[Feature Requests] nAMP Player
Here is a great request IMO. 
- When nAMP is not seleceted... the close/min/max buttons go dim and greyscaled.
It's interesting - Apple systems have one button. One. Sure, I've heard that some mac users use Intellimouse Explorers (...mmm... sweet five buttons, how I love you...), but I've never actually seen a Mac with anything else but the standard mouse.
Windows users, on the other hand, not only have at least two buttons plus the mousewheel, but they demand support for them.
I've explained this before - adding mousewheel support makes the developement process inherently unstable, since VB doesn't natively support the intellimouse. If I can find a workaround for this, I'll add it in, but if I don't, mousewheel support won't be in until the final release canidates. Very sorry - but that's the way it is.
*twitch* Or... not...
Looks like I spoke too soon. Now, I was telling the truth when I said "VB doesn't natively support the intellimouse". However, I just discovered that my method of creating my application's WinProcs (the place where all the message that Windows sends to nAMP are processed) was fundamentally flawed.
One relatively minor fix later, and nAMP has mousewheel support. Look for it in the next release (joy! rapture! See, I actually do listen to you guys! 
).
ROFL!!!
Mithrandel, I just couldn't stop laughing and smiling from ear to ear... 
That was the funniest comeback I've ever read in a long time.
Cheers!

Yes, that is true.
But on the other hand -- the real iTunes still has mousewheel support.
Also, glad to hear you've found a solution, can't wait for the next version. (Y)
Me too with mousewheel support then nAMP will definitely stay my default media player for ages 
One more thing...would it be easy to enable arrow key support? so that i can scroll through my tracks with my arrow keys...that would be great if possible
Arrow keys definitely work on the mac. Pressing shift while using the up-down arrow keys does multiple selection. Good suggestion
Uh... sorry guys, VB doesn't natively support the keyboard. 
What, the greyed out buttons when an app loses focus? Yes, very possible.
Let me make a point, here - VB can do EVERYTHING that C++ can, with the exception of advanced class constructers/deconstructers/inheritance (yes, VB can do *pointers, APIs, WM processing, etc.). The problem with VB programs is that the VB framework includes 'built in events', where VB will handle simple things like mouse-clicks, form painting, and loading/unloading classes and controls for the programmer. However, you don't want to let VB do this for you - just like C++, you want to do it all yourself.
So, the question isn't "is it possible with VB?" - rather, you want to ask, "Mithrandel, are you smart enough to do this?"
ok, so Mithrandel, are you smart enough to grey out buttons when nAMP is not in focus?
Heheheh. We'll see.
Sometimes, something I think is really easy to program will take me days to get working. Other times, something that I think will be difficult to get working, and even then, will make everything else unstable kofkofmousescrollingkofkof will start working right with just a slight push in the right direction.
So you never know.
For the record, I think detecting when nAMP is out of focus and then graying the buttons will be easy. But it won't make it into the next version, I'll tell you that much. I'll put it on my to-do list.
Mithrandel,
I still can't see the filenames and tags in Russian. They turn out as crappy useless symbols. Could you make it support international stuff? The only help I can offer in this case is send you some mp3s with Russian tags...
Miska - sorry, but that would require that I write in unicode support for nAMP. While that will eventually make it in, it won't be for a while yet. I have a long to-do list already. 
I know I posted earlier but i posted it in the wrong place, im just adding to it so plz dont delete this mods.
I AM WILLING TO OFFER MY SERVICES IN WHATEVER WAY I CAN TO SEE THIS APP HAVE A RADIO FEATURE, I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER BUT IF U NEED HELP WITH PUTTING THE URL'S OF WEB RADIO CHANNELS IN NAMP ID BE WILLING TO DO SOME OF THAT
Just a thought, would it be possible to have nAMP to Radio option in the Sources Menu which would bring up a database of online radio stations programmed into nAMP's Radio Library
eg Real ONE Player or Windows Media Player
Now as you can see, the radio stations are listed within the player admittedly they are in categorys which might be a good idea but just listing them would be great perhaps we could click on the radio button in the source menu, and the categorys would then show up the we choose the category we want and select the station we want to connect to from a list. Look at the image below and see how the stations are listed this would be how i'd imagine nAMP could list our stations (just look at the actual radio stations not the featured list or anything else, just the station list)
An example of how I could see nAMP handeling Radio Stations
The list of stations it could connect to could be a list from Shoutcast.com or any other radio service, we should also be able to add are own presets
Hope this is some how possible and if theres any way i can help id be glad to
I can give you some help with radio. its on the cards for the enxt version of iSongs.
oooo boy radio on isongs now thats going to be sweet!
this player really gets me excited about aqua apps again and at this point I'm pretty jaded.
three things though would make this player go from backup to qcd as it is now for me to delete everything else (my one and only baby!)
one mouse wheel support
drag and drop mp3s to main play window
ability to open a mp3 file by double clicking it and have it play in namp.

I thought you can already do that in XP by right-clicking on any file/open with/choose program/and checking the box at the bottom: "Always use the selected program to open this type of file"..??
nope not with namp you can't
How about support for DirectSound?
DirectSound will be the default output device in the next release.
