This is definitely cool. And all this time I thought AutoIt had remained an automation language.
You used nothing else aside from the AutoIt programming language to create this?
It has a very small footprint and I love the fade effect. A few things I noticed after messing with it for a couple seconds is:
1. No notification whether or not "loop" is on or off.
2. No notification whether or not "random" is on or off.
3. When there is no media loaded, play does not prompt for a file. This is a common practice of other audio players.
4. When there is no media loaded, hitting stop makes "Stopped" appear at the top. Not technically true if there was no media loaded in the first place to stop. ;)
5. The scrolling of the title seems to "jerk" into view each new word, rather than scroll letter by letter. No biggie, just caught me off guard at first.
6. There is no six, but I loathe odd numbers.
So, was this a fairly complicated process or is it a bunch of GUI clicks and clacks until you've got something that works?
