read the readme, either you put an invalid directory in Settings.txt or it contains to many sub folders.

I like it. The only thing I would really like to change is the fact that if I have it running in the background and I click on a window in font of it, It still registers my clicks.  Am a making sense?  I would like an option to turn off the bouncing crosshairs - line thingy.

the background mouse thing does suck, that it partially why i made the min mode.

or just minimize the window , 

 the bouncy crosshair thing is lame, i don't know why i didn't take it out, the spinny trig 3d thing was cool though, or so i think

Ya, I like the spinning thing too.  
How did you make it, if I may be bold enough to ask?

The interface is very nice but it does crash a lot and it doesn't detect my MP3 files in My Music (I made sure the path text file was correct). Also, get rid of the grid thing, it's kind of annoying. The nice 3D thing in the background was a nice addition and the ability to search and stuff was good.

Add error checking, and add a sick GUI:

How did you create the spinny thing?  It would be better if you just removed the bouncing thing and just let it be controlled by the mouse only.  Other than that, awesome job!

I thought the GUI was sick lol, but yeah i got rid of the stupid cross hair thing, and i've added different visuals, i'll upload it soon, just getting rid of some kinks with the file searching, 

the spinny psuedo 3d thing in the background is just drawing circles from trig values, the angles are generated by the mouse co-ordinates and other coordinates (i guess i kept the crosshair thing as a refrence point)  i do have the code for it posted somewhere in the turing forums. 

you have to keep in mind i started working on this  like 6 months ago and every once and a while i improve on it, i should post the origonal just to show how far it's come.  But yeah updated version should be up tomorow.

Re: Music Player App Upgraded version
-----------------------------------
So yeah its been a few months, but as i said i like to post upgrades (when there is a deffinate inprovement) 

added a much needed slider bar, lost the min screen in an effort to stop it from being crowded, added  effects other that 3d spiral (allthough 3d spiral is the coolest) 

anyway the readme file is very out of date and i can't bring myself to fix it again


including most current code

keep in mind that the adding and removing of new functions has slightly butchered the code, the main architecture is still in place 
but some quick hack togethers were required to get a scroll bar in,  i'll keep this in mind for future projects, i'd say i"m about done on this one
maybe i'll fix up the file searching and add some more error checking in the future, i would have liked to have added playlists and had a semi functionimg
system for it , but it didn"t work well with the rest of the program anyway 

here it is , 
feel free to look over the code, ive been getting some pms on how i did it so figured it was time :vi:

It's good, but it always detects one song less that what I have. I tried modifying your code, but I don't the time to finish it. I got it to detect all the songs and show them, but it still doesn't play the first one. It always jumps to the second. Also, if there are no songs in the folder, you should have it catch the error and tell you in a nice way instead of having Turing say stuff about the array on line x.
