This is my first attempt to create a Media Player that supports ID3 with cover art. It has some short comings, but I wanted to share it. Maybe if more people get interested it could get improved quickly.

It needs two wrapers:
AG3 => www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic55452.html
BASS => www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic55454.html

The script itself is here => www.autohotkey.net/~toralf/ID3TagMediaP ... layer3.ahk

Very nice!



Two issues so far, and some minor requests:

- After playing a file, I can move the volume-slider up and down, without effect. Only after I release the slider, and try again, it works.
- Album-pictures that are available are not always shown

- Could you add .ini saving the previous starting folder in the dropdown. Not necessarily autoscan, but at least the folder already there. Oh, and your Mittelmeier link is still there
- Could you write out the names of the labels both in the listview and the edit
- Only English or only Deutsch

Could of course all do this myself, but I thought I'd at least share the ideas of improving, thanks to AHK!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.
Could you provide a test file?

Hi,

Sorry, but there is a misunderstanding. This player only shows the cover art included in the mp3 files. Not the files in the directory.

Ok, I see.

Do you intent on developing this any further?

A little. I do not know how far, since initially I only wanted to create a playlist editor. But realized that I need ID3 Tag reader code for this first. And of cause sometimes I would like to check if the song I want to add to a playlist is the one I wanted, so I needed some player code. So I choosed AudioGenie and wrote the wrapper. Secondly I looked at BASS but wasn't satisfied with the wrapper and created a mod to fit my own expectations of a wrapper.
Hence I do not know how long I will have the time and interest to develop it further, but hey, it's open code, so everone can continue.... :)


I added Ini file for settings. Next release will have it.
Also it now supports more formats than only mp3 files.
Which part of the GUI do you mean? I corrected "Rekursive". But for "Play" I hestitated to use "Start".

These names can be pretty long, thus I used the IDs. And I don't think it will help readiability when the lnog names are used. It would have to be abbreviations.
