TigerJimmy old hand Registered: 15/02/2002 Posts: 1049	Hi everyone, Anybody know of a Windows mp3 player that has something like the Now and Next functionality when shuffling? Can this kind of thing be done in a Winamp plugin? I know nothing about Winamp plug ins. Looking for something better than Winamp, idally with this functionality. Thanks in advance, Jim

Is that all you want? That's built-in to Winamp. Just hit its playlist button and another window will appear showing the current playlist. If instead, you mean that you want the empeg's tweak order features, that's a different question. I dunno. _________________________ Tony Fabris

In the original Winamp, you could select the playlist menu and choose Shuffle Playlist, this would shuffle the playlist, then you could begin listening from the beginning of the shuffled playlist. It looks like in the new Winamp there is a Sort-Randomize list in the playlist view. _________________________ Mark Cushman

bonzi pooh-bah Registered: 13/09/1999 Posts: 2401 Loc: Croatia	I use Winamp's library's 'randomize playlist' feature for that (build a temporary playorder from either a search expression, manually or a combination thereof, import it in an ampty playlist (in library), randomise it, play it with 'classic' playlist window serving as 'now&next' display) _________________________ Dragi "Bonzi" Raos Q#5196 MkII #080000376, 18GB green MkIIa #040103247, 60GB blue

TigerJimmy old hand Registered: 15/02/2002 Posts: 1049	Holy crap. This is a 20.8MB download. Have they been hiring Microsoft programmers? iTunes for Windows. Besides this particular functionality, what's everyone's opinion? Jim

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	20.8 MB is for iTunes (including CD burner support, the API to make the app look like the OS X version, Airport Express streaming, and music ripping functionality), iPod syncing support, and Quicktime. 19.3 mb is what the Rio software download is these days to do similar, except the 19.8mb download doesn't include drivers for the Karma, nor the Rio Taxi program.

Try downloading Quicktime without also having to download iTunes now... you can't (or at least I couldn't figure out how). Then it didn't even integrate with Firefox correctly. _________________________ Brad B.

SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	I tried that, but the download didn't automagically start. It mentions clicking "this" url if the download doesn't start automatically, but there is no url there. I havn't tried in Internet Explorer, but maybe their site doesn't work too well with Firefox or there is an issue w. my Firefox install. Thanks though. I wasn't aware of the "self installer". _________________________ Brad B.
