mp3 destroyer
seeks and destroys all copies of the song you just played | |
i'm sure we've all downloaded (completely legally, of course) an mp3/ogg/wma with a glitch, error, missing half the song, corrupted, etc.
to delete this song requires you to search your hard drive for it outside of your player program and then press delete. it may be one of several songs with the
exact same name (shopping for the best quality one), which makes it even harder to find the exact one. then you are liable to download it again by accident.
what we need is a button within the music player program itself that you can press after you hear a corrupted file. it then:
1. deletes the file from the hard drive forever.
2. searches the hard drive for exact copies of that file and deletes them, too.
3. searches other drives for exact copies of that file and deletes them, too.
4. prevents you from ever downloading the same file again. (checksum blacklist or something)

I do. I just like watching the little progress bar. In fact an application that just displays progress bars is something I'd buy. Not sure what features the upgrade path might include. |

I've found that the installation programs for most software
written for a Microsoft OS do this - I'll see one progress
bar blip past, then another crawl past, then another,
then yet another, then... at about this point, I'll wonder
to myself as to the point of having a dozen different
consecutive progress bars. Surely it defies the point of
having them in the first place. |

I've always wished there were more, though. |

Second that. I've seen some lovely progress bars. |
|
| |
Is that a good name for a pub? |
|
| |
[bris]: Try Oracle, or Crystal Reports. |
|
| |
A Visual Studio install provides a lot, too. It takes less time to flatten and re-install XP. |
|
| |
I'd go to a pub called The Lovely Progress. |

In a straight way, I mean - in a straight way.

I like the idea, but i'm bunning it /mostly/ for bristolz commentary |
|

Love that progress bar anno, bris. |

A program that just displays progress bars is a license to print money! Every month you could release an update for it which when installed, runs a progress bar across the screen and changes nothing. Then you go back to running your progress bar app as it was, or if you prefer, you can reinstall the update. |

I think more imagination could be applied to progress bars. Instead of just having little green squares, or a grey rectangle that fills up with blue, why not have a little patches of cloversuddenyl sprout over the screen, and a cute little cow to come and eat it? When the cow gets the last of the clover, your program's ready. |

On-topic...winamp has a function like this. It's called "physically remove selected file," and it's under the REM menu on the playlist. |
|

[friendlyfire] - I'd like to think that The
Lovely Progress, but I've noticed that
The Lovely usually get stabbed in the
back by the Unlovely And Heartless who
tend to Progress a lot faster. |

Sadly? Shouldn't it be a good thing that a good idea has made it past the half-baked stage to reality? |
|
| |
I like the way this is written. It's a shame that it was a bit of a waste. |

I've been using it for years and never knew of that. Thanks. |
