Title: MP3 player / radio
Post by: x0847Marine on August 23, 2005, 07:08:22 PM
Listening to tunes while zooming around is cool, not suggesting anything wazoo.. just a simple player thats optional so folks who like the engine noise  are pleased as punch.

I run QCD (http://quinnware.com/) with no big performance hit, but a built in player sounds like a quick and easy feature a few might appreciate, maybe.

Here it is Azul...

Enjoy:P (http://quinnware.com/)

I'm not sure about performance hit though. I'm computer illiterate, I just tried it and it worked great. I had musicmatch jukebox which didn't work at all. With the above player, I've had no frame rate hits:)

If you're worried about resources, find an old copy of WinAmp.

Sandman, your avatar scares small children.

The nice thing about an inflight player is the ability to pause it if you get in a fight.

The nice thing about my setup is my I can control my player with my keyboard while still in AH. So basically it's like an ingame player. If I want to pause, I hit pause on keyboard and it pauses:D

I have a keyboard like that, but I've never done much in the ways of figuring out how to get it to work on a different computer.

If you know how, please share. :D

Mine was as simple as installing the software(logitech) that came with it. After that I just open my player, then the game and it works fine. I think the main thing is installing the software. The only time it doesn't work is if I have 2 programs that use play, pause, etc. Then, only the program on top will work.

Resource-wise, it uses ~13MB of RAM, about the same as WinMedia Player, but a little bit less.

Well, mine came with a prebuilt Compaq; the don't give any software disks out. Was hoping to find drivers, but that's a really broad search.

All I do is plug my xm radio into my aux port and I can listen to whatever music I want (mostly 40's music while in AH) on and offline.

From what I know, all sound cards have this port... most only allow you record from one at a time tho, but you won't need to record anything but the mic for use with vox.

Why not use your own personal mp3 players?

edit: This method uses alot less resources than winamp or an AH based mp3 player would ever use as well.

After reading this I picked up a $5 keyboard at Big Lots, it has all those wazoo buttons I've always ignored... but damm if the play buttons don't work out freaking fantastic with AH.

No more Ctrl+esc to mess with whats playing, play, stop, vol, next... all that 'fece'.

Good call, I'll buy you a beer unless you're one of those dudes I wanna smack... heh
