Snapshooter was using those unicode boxes which I really don't understand but the basic methodology is simple. The key issue is where to put the code, which is for the specific column in the playlist, i.e. Columns UI, Playlist view, Columns, Artist/Album, Display. Then it's pretty simply. Get Artist, (comma to line down), Get Album, Tab, Get Date. (He uses named globals to access colour/font). I think that I can fairly share the code snippet but you will have to play with it:

Code:

[left]//Album $select($min(5,%tracknumber%), $get_global(c_t_artist)|$get_global(c_t_artist) %album artist%, $get_global(c_t_album)|$get_global(c_t_album) %album% $tab() $get_global(c_t_date)|$get_global(c_t_date) %date%,[/left]

Okay, I did something which I haven't seen before and which is working quite well. Basically, Snapshooter's multi-column playlist view is wonderful for listening to albums and songs, and for feeding the Queue Manager (middle mouse click on a song in the playlist throws it in the queue.) It's easy to look at multiple albums by an artist and it's space-efficient; I use it 90% of the time. However, it isn't great for working with playlists because the information in the Artist/Album column becomes random depending on the track number in the original album, i.e. you don't get a proper indicator of artist and album when you mix songs together. By contrast, AceDriver's single-column playlist view is great for working with personal playlists because everything is properly organised. (Middle mouse click sends songs to playlist from the library panel.)

So what I have done using Tabbed Panel Stack Mods is to create a config that cycles between multi and single columns by a button ('Columns View") at the bottom left. Another button ("Queue <> Playlists") cycles between the Queue Manager and Playlist Switcher. (I also have a button that cycles betwen the Library and Explorer panels although I rarely use the latter.) Here is how it looks:

View for listening to Albums and Songs and using the Queue Manager:


View for listening with Playlists:


It might be a little bit slower to load having both playlist views and I'm thinking that it may be more of a pig on resources (so for that matter is the Queue Manager which is a .net module) but it's probably still quite reasonable compared to something like WinAmp or iTunes and it works great.

Hey I got a new now-playing screen...well based on someone elses code but what the heck


Normal display (clickable):


Extra info the first/last 30 seconds of a track (clickable):


And when the song is from a double CD

(clickable):


Half the beauty is finding good artist images though...

 

[cooperpwc]

Actually that's pretty interesting. Hard to populate for a large collection but it looks good.

If you used ( and ) it would work

@leokennis that's pretty neat!

interesting enough, I can't see most of the pictures being post up here right now. Maybe is something up with my computer.

but anyway, for someone from few post above, forgot who it is....

Did you install the fonts for HSD???

Because it sounds like font problem to me.

If not, make sure you actually copy everything, and everything appear in the box.

Yes, I know it sounds odd, but something... somehow, for me,

after few copy and paste,

the // will be missing

resulting in faulty code. So, yes, just try it again I guess.

When I enqueue songs from windows explorer, the tracks go in the just added playlist.

Decided to give Foobar a shot this past week. It'd always seemed intimidating to me since I'm a customization nut and wanted to make it look the way I wanted. Ran across bbmartini's config and modded it a little to fit my theme better. Anyways, here it is.

maverick777: very nice - almost enough to make me want to upgrade to vista too!

 

[leokennis]

As always tweaking to the extreme

First the default layout:


And extra info, first and last 30 seconds of a track:

 

[RasmusseN]

Need to change a few things but as far as the layout I am satisfied.
