Вопросы / Questions / Where are the ratings located, how to backup them, or/an move them to file tags?

« on: January 27, 2021, 23:21:58 »

Where are the ratings located, exact location, file?

How to backup them?

Is it possible to move ratings to file tags - ID3 tags? Currently I have the "user rating" in Basic file tab and "rating" is 0.00, this rating is also in IDTv2 tag.

I'd like to auto synchronize "user rating" and ID3v2 "rating", so that if I rate a new song, it will be saved to both.

Alternatively, is there an option to batch synchronize ratings - copy (and replace) from "user rating" to "ID3v2 rating"?

Thanks in advance.

Предложения / Suggestions / "Search as you type" - search anywhere

« on: January 19, 2021, 20:18:49 »

I found this option - "Search as you type", it's a good option, faster than Quick search, but it work only from 1st file name letter, so if the file names are like "01 - song name", it's impossible to search, or if the names are "Artist - Title", it's not possible to find the title this way.

My suggestion is:

- Search anywhere within the file name (always or as option).

Предложения / Suggestions / Bliss 4K skin - Playlist toggle button

« on: June 09, 2020, 18:01:37 »

I couldn't find the playlist button, there is no way to toggle playlist with a single click, probably all skins have this button, could you add it also to Bliss 4K, please?

Предложения / Suggestions / Playlist button to "maximize height only"

« on: June 09, 2020, 18:00:31 »

This suggestion could be for any skin, or at least for Bliss 4K skin only.

Usually I just want to switch between small AIMP window with small playlist height and large playlist height, or maximized height only. I mean use maximum height, as desktop height, but preserve the window width. Currently I often resize the playlist manually.

Possible solutions (any of these would help):

- Add the new button "Maximize window/playlist height only" - to main window (next to standard maximize), or to Playlist title, next to tabs.
- Add option to use the Maximize button (of any playlist) to maximize height only.
- Add option to right click existing maximize button to maximize height only (for any skin, if possible).

For any of these solutions it's important to restore window height to previous size, so it would switch between small/saved height size and maximized height size.

Perhaps even layout toggle button, to switch between 2 different window sizes, small main window with or without playlist - and large main window and playlist window (different width and height). I don't need to maximize window, never, I just need to quickly switch between small and large window mode.

Thank you.

Пользовательский интерфейс / UI / Option to switch mouse wheel direction for seek bar

« on: December 01, 2019, 18:04:02 »

For me it's intuitive to seek forward with wheel down and seek backward with wheel up, also in web browsers and text editors wheel down scrolls forward, to next lines, not to previous - the same in AIMP playlist, wheel down scrolls down, to the next songs, but currently it works vice versa in AIMP - seek bar.

Please add option to switch mouse wheel for seek only, to seek backward with wheel up and seek forward with wheel down - but for volume it should be preserved - minus = wheel down, plus = wheel up.

Perhaps the option also to switch wheel for volume would be useful, but it's not needed for me, current behavior is intuitive.

Thanks.

EDIT: I just want to say, that it's just an option, even if it would be implemented, you could still choose the wheel direction.

Предложения / Suggestions / Custom presets with different options

« on: November 15, 2019, 19:40:32 »

Some programs have this option - custom presets with different options.

I'd like to use different options for different purposes and switch them easily, with a keyboard shortcut, menu item...

Currently I have to change all these options manually in Settings window and it's not easy, since I need to switch it often.

Here are the examples for 2 presets:

1) Speakers 5.1
- enable Allow channels mixing - Stereo -> 5.1 Surround
- playback option - parameters - 5.1 Surround
- Volume - set to 60%

2) Headphones
- disable Allow channels mixing - Stereo -> 5.1 Surround
- playback option - parameters - Stereo
- Volume - set to 90%

Alternative is to use the command line options / parameters for these options, or/and for presets activation.

Workaround I'm thinking about is to use 2 separate portable folders / "installations", just use few different settings, is it possible to use AIMP this way? 2 folders, 2 icons...?

Предложения / Suggestions / Auto remove / disable played file from playlist

« on: November 15, 2019, 18:31:05 »

I suggest 2 options:

- Auto remove played file from playlist
- Auto disable played file from playlist

Just remove (or disable) played file automatically. It would be useful if we want to listen an album just one time and it would be very useful also to prevent the problems when using a Shuffle option, with this option no file would be played twice, or even more times!

Remove / disable file if it was played fully only, or if it was played to the end - not if the next file button/hotkey was used.

Thanks.

Предложения / Suggestions / Audio converter suggestions

« on: November 15, 2019, 18:12:42 »

Please confider these suggestions for audio converter:

1) Add %tntd (track number two digits, always, e.g. 01, 02 instead of 1, 2)

2) "Remove source file after successful conversation" is a bit misleading, "remove" is often used just to remove item from list, I suggest to use "delete" if the item is removed from disk.

3) Add item "Remove items from list after successful conversation" - so it will be easy to add the new files, now I have to remove items first, so I can see the new items.

4) Warn before conversion in some situations:
- when converting file to same bitrate (e.g. 320 vs 320 kbps)
- when converting file to higher bitrate (e.g. 128 to 320 kbps, or to FLAC)

Thanks.

Предложения / Suggestions / Quick search improvements

« on: October 28, 2019, 18:59:37 »

Windows 10 has a very useful feature: press Win key, start typing, press Enter key - program/item is opened!

It's very fast, I can start a calculator for example just like this: Win+cal+Enter - try it!

My suggestion is to add something similar to AIMP, it has a feature Quick search already, there's an issue (reported here), anyway, once it will be fixed/changed, it could be working like this:

- use a global hotkey to activate AIMP and focus Quick search field
- start typing a song name
- press Enter to start playing first song found

Currently when I type a song name and press Enter, nothing happened, filter is working even without Enter, so it has no function, so why not just start playing first song?

This way it could be working like the Windows feature above: Ctrl+Shift+Q+type song name+Enter=play!

Another suggestion, quick search / filter is always active, even after AIMP restart and with the skin I'm using it's not possible to easily deactivate it with mouse, I have to select a text with mouse and press Del key, so my suggestion is to add option:

Deactivate quick search on:
[v] AIMP exit
[v] Tab change
[ ] Next song start playing

Thanks.

Предложения / Suggestions / AIMP version text selectable / copy button

« on: October 28, 2019, 17:51:38 »

When reporting bugs, it's useful to add the version user is using, so perhaps it would be useful if the text in About dialog or/and Options > Update checker would be selectable, so user could select and copy the version text - or even better, add a button to copy version text to clipboard. 

Thanks - and of course, it's not very important.

Предложения / Suggestions / Release file while playing

« on: October 19, 2019, 12:57:11 »

This feature would be very useful for me. Just release the file while playing, so that user can move it or delete it.

Currently, if I want to play the file and then delete it or move it in the file manager, I have to switch to AIMP and stop it first, every time - if not there's an annoying error dialog, so I have to close dialog, stop file in AIMP and then switch to file manager and delete it.

I'm using cache size 20 MB, so the file could be playing even if deleted, I think Winamp has such option.

Anyway, video player PotPlayer has this option even for 20GB files, it's possible to move them or delete them (to recycle bin) while it's still playing, it's very useful and I really miss this feature in AIMP.

Thank You in advance.

Предложения / Suggestions / Reload playlist easier

« on: April 28, 2019, 07:48:53 »

I couldn't find the option to refresh smart playlist, finally I found it as "Reload data from preimage", it was not easy to find and I had no hotkey for this option either.

I think it should be easier to refresh smart playlist for changes, the option is missing in the standard context menu in playlist, in tab title context menu (right click menu).

Consider to add this option there and also add default hotkey, F5 or Ctrl+R, if it's free.

Предложения / Suggestions / Queue toggle keyboard shortcut / middle mouse button click

« on: April 21, 2019, 01:36:51 »

Middle click to add the file to queue is useful and fast, but when I click it twice (by mistake), the same file is added multiple times and removing file from queue is not so easy.

I suggest to make the middle mouse button click the toggle button, also the Queue keyboard shortcut, so when 1 file is selected and I middle click once, the file will be added to queue, when I middle click again, remove the file from queue.

Alternatively, option to prevent adding the same file multiple times would be helpful and would solve this problem too.

Предложения / Suggestions / Additional seek option

« on: April 20, 2019, 18:16:47 »

Video players has even 3 seek options, for left/right, Ctrl+left/right, Shift+left/right, it's quite useful and I think it would be useful also for audio player.

Could you add additional seek option, so we could use left/right to seek 5 sec., and with another custom shortcuts, Ctrl+left/right, add another custom value, to seek 30 sec, or 60 sec...?

I found, that similar option is already implemented, for playlist scroll, normal scroll, alt, ctrl, so something like that for seek, but please allow to use a custom shortcut.

Thanks.

Предложения / Suggestions / Do not delete tab/playlist if the last file is deleted

« on: April 20, 2019, 18:04:23 »

This is mainly for the Default playlist, when I move the files, Default playlist has one or more files which can't be played, so I delete them, but after the next AIMP start Default playlist is missing too, when I play another file, it's create, but the position is changed, so I have to manually fix it, this is quite annoying.

Could you add option to maintain the tabs even if it's empty, please? At least for Default playlist.

Thanks.
