Who: Trout
What: A small, simple freeware audio player written in AHK using the BASS audio engine.
Supported: 95/98/ME/2k/XP/Vista
Version: v1.0.3 build 275
Where: Installer or Zip
Description
My main audio player for many years has been, and will remain, foobar but there are some times when I just want a simple "load'n'play" type of player. An application that comes very close is Billy. It's a FANTASTIC little app that fits in with my preference in software...standard controls, no skins, etc. However, it only supports MP3, WAV, OGG, & FLAC and it also doesn't display tags. My audio collection comprises many more formats than that and I tag files religiously. So, with that in mind, I've always wanted to write my own simple player. k3ph and I have wrapped the BASS audio engine in AutoHotkey and I've written a player called Trout.
I orginally released Trout as part of the 2009 NANY (New Apps for the New Year) promotion on this thread at DonationCoder.com. I have been hesitant to post it here because I have no interest in releasing the source and I didn't want any potential thread to degenerate into a "decompiling flamewar" that I've seen in the past. Yes, I'm well aware that there is not much I can do against somebody hell-bent on decompiling it, but please respect my decision to keep the source closed. If you don't agree with my decision not to share the source, feel free not to try Trout, and I would ask that you not use this thread to discuss 'open vs. closed source issues.' That being said, one of my goals/challenges in writing this player was to only use GUI controls native to AHK and I'm happy to share how I've done anything in Trout.
Special thanks goes to k3ph, Titan, ChalamiuS, Rhys, Lexikos, SKAN, and app103 for their testing and feedback. Many thanks to all the authors of code snippets, from these forums, that I have modified and used within Trout. This includes, but is not limited to, SKAN, DerRaphael, Sean, majkinetor, Icarus, engunneer and wOxxOm. Finally, thanks to hamradio for Trout's icon.

menu option won't even appear.

before adding the tracks e.g. c:\path\to\trout.exe c:\myMusic
2) If you use the new /add parameter, it will NOT clear out the list before
adding the new path e.g. c:\path\to\trout.exe /add c:\myMusic

v1.0.3 build 64 - 2009-09-23

Currently, you can make it stay on-screen until it loses focus or you can make it disappear
immediately. Tools, Options, Toaster tab. (Thanks, app103)
* Improved the "Repeat file" mode to do gapless looping. (Thanks, superboyac)
! Add URL GUI showed up incorrectly under Windows 7 Beta. (Thanks, temp01)
! Album art showed up incorrectly on startup if Trout was installed on the
root of a drive. (Thanks, temp01)

a pause state. Leave it set at zero (0) to turn it off. [Thanks, brotherS]
v1.0.2 build 220

[Thanks, Hezzu]
v1.0.2 build 186
* Search/jump now highlights the top row automatically. [Thanks, Hezzu]
* 'Resume playback on start' option now remembers play/pause state. [Thanks, brotherS]
v1.0.2 build 178
+ Added two checkboxes to the Options, Toaster tab:
1) Enable toaster popup.
2) Do not show toaster popup while main window is active.
* Improved the seek and volume bars:
1) A single mousedown session cannot affect both controls. [Thanks, brotherS & SoggyDog]
2) Letting go of the left mouse button outside of the seekbars will now work. This should
allow for dragging the seekbar all the way back to the start of the song or all the way
to the end of a song. [Thanks, SoggyDog]
* Clicking on the toaster popup will keep it open as long as it's the active window.
v1.0.2 build 176
* Random mode now does a basic check so that the same song isn't played twice in a row.
* Changed "Play track/beep between tracks" to "Audible notification on new track".
! "Audible notification on new track" wasn't working properly on Trout startup. [Thanks,
brotherS]
v1.0.2 build 172
+ Added a play button to the "Play track/beep between tracks" option so you can preview the
chosen sound file. [Thanks, brotherS]
+ Added a checkbox on the Options form to enable/disable the "Play track/beep between tracks"
function. [Thanks, brotherS]
+ Added another hidden config.ini setting under Settings: Update_Method=zip
Setting this will allow the DcUpdater app to work with Trout's portable zip file as opposed
to the installer.
v1.0.2 build 153
+ New option under Options, General. You can now set how the listview behaves when dropping
files on it (or the minibars). Choices are:
- Never clear the existing playlist (Default/current way)
- Always clear the existing playlist
- Always ask me what to do
[Thanks, mouser]
+ Created a new "List" menu entry and moved the "Remove track after playback" option to it.
+ Added a "Play track/beep between tracks" options. This is mainly for listening to audio
books so you can be alerted to chapter changes, etc. You set the options under Options,
General and toggle the functionality using the List menu entry. [Thanks, brotherS & mouser]
! Fixed a seeking issue where Trout wouldn't behave properly if the elapsed time was smaller
than the user-set seek interval. This also cropped up if the remaining time was less than
the seek interval. [Thanks, brotherS]
v1.0.2 build 149
+ Added a "Remove track after playback" option to the View menu. This will make Trout act
in a sort of queue mode. [Thanks, app103]
+ Added Last.fm "love" functionality to the minibars. Currently, this will take you
directly to the track's page on Last.fm so you can mark it as loved. Future plans will
be to make this button "love" a track automatically. [Thanks, app103]
! The $time_r/$time_e tokens now update in realtime. Putting those tokens in the titlebar
string may result in flickering. [Thanks, brotherS]
v1.0.2 build 146
+ Another hidden config.ini setting: WinampAPI_Titlebar_Fix=1
What this does is add a " - Winamp" to the titlebar text. The reason is that some WinampAPI
driven front-ends will actually crash if that text isn't there...even though they eventually
strip it for display. The mind boggles. [Thanks, hollow87 & app103]
+ Column orders are now saved. [Thanks, app103]
! Removing files from the listview should be much quicker (back to the way it used to be).
v1.0.2 build 129
+ Added a hidden setting for more aggressive listview refreshing. If you're
experiencing listview painting issues, add the following entry to the Settings
section of your config.ini: Force_Listview_Refresh=1
[Thanks, daonlyfreez]
+ Added an option to specify the seek jump interval in seconds. Default is a jump of
one second. Tools, Options, Miscellaneous section. [Thanks, brotherS]
* The statusbar track times (TE: & TR:) now update while a track is paused. [Thanks, brotherS]
! Fixed 'Remove dupes' and 'Remove dead entries' broken in build 119.
! Fixed the list search broken in build 119.
v1.0.2 build 119
+ Made the following keys available for hotkeys: - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /
+ Added a "Preserve file modification time when saving tags" options under Tools, Options,
General. [Thanks, badmojo]
* More Win9x/ME compatibility fixes.
1) Font selection size should now work properly.
2) Hotkeys should work now. However, mouse-button hotkeys under 9x are sketchy at best.
3) Text display bits should be more compatible with themed progress bars.
* Added 'Options' back to the tray menu. [Thanks, lanux128]
v1.0.2 build 106
+ Added "Explore here" option to the Edit/context menu. [Thanks, apfel]
+ Added an option for specifying a custom file manager in regards to the 'Explore here'
feature. It's under the Tools, Options, General tab. You use the $file_p token for
the path. I use Altap Salamander as my file manager of choice so I have the
following specified:
C:\apps\file\Salamander\salamand.exe -L "$file_p"
This would open Altap Salamander with the left pane at the path of the currently
focused song. If a custom file manager is not specified, the path is simply "run"
and Windows Explorer will most likely display (unless you have some other file manager
specified as default on your system).
* Cut the tray menu back down the basics as it was getting out of hand.
v1.0.2 build 103
+ Added website button to the About dialog. [Thanks, Darin]
+ Playlist block selections are now movable via ctrl-up and ctrl-down. [Thanks, majkinetor]
+ Added the following as hotkeyable items: Add files, Add folders, Load playlist,
and Add URL. [Thank, tomos]
+ Added DonationCoder DcUpdater compatibility. [Thanks, lanux128]
If you would like to use this functionality, do the following:
1) Download and install mouser's DcUpdate application from here:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/Updater/downloads/DcUpdaterSetup.exe
2) Download this and extract dcuhelper.exe to your Trout folder:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/Updater/downloads/dcuhelper.zip
3) You will now see the new option under the Help menu.
* Updated to latest BASS format plugins.
* Updated to latest BASS library. [Thanks, k3ph]
! Added code to prevent duplication of hotkeys. [Thanks, SoggyDog]
v1.0.2 build 91
+ Added code to support Win9x/ME systems. Thanks to Drugwash and app103 for testing.
Notes:
1) Win9x/ME users will get the older slider controls for volume and seekbars.
2) Tag editing has been disabled under Win9x/ME.
3) freedb.org for CDs appears to work.
4) Last.fm appears to work as well.
5) Copy-to-clipboard functions do not copy in unicode.

* Fixed text display for 120 DPI systems. Hopefully. [Thanks, majkinetor]
v1.0.2 build 64
+ Added "/clipboard" as a commandline parameter.
* AudioGenie library update to v1.0.5.2.

+ Added 'Clear playlist', 'Remove duplicates', & 'Remove dead entries' as hotkeyable
items.
+ New option: 'Remember last playback position & auto-play on start'. [Thanks, Rhys]
* Moved the 'Fonts & Colors' options to its own tab.
v1.0.2 build 45
+ Added 'Remove duplicates' and 'Remove dead entries' to the Edit menu. [Thanks, app103]
* Tag edit GUI doesn't display the missing tag string in the edit fields. [Thanks, app103]
* Made the "Update tags" button default now so you can simply press 'Enter' when
you're done editing tags.
* All Last.fm data should now be properly handled in utf-8 format.
* Edit, Copy path/URL should now copy in unicode.
v1.0.2 build 38
+ Added a Last.fm entry to the edit/context menu. You can go directly to the
artist/album/title on Last.fm's website. [Thanks, app103]
+ Added the Edit menu to the minibar's menu.
! Further fixes to the Last.fm submit checks. [Thanks, app103]
* Changed up the 'Minimize to tray on startup' routine to be more
reliable. [Thanks, app103]
v1.0.2 build 6
* Fixed volume control issues introduced when I did the listview response
changes.
v1.0.2 build 4
+ Added 'Minimize on startup' to the Options dialog. [Thanks, app103]
* Fixed the "Rescan tags" function in the edit menu. Sheesh. =]
* Fixed Last.fm sending when artist/title tags are missing. [Thanks, app103]
v1.0.2 build 3
* Fixed the "Select all" function in the edit menu. [Thanks, nogojoe]
v1.0.2 build 1
+ Added basic Last.fm support. Trout's support of Last.fm is limited to the
following:
1) A track must be longer than thirty seconds to be considered for submittal.
2) Artist and title tags MUST be present.
3) "Now playing" information will be sent ten seconds into track playback.
4) For a track to be "submitted", it must have played at least 240 seconds
OR half its track length.
5) Trout does NO caching of tracks. It's pretty doubtful I will add this
capability in the future unless there is some huge need for it.
See the following URL for more details: http://www.last.fm/api/submissions#subs
+ Mousewheel over the main window's volume control now changes the volume.
* Re-arranged the Edit menu a bit. There is now a "Selection" entry with several
sub-entries. 'Invert selection', 'Remove from list', and 'Rescan tags' have been
moved to this submenu. There is also a new entry that will allow you to delete
the selection to the Recycle Bin. If a file can't be deleted to the bin, you will
be warned of such and allowed the option of deleting the file directly.
* Tried to improve the responsiveness of the listview when switching tracks by
double-clicking.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0.1 ----------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.0.1 build 96
- Reverted the tooltip changes from build 95 until I can make them work more
reliably.
v1.0.1 build 95
+ Added sections in Options for custom colour choices for new slider controls.
* Completely changed up the volume and seekbar sliders. They now use standard
progress bars.
* The minibar toolstips now pick up their colour from the volume colour settings.
I will add a separate colour option if there is call for it. [Thanks, app103]
* Shortened up the Options dialog a bit to (hopefully) fit certain laptop
resolutions. [Thanks, Controller]
! Tray menu "Stop" action didn't function properly.
! Clicking cancel on colour dialog would improperly reset the control. [Thanks,
Controller]
v1.0.1 build 84
+ Added "Rescan selected" as a hotkeyable item. This should make it easy
to highlight files and quickly rescan their tags. [Thanks, tomos]
+ Added "Edit tags" as a hotkeyable item.
+ Added "Filename" column. [Thanks, Tomos]
* Revised the main GUI a tiny bit (slimmed down the side borders).
! Random mode will start with the currently highlighted file. [Thanks, tomos]
! Fixed the "skip over unplayable tracks" behaviour. [Thanks, apfel]
v1.0.1 build 80
+ Added "Rescan tags of selected files" to the edit menu.
+ Added BASIC tag editing capabilities to Trout. There are some caveats.
You can only edit one file at a time. By default, the following
tag types will be written to the following file types:
mp3 ID3v2 tags
aac ID3v2 tags
wma WMA fields
ape APEv2 tags
flac Vorbis comments
ogg Vorbis comments
mp4 Not implemented yet
wav None
You can TRY to force ID3v1, ID3v2, and/or APEv2 tags by checking the
appropriate boxes. This does not work for all file types.
+ Added another section to the statusbar that shows the total number of
tracks in the playlist as well as whatever row is focused e.g. 2/12.
v1.0.1 build 79
+ Added "Play CD in drive ?:" as a hotkeyable item. This should work
dynamically for any number of & letter of CDROM drives. [Thanks, nogojoe]
v1.0.1 build 77
* Changed the freedb.org parsing routine to handle CDs that return multiple
matches. [Thanks, nogojoe]
v1.0.1 build 73
+ Added option for a custom string display when tags are missing. The
