    dBpowerAMP Audio Player R2 Beta 5

    The next installment of this fantastic player (I am in a happy mood, so can use words like fantastic ). This beta adds many new features to My Music Collection - option to re-order columns and remove columns, faster track list drawing and a cool option to play an Album.

    Ladies and gentlemen -- SPOON IS DA MAN!

    The new features look great. Love the display speed-up in MMC, and column sorting and configuration is a joy.

    One minor issue with column sorting: if you change the order of columns, sorting doesn't work. For instance, change "Album" from column 7 to column 2. Initial display is correct, but then click the column header a few times to sort it up and down, and notice that sort is wrong. As I said, minor.

    Everything else looking great!

    What about being able to remove columns by right-clicking on them and selecting a remove option? Also, how about clicking and dragging the columns to where they are wanted? This seems more logical then navigating menus and typing in numbers. Spoon is da man though!

    Improvement suggestions To MMC & DAP

    Minor ones but would be handy :

    for MMC in Selective Play :
    - add a filter : "max track length" effectively
    excluding all track longer than the given
    number of minutes (handy when one has
    mixes and very long tracks on it's collection)

    for DAP :
    a couple of timer options :

    - Start playing at nn:nn (the time at which DAP starts playing)

    - stop playing after nn:nn (the time at which DAP stops playing)
    OR
    - play for nn hours nn minutes (for how long will DAP play tracks
    once started)

    Thinking of it, that could even be given as couples
    Start time/ Stop time lists That DAP would parse
    during a 24 h period and autostart start /stop playing
    at specified times... (provided that its open)

    Also a color picker for the various texts/backgrounds in MMC
    would be nice (or else commented colors.txt, so you know
    which RGB values changes what )
