Holidays

Sometimes i start something and before i finish , i m starting something else and never go back.
This happened at least 10 times during the development of the next version of TS. First it was the new DShow Player Engine. Well I said it need lots of debugging on different systems - leave it. Then it was the AudioCD Support (CDDB). I was at about 70% until i accidentally found a serious bug in collections Auto-Update. I start fixing it and then i said why don' t i support USB Flash memory, iPod mp3 players etc. While doing this i realized that i could have a much better notification system for the user. So i re-engineer some code and then i ve found that i could optimize it a lot .. if i make some more changes... and so on...
Now i m with a non working version with lots of new features under development (not the ones of course that i had in mind)
Anyway i m leaving this mess. I wont touch a keyboard for the next 10 days...its holidays time
Have fun

CD Audio - CDDB - FreeDB Support

For the people who want to organize their AudioCD collection in Teen Spirit i have to say that this feature is on the way. I found some sample code elsewhere for this (MFCCDDB) but this code was so inefficient that i had to rewrite the whole thing

Multimedia HotKeys

While i was buying something in media markt i saw a "multimedia keyboard" called "PLEOMAX". I remember a guy once told me to support such a thing so i said "what the hek? Lets take it".
So in the next TS version Play/Pause - Stop - Next - Prev multimedia keys will be working (optionally) with TS
