1. Player setting

1.1. Player (Sync. mode)

* iTunes (mode-1)

It's an advantage that iTunes doesn't show the dialog to wait for scripts to terminate when you close iTunes.
However, if you use other software to connect with iTunes and the dialog will be shown without Byurside, this mode is meaningless.

* iTunes (mode-2)

When the tack is changed, the screen can be immediately updated, and also the play/pause and skip buttons are more sensitive than mode-1.
However, iTunes will show the dialog to wait for scripts to terminate when you close iTunes.

* Winamp

Free plugin "ActiveWinamp" is required.
However, because the installer of this plugin doesn't support Windows Vista, you will have to take the below steps to install.
*NOTE* Install at your own risk.

How to install ActiveWinamp

Because the installer seems to be failed to install the registry, you will need to do it by yourself.

*NOTE* Install at your own risk.

1. Run "ActiveWinamp.exe" to start installing. (Administrator as needed)
2. The installer freezes.

   "Execute: regsvr32.exe /s �`"

3. Open Task Manager. (Right click on the task bar, otherwise press CTRL+ALT+DELETE.)
4. Stop "regsvr32.exe" process.
5. Extract the below registry archive file.
6. Edit the extracted registry file with some kind of notepad.exe.
   Three points to edit are about the install directory of Winamp which initial value is "C:\\Program Files\\Winamp".
   Be careful that "\" is double typed.
7. Double-click the edited file to install registry.
8. Completed.

1.2. Interval to check the player start

Byurside check the player start up at this interval.
Shorter... give a little bit stress to CPU.
Longer... take a little while to display the 1st track. Specify as long time as you don't mind.

1.3. Interval to check iTunes status

When you use iTunes (mode-1), Byurside check iTunes status at this interval.
* Shorter... give a little bit stress to CPU.
* Longer... take a little while to update the screen. Specify as long time as you don't mind.

1.4. Interval to check Winamp exit

When you use Winamp, Byurside check Winamp exit at this interval.
If you often restart Winamp, by short interval Byurside can quickly connect again with new Winamp process.
By ordinary, long interval would be better.
