Logitech G15 support

[slimmeke]

hey

I'm switching from Winamp to MusicBee.
I love using Musicbee.
But I mis something. There is no support for G15, G19 keyboards.
Is it possible to add this support in the next release. So we can see what is playing at the moment.

MusicBee already includes support for Winamp plugins so you could try with the same plugin you were using before.

Hi Zak,

I've been successfully using MariuZ's fantastic G19 Winamp plugin with both Winamp and Mediamonkey:
http://mariuz.org/category/g19/winamp-app/
The plugin also supports the display of synchronised lyrics via my MiniLyrics lyrics folder.

After deinstalling Winamp and Mediamonkey in favor of MusicBee I can't get it to work with the Bee.  
I'd love to get it working again.

Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards,
Stockinger

The download page for the latest version includes this question from another user:
Is it a winamp plugin or a Keyboard plugin?

The developer's answer might explain why it won't work with MusicBee:
Well actually it is neither, hence the name “App”. Just unzip to a folder of your choice and start it.

Maybe there's some hokery pokery going on to make it work with Winamp and Media Monkey, despite not being a plugin.
You could email the developer and ask, or even better ask them to add support for MusicBee. 

Otherwise, there's another G15 plugin on the Winamp site you could try:

Without one of these fancy keyboards to practice with, I can't offer much more. Sorry.

Hi all

I'm making a plugin for MusicBee and Logitech at the moment.
But I don't know when it's ready.
Maybe next day or maybe next week.
I hope next week.
