#rloop off
on *:MP3END:{
/did -ck mp3 1 $calc($did(1).sel - 1)
/splay $did(1).seltext
}
#rloop end

does anybody know whats wrong with this.?
does the dialog have to be the active window to use /did -ck or does it just have to be open?
thanx in advance

No, but you need to provide the dialog name $did(dialog,ID)

ok thanx

works cheers

thanx to you ive completed my mp3 player

eww... awkward.. gotta stick with the classical look. >:D

that looks pretty good .. is that yours ?

I like it cold, but how you load a file? you click a button? I would be irritated doing that for every song I wanted to play. You may have a random and repeat, im not sure--but looking for a file to play in a sfile is too much work for me >:D

that's pretty good too .. I can do dialog, but mine usually ends up looking like a cluddered up piece of crap lol.

Edit: but functional

lol--
Thats why we have dialog studio >:D

me too .. now lol

the play button lets you play a specific file ($sfile) and the >> button plays a random one. The push button you see under the big time is for continuous play, so you dont have to hit anything :>

Ehh, I prefer having it all right in front of my. I do asdmire the size, and (non-bulky-ness)?

Or you can just write part of the mp3 you want such as "trans" for transplants and it automatically finds and play it.

Winamp is just so much better than any MP3 player you could "build" within mIRC, and with the number of Winamp DLL's out there that allow you to control winamp, why bother making a dialog based MP3 player!?

You have the satisfaction to say that YOU made it yourself, and you are not using someone else's work. Have you ever modified a car? or modified your desktop/Windows appearance? painted your room?

It's the same thing, you can just say "Hey, i did that". And - i speak for myself here - it was a more a challenge than anything else. I was used to winamp when i decided to code my first mp3 player, and it had a lot of the features Winamp has, and some that it didn't have. You just make it the way YOU want, not the way a bunch of coders you never heard of wanted.

But if you were modifying a car, would you (literally) reinvent the wheel just to say you made the car from scratch? Or would you concede that the professional tire making companies most likely know how to make a wheel better than you can?

Of course you use the wheel. You use the wheel because you have no (or very little) choice. It's comparable to miRC coding, you use a already invented language, already established commands, events and identifiers and even maybe DLLs but yet the final product is unique, and you made it by yourself.

Using the wheel is not the same as using the already existing language. That would be equivilent to saying "I'm not going to make my own drill, hammer, etc" when you use the tires, you are using someone elses end product. My point is, if someone has already done something better than you can, why waste your time? In the end, you will only wind up making an inferior product. Me, I'd rather save my time and have the superior product.
