SLAG 1.2 description
The name SLAG stands for Simple Little Audio Gadget. SLAG was developed to be a free music-playing sidebar gadget that uses the Windows Media Player database.
It's small and compact, but when you click the album cover image (or visualization), a flyout displays additional details about the current track. In addition, there's a link to the track's folder, and a link to search the Web for the artist. It also features a customizable text display, and a mouse wheel activated volume control. Choose from a light or a dark color scheme.
· Plays random tracks from your Windows Media Player database. You can "play all," or select a pre-defined playlist.
· Small, compact, and no-frills -- but not too ugly.
· Display album art, with cool transitions. Or, display animated visualizations. Click the red dot in the lower right corner to toggle.
· Specify the text to display at the top: The artist, the title, the album, the playlist -- or whatever text you prefer.
· Click the album cover (or visualization), and the gadget expands in size to display details about the current track.
· The details panel includes a link to open the directory that contains the current track.
· The details panel also includes a link to search Google for the current artist.
· Two color schemes! Choose dark or light.
· Adjust the volume with your mouse wheel.
· Drag a music file into the gadget to play it instantly.
Requirements:
· Windows Media Player
What's New in This Release:
· Bug fix. When non-library files are dragged into the gadget, the artist name might have been missing. Not any more.
· Fixed display problems when using the "large font" option in Windows.
· The progress bar is now clickable, so you can change the position of the current track (e.g., skip the middle).
· In the details panel, I added an option to search for the artist using Bing (in addition to Google).
· Lengthy text at the top is no longer rudely cut off. It now appears with an ellipsis at the end.
· Added a small meter display for the volume, instead of a number.
· Made some new buttons for the player controls.
