So I realize this is probably one of those things where you'll either be like meh, or ooh cool, but here's another thing I've been working on, mainly for my own personal use and a group of friends than anything, but I figured wtf, someone else here might enjoy this. This is #FastPlay, a little media player that I've been working on. It's not and will never be a full replacement for Foobar2000, and thus lacks things such as a converter and a media library, but has enough features I think for it to still be useful. It supports being able to be set as the default for formats, for example. I'll paste a bit from the readme here which explains what's unique about FastPlay: At the core of Fastplay are what we will call virtual sliders. Right now, there are two of these virtual sliders.
The first one adjusts things like your volume and any effects you choose to enable/add. You choose what this slider adjusts by using left and right brackets, and then adjust the value itself with up or down arrows.
The second slider allows you to do things such as seek and move between tracks. You adjust what this slider does by using comma and period, and you adjust the slider with left and right arrows.
You can choose what shows up in these sliders by heading to the options dialog, control comma.

@Bri Mute works a treat and the scheduling options are very comprehensive.
Show threadBrišŸ„°Jan 24
@brian_hartgen Yeah. I figured someone would want to schedule something a very specific way, so I made sure that they could hopefully do so
Show threadBrian Hartgen
@Bri What I like is that you've got the option to play the stream, record it or both. That's cool.

@brian_hartgen Yes. I figure someone might just want it to start playing something at a specific time and not record it.

@brian_hartgen Just be warned, I found a bug here. If you set it to record only, right now in the build you have, the audio isn't correctly muted. I've just fixed that now, so when the next build comes out it will correctly mute the audio when the scheduled event starts.
