Hello, sorry my english, I programmed a music player for wav files for Windows 3.1, it is totally designed to be efficient at 16 colors
It has an ini file that stores position X, Y and a custom directory to open first, if left blank it opens the program directory
The program searches for two types of files in the music directory, BMP for the cover, which can be cover.bmp or the name of the file, for example, if it is vangelis.wav, if it finds vangelis.bmp it will put that image, and a file called play.lst which is basically a simple text file, which can be created and edited with the button below the list of wav files, where you can give a long name to each wav file that is in 8+3
If program can't find play.lst, it put the directory name+wav name as the name
When minimized it shows the file name, both long and short if there is no play.lst
I programmed this player in 95 or 96, I don't remember exactly, but I had lost the code for decades. A few days ago I found a floppy with almost all the code!!!! What a happines, so I started writing the missing parts, which were few, and compiled it again almost 30 years later...!
As you can see, it is simple, and optimized for 16 colors, need vb4 runtimes
If you open the list of files you will be able to see the button to edit the names
Edit and you will see how it appears in the title
