I have these on my TODO. Don't know in what order I'll process them

 

- Sort albums by year
- Adjustable transparency
- Export of ratings
- Resizable columns
- Improve queuing
- Improving now playing screen
- better positioning of tray controls

How are you adjusting transparency?

All files. 90% of my music is mp3 and none of the ratings imported.

Which program was used to rate them?

Could you send me 1 of the files?

Now Playing looks a little... dull.

 

What you you think of doing this?...

 

 

Also, the VU meter is really stuttering at the moment.

That's nice. I'll try it out (depends a bit on performance after doing this).

Since when is the spectrum stuttering? Also after restarting Dopamine?

I've missed a few builds, so not sure when the stuttering started. It doesn't look 100% responsive to begin with, even after restarting the whole pc, but when I switch to Now Playing, it really starts to chug.

 

Glad you like the background image idea. I wonder if having it slowly zooming in would be possible/a good idea, maybe even a photo slide show type thing, if you happen to have other album artwork in the folder where the current track is located.

You could try changing the latency back to 100 ms in the options. I increased it to 150 ms by default because I had some complaints about sound clipping. The higher the latency, the slower the spectrum responds.

Didn't even know that was a thing. I'll check it out. Thanks.

 

Edit: It was already on 100 ms. Problem persists on everything from 50 to 500 ms

I uninstalled dopamine and reinstalled it. It appears to be working now.

Well I have a crappy computer, and it works here too. What I find strange is that is lags only on the now playing screen...

My puter is also kinda super

 

I thought it might have been another app (Adguard) interfering, as the service for it kept using 30% CPU, but I have sorted that now, and the problem is still there.

 

Edit: Just uninstalled and reinstalled Dopamine, but still no joy. My Library didn't need rebuilding, so I take it there is a way to uninstall it even more completely. What folders should I delete, if any?

I just tried mine again, resizing the now playing window and all is working fine, I even put on some drum only stuff and its updating instantly...

 

Dopamine also uses your appdata folder...  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine  make sure this is gone if you uninstall .. this is where I believe the database is kept.

 

Try uninstalling, removing the above folder, reinstall the latest version and see what happens... I hope it fixes it for you...

Hmm, no idea what's causing this. I've never seen it happen before. I'll keep an eye on it.

Is it on Windows 10? If yes, which version?

This app is getting so good. I have't touch ZMKP since I install it. Each update is awesome.

I hope you can find a way to port it to phone and Tablet. Crape even XB1

That's completely right. To uninstall completely, uninstall it from add/remove programs, and delete the folder mentioned above.

Deleting the Dopamine folder did the trick. Nice and responsive now.

I'm guessing you didn't keep a copy of that folder somewhere?

Nope, sorry. I don't have file history turned on either.

I still want to find how how to stop Windows from highlighting the currently active app in the taskbar.

Not the end of the world though.
