 MyMusic Author:Affenmann | Instructions
To install the Player simply extract the zip into the"\Interface\AddOns\" directory.
Everyting has to stay in the"\Interface\AddOns\mymusic\" directory (including the .exe) otherwise it will not work!
Before you run the player for the first time copy some mp3 to a subfolder of your World of Warcraft\Data Directory!
Then use the playlistmaker.exe and enter the path you copied the mp3s to. (it works for almost all mp3s) It will generate a playlist for the given directory. (see The .EXE Problem why you need that step)
Now you can start the player.
If you create more playlists you can add them to the ingame playlist using the import button.
(This will help to get more mp3s out of other directories)
Rest works pretty much the same as winamp.
Feel free to send"Affenmann" a little ingame gift if you like the player
Have a look at the Screenshot!

The .EXE Problem
People might ask why you need a exe for running a Interface Mod and might be afraid of a virus. You have all reasons to be suspicious of people offering .exe files on the Internet. Let me explain what my Exe files contain. The first Exe we have is just a self extracting ZIP file which I placed here for the people who still have no UNZIP-Programm (zip, winrar or whatever). You do not need it (it contains the same stuff as the .zip file. The second exe is included in the ZIP. It is used to generate a playlist if you start the programm and enter a directory (inside WOW\DATA\). The reason why the player needs that programm is that Warcraft gives me no chance to determine when a MP3 gone through once (As far as I know there is no event or anything given, if someone knows any please Mail). Therefor the Player needs the length of a MP3 in seconds. In order to realize that I wrote a C programm myself which calculates the length of every MP3 in the directory and puts the information in a shape WoW can read it. You can do that by hand if you want to. If you do not trust my exe have a look at the mymusicplaylist_sample.lua, try to change it by hand and then rename it to mymusicplaylist.lua. Whoever wants to know what the playlistmaker exactly does or how it works can have the sourcecode (commented c code) from me.
The junction Solution
This solution will only work with NTFS formated drives.
Use the junction programm and generate a link inside your World of Warcraft\Data folder to your MP3 folder. Do this by copying the programm into your Data folder and then executing the junction programm from there in the command shell (start->run cmd). Enter something like"junction mymusic d:\mymp3folder". Now you can acces your Folder as if it was a sub-folder of the wow Data directory. Be carefull about deleting the folder. Better use the junction programm for that ("junction -d mymusic")
