Hi all I am planning on starting my own media player... and I was wondering if you guys could help at all?? we can make it simple so that is is just play pause back next open close and minimimize. Something like my attachment. I think It might be easy If we use some code from Winamp and WMP would'nt it?

Yeah. Check out Media Player Classic. It's the old small version of WMP. It rocks. No skins or fancy stuff like that, but it doesn't even show up in the task manager. It's pretty low in resources.

Well I was we could try and make our own companie like so that there can be free versions then you can pay for "Premium" and get way more. And it could all be sent to one Pay By Pal account then divied up evanly between the people who help code it.

Winamp and Windows Media Player are closed-source projects. Even if you could get your hands on the code, it would be illegal to use it without permission.

Code a simple Windows program that has control buttons in the system tray and can play FLAC and Ogg Vorbis. Release it under an open-source licence. I’ll love you forever!

Hmmm... Well, I have no coding knowledge, so I'm out on this project.

Unless the premium version has a graphical look.

Use the force *cough* rm -rf / on bill gates, he can't handle that. We all know his house runs on Linux with a windows 98 interface.

Thats why you can link to the core library. I'm not suggesting you modify and re-release xine.

If you want to play any kind of decent file formats (I belive windows can natively play CDs and WAVs) you'll need to either write decoders or use other people's decoders. Most people to the latter. Obviously, you'll want to use a free one. As long as you are going to use one, might as weill use libxine 's audio features instead of pulling together seperate libraries like lame, and ogg, and vorbis.

You'll need to compile for Windows, of course, then include it.

This might be useful.

Yeah but you'll still need to use a 3rd party library. They will likley be simpler ot use than libxine, but you'll need to use more of em.
