Download

• foo_playtime.zip (10k) [11/02/03]

Requirements

• Foobar 2000
• MS SQL Server
• Accepting community and lead-developer interaction which leaves nearly too much to be desired.

Installation

• Create a database named 'playtime'
• Put the DLL in foobar2000's components directory

Extra

• The table used for storing data, 'songs', will be created when it does not exist
• As was a feature in the winamp version, I map this plugin menu item to the [Pause/Break] key globally
• This is my first time implementing C++, ADO, WinAPI GUI, Foobar plugin
• This plugin is required to allow me to switch from winamp 2 to foobar2000
• Might as well be GPL'ed, I'd like to experience the well documented benefits, mail me if you care
• Some zealot said GPL'ing this simple plugin would be a violation of the Foobar license agreement
• The Foobar bug which caused this plugin to crash on system shutdown was fixed sometime between 0.72b6 and 0.72
