Aqua-Soft Forumsi'm an itunes guy, but i think that's great! damn, you're good at this stuff...
Will Avetunes Ever Support Winamp?
That does look nice. Three bucks is more than fair, it's a bargain in my books.
3 buck for a... what are you talking about?
Ave, are you serious about this 3 bucks for a download deal? :confused:
It'd be sick.. AveAmp.. and I'd pay but I don't have a paypal & various other excuses..
I'd use avedesk if I somehow got it 
That is FREAKING AWSOME, as long its not some photoshop work. 
ps, if u need beta test ill be more than glad. But 3 bucks i wudnt mind ima just need to get hands on a paypal account :S But wow that is nicee STUFF!!
Might i add will it support current avetunes skins?
Unfortunately, since AveTunes is free, to charge $3 for AveAmp seems biased and perhaps opportunistic in some way.
Just a thought, you may want to ask Carlos for premission to interface with his DLL that comes with CD Art Display. I have a feeling it might save you some work.

Yeah why not? There went in effort that I don't profit from personally (I use WMP & iTunes). It's less than a coca cola at Mc Donalds and people seem to have no problem paying for that.

It's no photoshop thing and it supports all avetunes features - in fact, it's just avetunes with support for winamp (the player will auto detect winamp or itunes).

Again, I don't use winamp myself - I went thru the trouble of it not for myself.

Thanks for the suggestions - but I currently rely on activewinamp which seems to be the "de facto standard".
I think that 3 bucks is something i would pay for. No problem, c'mon it's rather ridicolous. But i mean i'd pay for the full working thing, right?
I pretty much got this thing working now.
Please.... :D release baby :D
Now ave it was fun doing that wasn't it.. you learnt along the way etc.. ?
..hope..
I say if you want it, you need tio pay for as with everything in life.
People have been freeloading on your work Ave long enough. It's time you get something in return
Progress:
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
+ open/add file
+ changing position of the song thru trackbar
Not supported currently:
+ add coverart
+ playlists (winamp doesn't keep a list of them)
+ some information pieces missing still, like year
Doesn't crash anymore on closing winamp either.
Summarizing
AveTunes 4 can run all current avetunes skins with iTunes or Winamp, with only a bit of not a lot used functionality is not supported for winamp. AveTunes4 will probably be true donationware: you gotta donate a pre-determined amount of money to get it e-mailed to you.
@Ave
3 (three) bucks are not a problem for me, but the problem is how am I going to transfer them to you?
If you can tell me this I'm paying you right now!
Anybody interested in Foobar2000 support?
I just hope all your other projects dont become pure DONATIONWARE. Anyways list the details and ill try to figure something out with donations. Also its that In USD, because im a studen 17 yrs old and live in Canada im just curious.
guess what? avedesk is already donationware. but hey, ask andreas to do something, then complain about the 50 cent conversion rate. maybe you could just send him $3 worth of pi$$ing and moaning.
@shmengie I couldn't understand if ur post was a flame towards me or not. But just to clear it up. Im not *****ing at the fact that i need to pay or the conversion rate. Im just clarifying.
And what i meant bout PURE Donationware, is that we had to donate prior to getting it which is similar to buying it
yeah, i was flaming you. but, i feel kinda bad about it now. sorry. moving on...
if you have to donate prior to getting it, it's not a donation. that's payware.
The suggestion isn't/wasn't to cause a flame war. I'm know programmer & barely basically adequate at scripting. If you look at widgetmachine you'll see that many developers charge for their dashboard widgets.
The time involved just in creating a simple widget can be quite substantial let alone creating a plugin. All of us understand varying financial circumstances, school, not working, etc. I'm one of those people; however, if someone makes a specific request that requires a significant amount of time to develop then you shouldn't expect something for nothing.
There are also otherways to donate beside money. Personally, I think if Ave developed AveTunes/AveAmp as a standalone using a developers version of AveDesk then I wouldn't be surprised that he would sell quite a few, definitely at three bucks. Not every winamp plugin is free either.
Foobar2000 support: Hmmm... hard to find a good way to detect if foobar2000 is running.
Andreas, I would pay for it too. It's been too long, finally someone voices up about this. Actually I have in the past, but it was somehow brushed by. I personally don't use iTunes cuz I find it to be crap. I just don't like its clunky interface and its memory hogging footprint. The only time I installed iTunes was to try out AveTunes, now it'll be supporting WinAMP, I have to say I am rather excited.
