know BBcode and baisic HTML

If you are willing to help me and provide me with some knowledge or allow me to find the proper resources to consult i will be more than happy.

Although Ill be more than happy to just Beta TEST :P

Which avetunes skins do you want to see ported to CAD?

#414873

I believe it's called AveTunes not AveCrap. j/K :P

CrissCr0ss,

It wouldn't be too hard to port some of the skins over to AveScripter. Which is probably easier (than) to learn than Delphi?

#414881

I dun wanna port skins to avescripter i wanna use Avetunes with winamp lol. Unless all avetunes skin can be ported to winamp cd-art dispaly

#414895

omg if avetunes support winamp instead of itunes that wud be incredible !! that must be so coooll have AveAmp, an equivalent of Avetunes for Winamp .. i will use it right away

enlighten me again of why avetunes cant support foobar 0.9 please?

Enlighten me, where does it say it HAS to support foobar?

AveDesk SDK is available so you're free to code it yourself or stop whining untill someone "blesses" you with one.

#415004

I dont use Itunes whic means I cant use avetunes. :-( So please make aveamp :-)

#415012

yes unbelieve except i dont intend on making AveDesk, With the SDK. is there an SDK for avetunes, so that its possible to work with it. As i posted earlier im noob programmer I know jack all. So If i can get some info on what language its written in so i can start my learning experience and hopefully be able to include some code that will enable Winamp support so that I can give it to our man Ave to include it in a future update of Avetunes.

#415031

another request for ave: please make aveshop so i can play my psd's in avedesk. oh, and also make avefox, so i can play my html files in avedesk.

#415047

Here's an idea. Instead of begging. Maybe someone should set up a paypal donate fund for Ave to create AveAmp or wtf? Come on a day's worth of programming is considerable time & money is always a good motivator.

Think about it, there's over 15,000 users (being conservative I think) surely 500 people could chip in a buck?

#415051

id chip in a buck or more if it came to be.. If only i can get that stupid paypal account. Is there anyway to get online $$$ w/o credit card?

#415106

enlighten me again of why avetunes cant support foobar 0.9 please?

Simple. Foobar is a project by the developer to experiment with. Thus he changes it quite often. And has broken compatibility with each major release. (I still want support for foobar too)

#415112

Just wanted to say supporting winamp is a fantastic idea.

#415143

i'd really appreciate winamp support :P

#415233

I might sell AveAmp :)

#415647

I might sell AveAmp :)

Interesting idea Ave..

#415651

I have an experimental version of AveTunes supporting Winamp.

Currently supported:

+ basic information such as artist, title, name, genre

+ progressbar and timers working

+ albumart -> folder.jpg and embedded albumart

+ basic actions: play/pause, prev, next

+ volume

Not supported currently:

+ add file

+ add coverart

+open file

+ playlist

+ changing position of track thru progressbar (activewinamp bug maybe)

+ some information pieces missing still, like year

3 bucks for a download, whaddya think?
