Hi, i made a small frontend

Just need to be in same directory vgmslap.exe and edit vgmfront.cfg to add a VGM directory.

I wanted to have long names, then the frontend not read directly from dierctory, but from files. 2 kind of files, dir.vgd and file.vgd

dir.vgd is when only directory, and file.vgd

for example whe have the VGM in c:\audio\vgmslap\vgms

inside vgms for example whe have YM3812 and YM262 directories, inside this directories the vgm files

then we need to have a dir.vgm in c:\audio\vgmslap\vgms that contain something like

YM3812 Music;YM3812
OPL3 power;YM262

and inside YM3812 a file.vgd file with somethinmg like this

01 Radiance of Esmeranti.vgm;01.vgm
02 Departure.vgm;02.vgm
03 To The World of Darkness.vgm;03.vgm
04 Dark Messenger.vgm;04.vgm
05 Victory.vgm;05.vgm
06 Subterranean City.vgm;06.vgm
07 Beyond The Caves.vgm;07.vgm
08 World of Trees.vgm;08.vgm
09 A Moment's Rest.vgm;09.vgm
10 World of Ice.vgm;10.vgm
11 World of Decay.vgm;11.vgm
12 Secluded Town.vgm;12.vgm
13 World of Gold.vgm;13.vgm
14 World of Fire.vgm;14.vgm
15 World of Wonder.vgm;15.vgm
16 Demon King.vgm;16.vgm
17 To a New Adventure.vgm;17.vgm

In the frontend if press enter in a vgm, launch vgmslap.exe with only this file, but if we press space key, will open vgmslap with the playlist of this directory

the file names must have 74 or less characters to fit screen and cannot mix vgm files and directories

it work great for me, i have a big collection of VGM files in a 1x mitsumi CDrom on a 286 PC, and load names fast, even this slow cd and CPU

Hope you enjoy, i use everyday to listen to my favourite VGM. I made a compilation of 650mb of vgm for OPL2/3 and some conversions, and made a long file name directory list. I dont know if is possible to share this here in vogons
