hi all,
I am looking for some nice portable mp3 player able to view album cover like WMP or Amarok for example.

Currently using XMPlay, also tried Coolplayer, portable Winamp etc.

does anybody here know one?

thanks

PS: I have many albums from Jamendo, and I want to create selection on CD with autorun and player and displaying album covers in player would be very nice although it is not necessary.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the no splash screen option.
Turning off the splash screen worked, but instead I get
a mouse wait cursor, after the app started, for about 5 seconds.
I tried this with Sumatra 0.9.4 and WinDirStat 1.1.2.80,
both with the same result.
This also happens, when the program is started and stopped
a few times in a row, so something should be cached by windows.
I do not know, why there is a mouse wait cursor, because these
are small apps that usually start very fast, and do not do this
without the PA launcher.

Srry if this is the wrong spot for this i wasnt sure where to put this post

I'm debating removing the current prompt to enable or disable session store on first run of Firefox Portable. 3.5 has improved performance of the storage on flash drives due to some bug fixes just for Firefox Portable over 3.0. I'm wondering if folks out there are still running it with session store disabled or not. And, if those who have a slower drive and are running it off could try enabling it and see what the performance difference is.

Thanks!

Hi
I searched about it and also I found A lot of using script for Setting Environmental Variables Temporarily at site ( redirect folder)but I don't know why didn't work with Nsis launcher
also here
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Setting_Environment_Variables

StrCpy "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY" "$EXEDIR\Data\${DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR}"
System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("APPDATA", "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY")
when run Nsis Launcher with this code Portable APP made setting in AppData
folder again (why didn't make Directly in the $SETTINGSDIRECTORY?)

PortableApps.com Installer says the installer licence is:

"License: Free / Open Source (GPL) with exceptions for freeware and free open source. Commercial use by contacting PortableApps.com."

I've noticed comments in other posts suggesting you can't use the installer unless you confirm to the "paf" standard?

This doesn't sound like opensource software to me - let alone GPL'd software!

Free as in FREEDOM, not price!

Is it possible to use a usb drive on a network with restricted access?

it's great that themes are now officially supported, but i would
like for the developer(s) to a a Themes page with a
link to it along the silver bar at the top of the page

As many of you know, we're starting to allow 3rd party open source and freeware publishers to package in PortableApps.com Format and will soon allow commercial publishers to do the same. The goal being to make as wide an array of software available on our open source / free / open platform as possible so that we'll never have to worry about a vendor-locked portable platform again. This does raise the question, though, of how to list this new software and distinguish it in the applications directory. So, I've created a poll:

Hello everyone ,

I want to ask the PA team which kind of applications are allowed to included to portable apps. At the moment I develop on an advance wars dual strike rebuild.

The program itself is written in Java and I saw in the last months the portable Java has grown a lot in portability.
I want to publish the full playable beta soon and this program is fully portable.
Furthermore I'm a big fan of portable apps ( all my programs are from portable apps ).
