  ** Hot News Item **

NEW MP3 Player Application Released!

    Software Tool & Die Inc. (STD) are please to announce a brand new MP3 Player application application built from the STD Framework for PowerBuilder. This application allows the PowerBuilder user to select an one or more MP3 files and play them using the framework's MCI (Multimedia Command Interface) MS-Windows API's!

 

   The STD Framework was used for building this application. So features like for example: Zooming, Print Preview, Tabbed Dialogues, Ribbon Bar UI, Logging, Debugging, Themes, Multiple monitor support, automatic dialogue centering, MS-Window notifications,  consistent message box displays, etc are already in the application by default just through inheritance!

 

Key Application features ...  

• Built using PB 2025 build 3726 and the STD Framework 2026 R1
• Tested the Colour Generator on W11 version 25H2 build 26200.7922

  

   The MP3 Player application is another great example of a PB App that it is all driven by the STD framework. This allows the PB developer to easily build modern GUI Application interfaces that are  required / desired with all the "bells & whistles" just by changing object inheritance. The framework based app also allows the PB developer to be exponentially more productive!

 

    To use the MP3 Player application, just click on a colour in either category. A hand icon will appear next to your selection and then the resulting colour values will be generated, as follows.

 

All MP3 files copied to the App's EXE's folder are automatically in the play list!

 

 

Selecting the PLAY icon will start the MP3's to be played

 

 

       Tip: You can expand the right side of the play to see the MP3 file list and you can expand the display area to see a live visual animation of what song is playing! Just click on either the expand  / collapse command buttons. 

         From there, you can also Pause, Stop, Select Next, Prior, or First in the menu or click on the play list or use the Track Control button to control the playback list. There are radio buttons as well to automatically replay a certain track or replay the entire MP3 list! You can even open the MS-Windows O/S Volume Mixer from the MP3 Player and if desired, control the output devices and the MP3 volume levels from inside the mixer. The MP3 Player app also allows you to control the Left / Right / Mute features of the O/S as well from inside the MP3 Player!

 

Volume Mixer automatically shows the PB MP3 Player!

 

  

     The MP3 Player application can now be downloaded from the SourceForge website.
