Wishlist / Feature Requests / Two little requests from someone using winamp for 20+ years
« on: October 02, 2023, 03:40:38 PM »
Hi there,
I have been using winamp for 20+ years, and for most of the time used them to play music as a bartender as well.
I have two little requests:
1)
I've always felt the need for a 'play this one next' as a contect menu item either during shuffle or non-shuffle playing.
What I mean by this is, as a bartender, I often had people put in requests for a song, but I didn't want to break whatever playlist I was playing just for one song.
(I'm anal like that, I need to have total control over the music I'm playing; no autotune at my bar baby)
So I just want to select the file from my drive (I don't use the winamp library), right click on it, and select 'Play this one next', to have it slip into the playlist as the next song, and afterwards it will just continue doing whatever playlist it was doing.
This would make it an absolute minimal fuss to have requests at my bar, even when it is rather crowded (a sort of 'fire&forget' option would be best).
2)
The second request would be to have an option to have shuffle totally rule out songs it already played during the session.
Maybe the shuffle doesn't suck in Wacup (haven't tried it yet) but in the latest winamp's it's pathetic: A have lists with a thousand files in it and I end up hearing 4 songs being played 2-3 times in a period of 3-4 hours (it's often my background music during gaming). The shuffle is so bad it's downright annoying.
Hope this gets picked up by someone. If you can't fix the non-randomness of the shuffle at least have it discount songs already played; it would make a decent workaround.
