Hi Bruce,
I started working on this app several weeks ago--before the GWAudioKit came out.
At that time, I was only able to play .wav files and I was looking for ways to play additional file types.

I was glad to see your program to play additional file types, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
Keep in mind that your programming skills are far beyond mine. I have a little background programing in Basic on the Apple II e years ago. Since that time, I have been trying to learn all I can about VBScript--I still consider myself a student. I enjoy the work that I've done with Window-Eyes apps, but I doubt that my apps will be the profound ones that will make a lot of difference in making things accessible which aren't at present.

Hi Jeff,

I sent you and other my python app that almost does the same thing but only did the simple queue without drawing from a list.

Besides that app, if it runs I am going to compile it as a com object to be allowed to run inside the WE apps and be used on the global object list as this one is run.

Maybe it will only play MP3, OGG and WAV, but it is all about learning. My attempt is to bind the Python library into WE usage and if it works, then a lot more powerful stuff can also be run.

At this point I will mention a comment made weeks ago, about selling the apps. An interesting comment, which was asked when Mike was on the Chip Orange tutorial Sunday night. I did not ask the question, but it has become an interesting discussion by some, saying, "We do the work and another person sells it..."

When I get my 7.5 computer back, and probably purchase a second, I will keep on developing in hopes of comments as I have mentioned don't poison the atmosphere...

Sincerely
Bruce

Subject: new Music Menu app


I have just posted a new app called
MusicMenu
This app will play files from a list and it uses the new GWAudioKit to play several file types.
If the GWAudioKit is not installed, the app will still work, but it will only play .wav files, and some functions will not be available.
The help text follows:

Press Alt-Shift-M to play music files.
Select a file from the list and press play to hear the file.
Press next to hear the next selection.
Pres previous to hear the previous selection.
Press pause_resume to stop and resume a selection.
Press repeat_song to keep playing the same song repeatedly.
Press stop to stop a file or just select another file and press play.
Press close to close the app. If A song is playing when you close the app, it will continue to play.
Press help to go to the standard help dialog.
Press up arrow and down arrow on the volume control.
The volume can be adjusted from 1 to 10--the default is 5.
The new volume will take effect any time a song starts playing--using play, next, previous, or pause_resume.

The short-cuts for the options are listed below:
Play--enter
Next--n
Previous--p
Pause_Resume--a
Repeat_Song--r
Stop--s
Close--escape
Help--h
Volume--v
All of the music files that you want included in the list
must be in a subfolder of the folder where the MusicMenu app resides.
The subfolder which is created is called "MusicMenu"
This app requires the GWAudioKit to be fully functional.
If the GWAudioKit is not installed, the app will still work;
however, only .wav files will be played.
Also, pause_resume, repeat_song, and volume will not be available!

note: when using previous or next, the keys must be pressed twice in a row to get things started--then continuing in the same direction will work as expected.

Jeff Weiss
