BZR Player - a new music player for Win

[TCD]

I thought about some name and searched on Google if they were quite unique. To no surprise most of them ween't I came up with one which just produced 10 results and no real hit. It doesn't cover the lots of formats aspect, but I throw it in the discussion anyway :
ModJuggler

[bLAZER]

Thanks for the suggestion.. although I rather not have a specific format in the title, people may think it only can play that format then... like modplug.. maybe

Audio Juggler (4,630 hits)
Music Juggler (672 hits)

[TCD]

VintageMusicJuggler (0 hits)
VMJ - How about that?

[bLAZER]

Meh... too long... another idea is to just come up with a unique word that doesn't mean anything... like

Flastorus
Zoderoid
Xylorizer

[frsoldier]

juitdec

(...just it decode)

[lilalurl]

Yeolplayer

You could also use multiblazer (reference to yourself + blazer and player have only two different letters)

[killergorilla]

SUPERMAGiCMUSICSOUNDER!

bLAZER pLAYER.

Sorry.

[bLAZER]

I might actually go with Blazer Player or BZR Player...

Good development hope 1 day there is a player that will play all amiga-formats ever. and better that all formats can be converted to MOD files.

I work with Renoise lately (Tracker for PC with VSTi support etc and ASIO). and i love making remixes and putting them on amigaremix.com

For example a want to remix the Dogs of War theme (Elite games / David whittaker format) but i cannot convert it to MOD

Tried Prowiz / Perverter and Noiseconverter in my WinUAE but no luck, seems like a really custom coded format. so im stuck, only thing i can do is to re-create everything by hand.

We had a thread about converting the David Whittaker format to something like ProTracker recently and it seems that it is impossible . Have a look here : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=38769

@bLAZER & Graham

No really, sounds good for me.

[Graham Humphrey]

Wow, I only said it as a joke too... fantastic

Ok, I've changed the name to BZR Player

And a new Version: 0.75

New features:

• Changed name to BZR Player due to Multiplayer was impossible to find in search engines
• Lots of settings for most of the sound players (require stop/play current sound for effect)
• Option to only allow one program instance. Another option to add-to-playlist or play a double clicked file in explorer if only one instance is allowed.
• Support for titles in M3U playlists
• Support for titles in PLS playlists
• Mouseover images for all buttons

Bug fixes:

• Dragging the progress slider to the beginning didn't work
• Two small memory leaks

Download BZR Player 0.75 here

And could a mod please change the name in the thread title?

[TCD]

Nice work bLAZER
I like the new GUI and the settings for the players (even if I found no reason to change the defaults yet )

I'm currently on the lookout for something that might be a 'one does all (or many!)' player for game music and remembered this thread. BZR Player is downloading as I type this and I look forward to using it.

Thank you, Andreas.

[bLAZER]

Hope it works well... and if it doesn't you know where to complain

It works in Delitracker & in Eagle Player (both on Amiga/WinUAE) but AFAIR no sources have been made public. If they were, we would probably have to convert them from 68k to C/whatever.
So no native PC proggy is able to play this format right now. Your player is the most active and would be a good candidate...

I can ask Wanted Team for their Eagle Player RJP module.
