Music Question

Maybe I have missed it but is there a way to randomize the music being played. I have added music which seems to work great, it just always plays the same order and starts at the beginning of the list whenever started.

Can't randomize yet.

Understood, are there any plans to add functions to allow cycling manually through the songs?

Thumbs Down XM Radio

any hope of being able to listen to XM Radio(on line) as background to the screen saver?

Stu, can I ask why you add a thumbs down to every post on this forum?

As for XM radio, that is talking about queuing up a website in the background, triggering a specific station, and setting the volume. I think that is outside the purview of the Aquarium.

Yes, I've been worried about casual browsers of the Forum seeing all those thumbs-down, too.

Margan is right, I wouldn't have any idea how to hook up to XM radio.

Sorry; I guess it just my old eye sight looks like a ?(question mark) to me. I do not mean to be negative, your program is the best screen saver I have ever seen.

I don't think that what I am looking for is so strange . I'm not sure how difficult it would by, but I know that I can simulate what I want. I open the streaming audio with Windows Media player; then opening the preview of the screen saver. I then have the radio playing with the Aquarium on the screen

I'm not sure, but I think the problem would be in the interface to find the radio stations in the first place using the aquarium program. Creating that would probably be more time consuming than what Jim has planned currently. Maybe he has some other ideas though.

It sounds like you already have a pretty good way of doing it, using Media Player.
