Top Ten List Creator for Sonique

PURPOSE
This small application will keep tracks of all files played in Sonique and built a HItList over time.

INSTALLATION
No .ocx files are needed. You only need to have a file named "msvbvm50.dll" (or a later version , for example "msvbvm60.dll") in your windows\system folder.

USAGE GUIDE
As soon as you run topten.exe , nothing will actually happen.....!!!!
But as soon as you run Sonique.exe a new icon will appear in your system tray. This is the top ten icon! click it and the top10 window will appear.
Play some songs using sonique and their titles will appear in the top10 list. Double click these titles to play the songs directly from the top10 window!

---> To completely exit the program press either the "exit" button from the menu , or the small "x" button on the title bar
---> To hide the window , but keep the icon in the system tray , click "hide" button from the menu or click the tray icon when the window is visible
---> "List Depth" , opens a pull down menu which allows you to select between a top5 , top10 or top20 list
---> "OnTop" instructs windows to keep the top10 window always on top
---> "Show Options" will display some extra setup options , which are:

• "Set Update Interval in seconds (1-30)" : top10 will only activate itself briefly every 1-30 secs depending on your selection. Setting a high value (ex.30) will update the top10 list only twice in a minute. This is no real problem as no song lasts less than a few minutes.....
• "Reset List" : This button will erase all previous records and start a new list. It will also keep the date and time the new list was created
• "AutoFocus List" : Try it!
• "Icon Always Visible" : If checked the top10 icon is always visible. If unchecked tray icon is hidden when sonique is not running ( this way the app is still in your computer's memory but completely invisible when you are not running sonique.exe). As already said , click "Exit" or "X" to unload the app from memory and stop using it!

That's all!
