I'd say SSF support. Either that or money. How about a Bob Saget or Chuck Norris appearance instead of Rod Stewart?

Or William Shatner!

marioman was closest; support for a new format is going to be added in an upcoming build once I can get my head around C++ namespaces.

Actually, JILost said it first. I was just sarcastically agreeing.

New format huh? My guess is that it will probably be GBS/GBSe. (Just to try to bring NotSo up to par with NEZPlug.) Unless you decide to just go ahead and for some weird reason include 2SF support in a NSFe plugin. :P

marioman, it is with great honor that I urge you to go back to psychicville.

Oh, so you are including 2SF support. I figured as much. :P

Really, when you consider the active formats that would be compatible with NotSo, the demand for tagging for GBS, the fact that you were messing with GBS to GSF conversions, etc. one can easily deduce what the format will be. (Well, I guess it does help a little to read the cosmic vibrations first.)

Since you are making changes to the plugin, I will put in a request. I really do not like two things about NotSo:

1. You have to load an entire NSFe into NotSo in order to listen to one track. (Solution: Allow miniNSFe/NSFlib-esque separation of files.)

2. You have to use an external window to play/seek the NSFe file.

If you can fix either of these and get GBS files working, my enthusiasm for this plugin would increase. Otherwise, I find those two things too much of a bother.

In notsofatso, you can shadow files to winamp. Load the NSF you want a playlist of, view the file information window, and click the Shadow -> Winamp button. This should remove the need for any external files, as the resulting file can be saved as a playlist, or you can skip shadowing to winamp by clicking Shadow -> File instead.

I have tried that, but I find it a little bulky. Additionally, if I remember correctly, the shadowed playlist entries still have to be played through the external window.

Under 'Config 2' of the external window, uncheck 'NSF Shadows'. This will exclude that window from appearing when playing shadowed files.

I never had much trouble with using the external window, so I haven't investigated shadowing to any degree.

Shadowing does need a few improvements, though. It stores playlist entries in a format of "nsf://<songindex>:<NSFe filename>".
The problem is, if you modify the <NSFe filename> field to only contain the filename and not the full pathname, the playlists aren't guaranteed to work. So Shadow Playlists aren't quite as portable as NEZplug m3us.


Also, regarding the progress of my converter program: As already reported, the NSFe->M3U portion of the program works perfectly.
However, I haven't managed to start on the M3U->NSFe functionality yet. The one thing I had neglected to include in my plan was a way to isolate the track titles themselves from whatever else that would be included in the M3U's "Title" field (Game, Artist, etc.). The tricky part is, of course, that different people format the string in different ways.
