is there a plugin that autoloads evil lyrics with foobar2000? if not can somebody plz create?
anza
Why won't you just make a batch file that starts both, foobar and Evil Lyrics, on the same time?
ghosting
because i dont know how...

if you could teach me, that'd be great
WarBird
CODE
REM start bat file
c:\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe
c:\evillyrics\evillyrics.exe
REM replace paths with real paths etc
REM end bat file


copy/paste this into notepad, and save as <whatever>.bat
(you might need to put quotes around the filename when you save, to stop notepad from saving as whatever.bat.txt)

edit: as dano said below me, you need to use the "start" commend... sorry.. else evillyrics wont start until you close foobar
dano
This actually works I think:
CODE
@ECHO OFF
start C:\Programme\EvilLyrics\EvilLyrics.exe
start C:\Programme\Winamp\winamp.exe

With other paths ofc wink.gif

lol shouldnt it be foobar2000.exe biggrin.gif

thx guys
ghosting
does this work with spaces? like c:\program files\xxx
zyrill
yes but you have to enclose the path with a ", for example: "c:\program files\xxx"
dano
if "c:\program files\xxx" does not work, try c:\"program files"\xxx
ghosting
is there some place i should put the bat? the bat runs fine but it doesn't load foobar or evillyrics
dano
What does your bat look like?
ghosting
@ECHO OFF
start "C:\Program Files\EvilLyrics\EvilLyrics.exe"
start "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe"
anza
Try this
CODE
@ECHO OFF
start C:\"Program Files\EvilLyrics\EvilLyrics.exe"
start C:\"Program Files\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe"


That works at least here. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that or like
CODE
C:\"Program Files"\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe


But as I said, at least it works that way smile.gif
ghosting
thx, that first code worked

is it possible to have foobar2000 open with evilLyrics when i open a mp3 file or any other files?
Mr_Rabid_Teddybear
If you want to avoid using quotes in a batchfile you can replace the Windows-names in your path with DOS-names instead, e.g.
CODE
@ECHO OFF
START C:\PROGRA~1\FOOBAR~1\FOOBAR~1.EXE
START C:\PROGRA~1\EVILLY~1\EVILLY~1.EXE

i'm really trying to find a way to do this, anybody know how?
WarBird
associate your mp3's with your new bat file?
CODE
Shift+rightclick an mp3 -> Open with -> Choose program... -> Other... -> browse to your .bat file -> ok -> Check "always use this program to open these files" -> ok
