x42bn6 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 SI would have to develop a whole media player to save you around 1 mouse click (since you'll still have to click the mouse to change the music)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
typenamehere Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yeah its a bit lazy =P My computer is a bit slow (brother downloading films) and it always freezes for a bit when alt tabbing I'm sure others have the problem too so it could help them.

ShaunCpfc Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think this would be an excellent idea if possible but would perhaps delay the release of FM10 as it would take alot of work to add the feature. Good idea though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Rubbish idea IMO. There are plenty of other ways to play music without SI assigning time to creating a way within FM when that time would be much better spent in other areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
impirion Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It would be an interesting idea, but for me it is not much of a problem as I usually play in windowed mode so I can get to my iTunes at any time without alttabbing out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougyMarshall Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Playing in windowed mode would solve that. I either watch tv online (BBC iplayer, or TVCatchup) on the left side of my screen with FM running on the right side of it. Plus with the network game im part of the now i have a steam window open for chatting as well on the left hand side, generaly right above the "tv" window.

go-on-jonny!!! Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 i reckon it would be good to download team songs like if you was playing at fratton park you would hear play up pompey or paul hart's blue n white army being sung and glory glory man united at old trafford. i think that would be brilliant or if you are doing bad and your fans booing or if doing good they are signing the chairmans name.

Big-Murph Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 That's a great idea actually! I'm sure they could cash in on it aswell... maybe even advertisments and stuf as part of the player.

trekman Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Where can you activate windowed mode? I cant find it anywhere, any help appreciatedcheers Create an icon for fm if its not already there. Right click on that icon and select properties. On the shortcut tab find the box marked target and add the following -windowed -small_screen to the end of the target box so it looks like this "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\fm.exe" -windowed -small_screen Reboot fm and it should now be in a window.
