This SW is missing. Is this caused by lack of recourses (volunteers) or on purpose? — Preceding unsigned comment added by A.Bebel (talk • contribs) 11:13, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Dopamine

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm currently looking for an open source music player for Windows that shows a good album overview and looks nice, and I found Dopamine. It is actively developed and published under GPLv3. Do you think it's worth adding? Can anyone imagine why no one talks about it and why it doesn't have a big community, but still gets developed? -- MissMercy (talk) 21:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

This article is missing many useful features

Is there any objection to adding more features to one of the tables? Here's a list of some things iTunes can do. I'd be interested in knowing if any other players can do these things:

1. If a song is too loud or too quiet, I can set a volume adjustment for that song, and iTunes automatically adjusts the volume each time it plays that song.
2. If I only like part of a song, I can, for example, set a start time of 1:20 and an end time of 4:55. Each time iTunes plays the song, it will skip the first 1 minute 20 seconds of the song, and stop playing when it gets to 4 minutes 55 seconds into the song.
3. It remembers how many times it's played each song.
4. It remembers the last date and time it played each song.

Also, one of the tables includes playlists based on criteria, but this isn't very meaningful, because it doesn't specify what criteria are available. iTunes can use 49 different criteria, including

1. comments
2. date last played
3. inclusion in another specified playlist.
