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.
