Playlist Import/Export | 0.3a/0.4a
These plugins let you import to and export playlists in simple or extended M3U (exporting absolute paths only at the moment), PLS, XSPF (XML) and HTML (export only) format. Source code is included, but XSPF import does not work yet!
Importing will add the songs from the playlist file to Now Playing and the actual library (so select "Collected" before when you don't want the playlist's songs in your main library), but it won't create a new static playlist in musikCube (you can do that manually afterwards)! To avoid problems, playlists for importing should contain absolute paths. You can export every playlist displayed in mC (but unfortunately mC has some Unicode problems which causes wrong filenames with foreign characters).

These modified versions of Casey Langen's original musikCube.exe and musikCore_u.dll incorporate ObsidianX's "Smart Previous" patch and Jooles' multimedia keyboard fix (rev. 1)!
Planned: Include the "Times Played" patch and jmillikin's Now Playing code. I'll only host the most stable and bugfree release, but Jooles' latest builds can be found here (OFFLINE). Jooles' source code can be found at his SNV repository and ViewCVS (OFFLINE).

With these modified versions of Casey Langen's original musikCube.exe and musikCore_u.dll, a "smart previous" behaviour is enabled to go back to the real last played song and not the song one higher in Now Playing when in Random Playback mode.

ARCHIVE Fix for mC's multimedia keyboard hijacking, revision 1
With this modified version of Casey Langen's original musikCube.exe, you get rid of the annoying multimedia keyboard hijacks mC tends to. It also adds the checkbox "Multimedia keyboard volume keys control musikCube volume" to the Global Hotkeys Preferences.

"Times Played" patch
With this modified version of Casey Langen's original musikCore_u.dll, a song's "Times Played" counter is only increased by 1 if the song is fully played and not just started. Not compatible with the Unofficial Bugfix 1.01 or "Smart Previous" patch yet.

musikMigrate2
This command line tool is meant for changing the paths within mC's library database, so you are able to physically move your files without losing ratings and statistics of you songs. It is not an updated version of Casey's original musikMigrate, it's a new program by Jooles for mC 1.0 final. Unfortunately it seems to have major bugs at the moment, so try it only for backuped DB file and on your own responsibility! Read how to use it; sources are here.

WORKAROUND You can use the neat SQLiteSpy (no installation needed) to open and modify SQLite databases like musik_u.db or musik_collected_u.db (on Windows XP usually found under C:\documents and settings\[your username]\.musikproject\). You have to use SQL queries if you want to work effectively with SQLiteSpy, so look here how to change the paths with the following query (no guarantee!):

UPDATE songs SET filename = REPLACE(filename, '[drive:\old path\]', '[drive:\new path\]');

As an example:
UPDATE songs SET filename = REPLACE(filename, 'e:\my music\', 'f:\files\music\');

NONFUNCTIONAL musikMigrate | 0.1
This simple tool changes the paths of songs within mC's library database, so you are able to physically move your files without losing ratings and statistics of you songs. But because it is from 2005 and comes with outdated bass.dll and musikCore_u.dll, it seems not to work with 1.0 final anymore (replacing the two files with current versions will crash musikMigrate)! Read Casey's rundown of how to use it anyway.
