I create DVD's and one feature I really miss in the viewer pane when browsing 100's of MP3's is the chance to jump from start to centre-to end of each piece, as it is playing--instantly ( as in the edit pane used in Xplorer2 for example and others) this helps me tremendously with choosing the exact music I need.
Is there any way to add a moving display/progress play bar that is clickable? Alternatively, can I use a different "mode" within the Viewer pane, or is the only alternative to go outside of Dopus and use a 3rd party application?
I wasn't recently aware that some plugin PLAYS the mp3 file in the "viewpane"... is this the case? What plugin is "playing" the fMP3 file?
You could instead run the Play command against the selected mp3 file which launches the internal mp3/wav player, and has a progress bar. You can also set the 'activeX' plugin to handle mp3 files - wihch on my system opens a Windows Media Player instance inside the viewpane and "plays" the mp3 file - and provides the normal scroll bar to position to a certain part in the file...?
Thanks for those comments--I was not aware of the player for wav's--will look into it. Re Media player, I don't have windows Media Player installed at all ( maybe remains of version 2 or something) being in Europe it is not defaulted at install time. Thanks for advice anyway.
I tried your advice--but for my Dopus it didn't work at all( i.e. if I "play" an MP3 file it opens my default media player--in this case Jet Audio)
-- what I really want is the Viewer pane built-in to Dopus, for MP3's to look pretty much like it does for divX movies and avi's--and like 10,000 other file managers viewers all do--i.e. a moving, MOVEABLE "progress bar" whilst the MP3 is actually playing. My current Viewer Pane only offers start and stop the entire MP3.
You need to install Media Player. That is what Opus uses to play MP3 files in the viewer pane. It will give you a movable progress bar.
Opus's Play command also depends on Media Player's components to play MP3 files.
