New build of Sonique2 (25/10/02) has been released. "A pre-release version of Sonique2 is now available for public consumption. It is being called an Alpha release to reflect the fact that Sonique2 still has a ways to go before it will be ready for release. Alpha builds are buggy, unsupported and unfinished. Install them at your own risk. "

there are many new fixes. click Read more for change log. and download link

Chanle log is as follows:-
-added "Sonique2 Restore" entry in the Sonique2 program group. this batch file will attempt to find and delete your sonique2 settings files. thereby restoring all of sonique2 defaults.
-fixed crashes: Translate() call, "prev track" with shuffle turned on
-filter non-supported file extensions out of "add folder" calls. maybe this should be a user configurable setting?
-fixed SetTimer() to respect the 'repeat' param.
-fixed a joint stereo bug in the AE filter (thanks tony!)
-lots of XPL playlist file fixes/tweaks
-fixed vis window group property
-enabled custom image styles for right click menu in playlist window, i added a player property and moved playlistname property to window level (from global level). also added SetAssociatedPlayer(), GetAssociatedPlayer(). Note: Playlists don't need to have a player associated with them.
-first hack at supporting multimedia keyboards (and other devices). i don't have one of these, so someone let me know if it works.
-updated LoadSkin() to launch a main window if there isn't one open already
-added InterfacePreference calls (such as :sonique.InterfacePrefsGetString();). Skinners, please use these calls instead of the global prefs calls when saving info about your interfaces. See the mantis help for the full list and details (and the devskin for an example).
-added code to the devskin save/restore size/location/ontop. doubleclick the frame to restore the default size.
-various minor tweaks, language updates and bug fixes.
