Cog is the future foobar2000 clone for Mac!

I think if Cog implemented all of the foobar2000 file/folder management features, it would become perfect.

But that would require a lot of work, indeed.

Cog global keys are awesome. However, there's one feature I miss: the ability to fast forward/rewind the current playing track using them.

I listen to lots of electronic music singles. And I usually want to skip the first minute or two, because it's too boring. In VLC, if I keep the forward key pressed, it fast forward the track. Could you implement this in Cog?

Also, I noticed the UI previous/next buttons doesn't forward/rewind either. It would be neat (tough not necessary) to have this working too.

Thanks.

Cog 0.08 r1934 is awesome. It has no bugs, and is very stable.

Keep up with the development.

But I don't get it. Cog has only one Window, aka the Main Window.

Why don't Cog just behave like all applications I know, and just display the Main Window (even if minimized) when I click the dock icon?

Is Cog still alive? I would like to help in its development. I never programmed for Mac neither used objective-c. But I'm a skilled programmer, and can learn fast.

How can I start? What do you suggest to do?

Thank you.

There's one workaround: if minimized, the Cog's window can be restored through Expos

Snow Leopard introduced the dock option: "Minimize windows into application icon".

When this option is enabled, if you minimize the Cog window, the window can never be restored back. I've tried everything, but the only solution if you minimize the window is to restart Cog.

I'm using the latest night build (Cog r1934).

I don't know how to explain, but I've downloaded the latest night build (r1934) and it worked! There's no option "system default output device", but I selected my multichannel audio card as output, and it used the right output I've mapped in OS-X's "Audio and MIDI setup application".

But I still think there should be an option to use the "system default output device", for coherence.

Thank you, Cog is becoming greater everyday. It's currently my default audio player.

Yesterday, I downloaded the nightly build. I've noticed some great improvements in the user interface. This player is becoming great.

But, again, unless I'm able to configure the audio outputs, it's useless for me. I'm willing to help in wathever I can.

Thank you.

Hi. First of all, congratulations for this amazing player. However, there's a problem which prevents me from using it.

I have a 4 channel sound card (Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ - USB), Core Audio compatible. I mean, my soundcard has two independent stereo outputs.

I'm running Mac OS-X Leopard 10.5.7, with the latest drivers for my soundcard. My system is a MacBook 13" White SantaRosa.

For some reasons I would rather not discuss in this thread, I need the second stereo output to be the default audio output of my system. I've successfully done this using the "Audio MIDI setup" utility. I just set "stereo speakers" in the "configure speakers" section, and assigned the left channel to the 3rd channel of my soundcard, and the right channel to the 4th channel.

This setup works pretty well with all other apps: iTunes, QuickTime, Firefox, Safari... except with Cog. No mather what I try, Cog only plays in the first stereo output of my soundcard (channels 1-2).

I've tried SoundFlower to route my audio channels, but this application makes my system unstable, and the audio driver crashes often.

Is there any way to configure Cog so that it would use the second stereo output of my soundcard (I mean, channels 3-4)?

Would be too much to ask for a way to configure this in Cog, or making it use my system's preferences?

Thank you.
