usedHONDA 4 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 In other news, I finally made the jump from WMP10 to WMP11. I'm a notoriously late-adopter of new technology. Ugh. I haven't used WiMPy in years. iTunes FTW!! :-) VLC FTW! Have you seen the myriad of filetypes it supports? [*] But if you want a media player that prefers power over compatibility, I once again point out Songbird. By default, it has a UI very similar to iTunes, but you can download extra "Feathers" to give the UI a twist. And we can't forget the fact that packs a Firefox-based web browser in there 8) Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Man Dan 19 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I just use Windows Media Player, personally. It meets all my needs, hooks up to FoxyTunes (a Firefox plugin that lets you control your music player straight from Firefox)... FoxyTunes hooks up to a lot more than just WiMP.

Myrddin 5 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Good man! Can I assume you possess MediaMonkey, CMD? Although, your icon represents the 2.0 series, might I be so bold to ask you to upgrade to 3.0? Even if you do not use it, usually having the latest version of any software is very satisfying, if advantageous. Or, have you not got MediaMonkey and your screenshot shows the available options to FoxyTunes?

Crazy Man Dan 19 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm afraid I've never used Media Monkey - it's simply one of FoxyTunes' options. Sorry there.

usedHONDA 4 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Or, have you not got MediaMonkey and your screenshot shows the available options to FoxyTunes? Bingo! FoxyTunes likes to show off all the media players it supports, which is why you see lesser-known programs like Pandora and wxMusic on the list On a slightly different subject, I'm still yet to get VLC to work with FoxyTunes. It just doesn't want to work!

david.atwell 290 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Y'all should get some cough drops. Oh, and until Songbird can buy music and TV shows off of iTunes Music Store, I think I'll stick with iTunes. :-) And it's never tried to bloat me with Safari...then again, I already have it for web dev...

jake2k 7 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Anyone know of a good free place to make a gallery for my stuff, like a free website hosting... thing o_O. It would be really cool if they let you design your own page so I can get into web design tia Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Ryan 15 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Nope, none that I can think of. Your best bet is to set up a Photobucket account and a Zymic account. From there start using Zymic to code your own gallery. If you want some basic tips on cool tools for your gallery, then I recommend jQuery and Lightbox. I am designing a gallery and the two of them go good together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That list got so much bigger than it was when I last saw it! I mean, sure, FT has updated like eight times, but I thought it was some insignificant thing... I used Pandora (Free internet radio) for a long time... That was before I got a ton of music, and could just listen to my collection in WMP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myrddin 5 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 I dare not ask what you're deleting that is of such sensitivity. I'm assuming it won't be banking details. Perhaps you're writing a novel, or maybe your waste PDN files might cause a riot amidst the art community if ever found?

Myrddin 5 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 vista?: The CIA, no. The NSA... well, they already have anything you've sent electronically: The National Security Agency's Echelon Network surveillance “towers” in Great Britain and the U.S. known to the world’s intelligence elite as “radomes” ... [capture] billions of the world's telephone conversations, e-mails, Internet downloads, satellite transmissions, and faxes.The messages culled each day are searched by supercomputers housed at the Fort Meade Army compound near Chesapeake Bay, where they are scanned by electronic “dictionaries” that capture key words that have been programmed for top-secret review and action. These millions of messages are read in real time as they pour into the station, hour after hour, day after day... I figured it all fit into your NSA-style deletion conversation you have on the go. I've only just become aware of this, but the above is bound to feed sabrown's paranioa of the World's governments. I am so sorry.
