Xion Community

Xion is getting to the point that I don't miss other players, just one or two features.

One I could really use from Foobar is Pause on Lock (extended) {foo_lock_ex}

This one pauses on lock, and plays on unlock, and, unlike a few others, doesn't play when the screensaver kicks in. It's great when I need to step away from my desk, and I forget to hit pause first...

Hi leadfoot!

Its great to hear that a lot more people are now moving from existing players to Xion! I did a check recently of existing players and found that almost all of them use 60mb of RAM these days Eeep.

I'll look at adding support for this. It could also be done as a plugin, but its probably nicer to just add support into the core.

I was thinking plugin as well, but whatever works best. You can program. I can't. yet.

About the memory, when I modded a skin to add album art, the memory went from ~9M to ~13M. Still less than winamp classic at 20M + 8M for CD Art Display. Not too shabby! Keep up the good work!

Edit: Hmmm. I checked again. On startup, with album art, it's 5.5M. Open the playlist, and it goes to ~7.5M. Open the simple library, and then it goes up to 11-13M. Closing them doesn't release the memory. Still, 13M is TINY compared to most players...Don't even get me started about iTunes. (frickin' iPhone FW2.x....)
