Hi Yuri,

I've been an avid (rabid?) TrueLaunchBar supporter since 2004, and have also been a fan of MediaMonkey since around then. I noticed your skin for iTunes with ratings support, and I wondered whether this could be implemented for other media players (in particular, MediaMonkey!).

In other words, the Media Control Plugin would need to have support added for (1) reading and displaying the current rating, and (2) setting a new rating based on user input.

It would also be great if the user could assign a hotkey to the ratings feature. e.g. Win+1 = 1 star, Win+2 = 2 stars, and so on...

I am constantly listening to, and rating, music -- so this would be a very powerful feature for me. I've put together and attached a mock-up screnshot showing how such a feature might look (using the WMP11 Compact skin for Media Control).

FYI, there is a minor typo in the tooltip for Media Control in English language (i.e. displays upon hover) -- "Chanels" should be "Channels".

Thanks for listening, and thanks for making such a great product!

Kind regards,

G

PS, if the ratings functionality is implemented, it would be useful to display the current rating in the tooltip for Media Control. Smile

It is translated by means of "PromtX".

Can not absolutely on a theme...

My two new skins... Not absolutely mine... Can and not absolutely new.
"WMP11 Panel Morfed+" - Tried to arrange elements of management most compactly,
Concerning height skins (37 pixels). Here, can, a unique minus, the name
Track partially is behind button "Play/Pause".
This skin perfectly joins a background of the panel (see rice).

"WMP11 Panel Morfed" - This ñêèí has not so liked me, can to you to whom
It is pleasant...

I like appearance Windows Vista... Therefore it is not necessary to be surprised
To my hobby to do skins in its style...
***
By the way I support the author of the first message (Q Section)... It would Be quite good, if the plug-in as well worked and with MediaMonkey as well as with other players.

I am sorry... I had in view of gpritchard.

Skins, unfortunately, any change in functionality of a plug-in do not add...
Here only 2 new skins, can to whom will like...
And my message: "By the way I support the author of the first message (gpritchard)... It would Be quite good, if the plug-in as well worked and with MediaMonkey as well as with other players." only speaks that I support gpritchard in this idea (to add an opportunity of an estimation of mediafiles from the panel)...
I use only player MediaMonkey and it is a pity to me, that the plug-in supports not all functions of a player...

It was quite good to add to plug-in Media Control/MediaMonkey still an opportunity of inclusion/deenergizing of function Continuous Playback and Shuffle tracks, also closing of the program from the panel.
