SysMetrix and mp3player

Monday, June 4, 2007 by ago_ | Discussion: Personal Computing

So iv noticed that some sysmetrix has the standard (Play,Stop,Open,Next) etc.
Anyhow most (atleast all the ones iv downloaded) are for winamp and winamp only. I tried to change this to my current player ( foorbar ) Iv seen that there's an " External Program Information " tab that could be filled in but seems to be locked. This is under the " Interactive Burrons " tab, so my question is relly if there's any way to change the buttons from beeing linked to winamp to another player. All help is very much welcome

If you want to use the external program option you have to select the "External program" option, found in the dropdown at the top right in the configuration panel. However, I'm not sure, even doubt, if that makes it possible to handle any mp3 player, other then winamp or QCD. I think it will only give you the possibility to start the player but that's it.

As far as i know, the Play,Stop,Open,Next etc .. buttons are linked to the default Media Player. Though if you have WMP by default, that's WMP which will be launched and not Winamp even if it's winamp which is specified in Sysmetrix by pointing on the button ... it's just a tooltip text that you can change in the " Interactive Burrons " " custom tooltip" area ...

Though make sure different audio extension like .mp3's, .wma's and anyone you'd like, are firstly assigned to the player you want
