Occasionally a friend of DC without a web site will release a program and ask us to host it. We've create the Miscelaneous Member Software Archive for this purpose.
There you will find some programs by DC member seedling, including: Random MixTape Maker, which takes a large collection of your mp3 files and creates playlists with a specified target duration; WTF Music Info, which will scan your music directories and give you a nice, graphical view of your music library.

Coding Snack: MIDI data and screensaverDoes anyone know of a way (or program) to make MIDI data stop the windows screensaver or power saving mode, switch the power "profile" or anything similar?
I.E., if the screensaver is running and I tap a few notes on my (piano) keyboard, the screensaver should shut off, and if I'm playing a song, the screensaver should not start. The problem is that if I'm playing music on-screen with my MIDI keyboard, the screensaver may turn on, so I have to move a hand from the MIDI keyboard to the computer keyboard or mouse. I'd like to do this without disabling the screensaver, so that after 10 minutes of MIDI (or mouse or keyboard) inactivity, the screensaver comes on as usual. I am running MIDI-OX (http://www.midiox.com/) all the time, which routes my keyboard to an external sound module. Thanks, and great forum. I'm a long-time lurker. Eric |
