Julio Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 How long is it going to take for the next multi-plugin release for iTunes 8? Link to comment
iGo Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 To be precise... Most probably, NEVER! Link to comment
Malek Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 More like an Avetunes that doesn't crash with iTunes 8...: Link to comment
usafa09 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Any chance we'll see a multi plugin alternative or some stripped down version of itunes that organizes the same way and supports ipods, etc. without all the fluff and memory hogging? Link to comment

King Of Chaos Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah, probably little chance of an update. Time to move on, yes? Link to comment
iGo Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Time to move onRight on!! Link to comment
usafa09 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Move on to what? Link to comment
iGo Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Move on to what?To Nothing. As far as I see the current situation on MultiPlugin, the development is stopped. I don't recollect Localhost (the original developer) officially announcing so, but the way every iTunes update keeps breaking MultiPlugin... I can understand his frustruation.So unless you've iPod... and iTunes is last word in media player for you. I suggest you find alternative media player (such as Foobar, Winamp) if you really care about bloat and memory footprints. Link to comment
xfifteen Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm happy though iTunes 8 fits into the Vista interface, thanks to the new buttons, unlike safari... Link to comment
usafa09 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 can you manage ipods, playlists, and video for the ipod w/ foobar 2000? Link to comment

iGo Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 can you manage ipods, playlists, and video for the ipod w/ foobar 2000?Maybe you don't read everything fully or only read between the lines.Here is what I saidSo unless you've iPod... Link to comment
King Of Chaos Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Or bite the bullet and use the latest iTunes alone without MultiPlugin. I've been using iTunes without MultiPlugin for nearly a year and a half without any problems. Link to comment
junksierra Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 is there any way someone else could continue development of multiplugin? as much as i appreciate the amount of work and the features that localhost has put into the application, it has for a long time been obselete and useless to anyone to wants to keep up to date with the current itunes and ipod software. is there anyone else who has the know-how and enthusiasm to continue this great program's development and would localhost be willing to relinquish his control over its development?

KAWSquared Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Why would you even want to skin your itunes anyways? For god's sake, the thing uses ****ing bitmaps. Nasty. Link to comment
iGo Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Why would you even want to skin your itunes anyways? For god's sake, the thing uses ****ing bitmaps.Although skinning was the most popular aspect of it, MultiPlugin was useful for more than skinning. is there any way someone else could continue development of multiplugin?I doubt anyone would be interested, unless they have patience to make changes and updates every time iTunes gets update and plugin is broken. Not to mention, support for users... people have different configurations (both HW/SW), and people run into issues. Supporting and fixing bugs. All this take lot of time and effort for single developer. With the short span between new iTunes updates, all this load increases.So I really doubt, anyone would really be interested in it.

SbuxBlaze Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 To be precise... Most probably, NEVER!+1. Unless anyone suddenly decides to take on the project, it's not happening Link to comment
schmrom Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 A new Multiplugin would be really cool, but I also don't think it will happen Link to comment
The iApple Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 ehhhhhh for what? Those bloody thing are useless, you can't update to a new version, you have to stuck with an specific version, which may have many glitches and bugs, and you have to depend on the humor of those multi-pulgins, and of the PC of course. Get a Mac! They aren't to expensive. Link to comment
olympus Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 +1. Unless anyone suddenly decides to take on the project, it's not happeningI would pay for it... Link to comment
KAWSquared Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I would pay for it...-1. I'd crack it. Link to comment
some guy and some numbers Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wow, I never see trolls around here.Anyway, I don't see coming the day that localhost will show up. Link to comment
ericemel Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Is a real shame, I would happily pay for this too.With the release of itunes remote for the ipod touch and iphone there has been alot of talk on audiophile forums, as this is a perfect setup for a faceless computer/audio server, but the whole ASIO issue kills using itunes in its tracks. And as far as I have seen winamp/mediamonkey/foobar dont have such intergrated remote software.(and hi, first post) Link to comment
jx12345 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 well... if Localhost has really decided not to continue with multiplugin - would it be possible for you to release the source code? I am a software developer and i'd be really interested in continuing foobar passthrough support for newer iTunes versions than 7. If nothing else than just for myself . Someone else might take on other features. Ballena and iGo No iTunes version on any platform can compete with the sound quality of foobar. So basically it's "stop using iTunes". Link to comment
