Well, i have a 2gb laptop with 256mb reserved for the graphics card, and every byte counts. Two kingston sodimm cards of 2gb DDR2 800mhz cl5 for not losing dual channel are 80-90 euros for a six years old computer... :s And from my experience with my dusk.mod for small screens i think some people with netbooks could find benefits too.
My physical memory used goes from 930mb to 1013 (without counting MiniLyrics) while the process manager says it takes 60mb at restart. I compare it with 1by1 which also uses the bass library and takes only 17mb. That would be a 83-17= 66mb of safety in case the browser takes more memory and starts using the swap file slowing down the pc.
I dont see what value i could add over and above whats already offered from the myriad of small players available.
The value of increasing playcounts for having real statistics which is the reason why i keep it only as a player for hours.
Because just using the classic compact player layout and still keeping with the .net would not produce many benefits or yes?
I made a mock up starting from classic compact player:
I'm asking for the minimun efforts for this, not skinnable, not needing to show the album cover, just player controls, an actual playlist which could show just filenames, no times, no artist, no track titles, no time for other tracks. It should increase playcounts and showing rating for the playing song being able to modify it. Maybe another basic player could be forked to just add the playcounts increasing
