Download here

Yeah, it is here. It is not done yet, but hopefully it is functional enough to be used.

I won't say what's new, you have to find that out yourself.

Enjoy!

yeah, the translations are pretty much out of date... and stuff... preview 3 should have a more up-to-date sample.al to work with...

I got a feature request for albumlist.
Could you implement a function to sort in levels, so that the first degree is to sort everything by artist, and then all albums of one artist sort by another variable (like, year), and so on?

I am using Albumlist for years now, and I think it rocks. Keep up the good work!

I used to love albumlist with wa2, but i find that with wa5, its someone in excess of the built in library.

How about an option to have some way to have albumlist show content out of the media library where available, or from disk, or both?

[electricmime]

hmm, i stopped using albumlist when i got crack1ty's quick tracks plugin...

while i doubt it was its original purpose, you can put it in the 'play' or the 'main' or the title(for winshade mode) menus...

and it can run off the data from whats in your playlist or ml.. plus it even has an internal queue(though its a different queue than jtfe, but its the same though) and you can enqueue/play total albums, in order, without screwing up your playlist at all..

plus you dont need to open up a whole nother window.. just open whatever menu you put it in..

"what does this offer over media Library?"

I think it's mostly preference. I personally prefer to use this or Dynamic Library over the built-in Media Library, myself...

[Safai]

what's to come next...

[siebe83]

very nice!

[electricmime]

looks cool, though itd be nice for a hotkey to open the window

also.. if it could use an internal queue(like jtfe)
