Whats new in NAD 0.80?
Command Line options (see Below)
In-Window visualisation
Oscilliscope - An Oscilliscope.. what more can I say about it? There are several modes
to choose from, and a high-persistence option to add a cool 'fade out' to it..
Spectrum Analyser - an average spectrum analyser....
Advanced Skip Protection
Support for Drag+Drop directories
Custom NAD-Look message boxes
NAD now remembers the last directory you loaded files from
A Frame Counter
Stream Sync 'Lights' (the green and red boxes under the time display) (please dont ask
what the blue one is for yet...)
The Purple light is a Low Buffer warning light, if this is lit a lot, then I'd reccommend either
turning up the nuber of buffers, adding pre-buffering, or even dropping for 486
mode(Which may be a lot faster on Cyrix/amd 686 chips). The light will be on at the very
beginning of decoding, because nad will not have filled up its audio buffer, the light should
dim after 1second of sound is played.
Better Shell Intergration. One major improvement is, if you run nad from its .exe then you
can start as many nads as you like, however double clicking an associated .mp3(or
mp1,mp2) will find the other nad and tell it to play the mp3.... assuming multiple instances
is switched off in the preferences... Clever? maybe...
More fixups to the Continuous Playback, its even better than before! (is that possible???)
Keep trying MuseArc......
Drag and Drop onto the playlist editor ADDS the item(s) to the playlist while keeping the
existing playlist.
Brand new TAG Editor
More Genre Settings (One Hundred and Eleven to be precise...)
Preset Graphic Equalizer set-up's (For Some Of The more common Genres)
The ability to set the GraphicEqualizer from the GENRE of a TAG.
Vast speed-ups all round, I went through all the new code optimizing (and in some cases
re-writing) the code to be as fast as possible.
Re-Implemented Mp3 TAG Support
Re-Implemented Time Display
Improved MP1/MPG audio playback code
Improved plugin support
Improved sync detection
Fixed an 'issue' with winamp-made playlists. Winamp saves the filenames of the items
relative to the playlist location, NAD expects a full path name. Anyway NAD now knows the
difference between the playlist formats (and its still compatible with winamp) and adjusts
itself accordingly, sorry to all who had winamp made playlists that were causing problems
with NAD.

Brand new Command Line Options
/HIDDEN Causes NAD to start hidden from view
/QUIT Causes NAD to quit after the last item in the playlist has been played. This will
'auto-disable' if you use the gui, so its best used with the /HIDDEN option...

/SHUFFLE:ON
/SHUFFLE:OFF Activates/Deactivates shuffle mode.
/REPEAT:ON
/REPEAT:OFF Activates/Deactivates Repeat Play mode.
