                @Naprosnia I found a bug with fade effect when I leave the game, the system volume goes to 73% or 83% instead of staying at 100%. Without fade effect it's good, it stays at 100%.

                  @WarC0zes hello, if you enter a game with 100% volume, when you leave it, the volume go to 73/83?
                  I'll check that out.

                      @WarC0zes fixed now. I put an extra option on RetroPie-BGM-Player / BGM Update menu, to reinstall everything. So if you need to reinstall it, simply go to update and select reinstall.

                      But for now you need to reinstall again manually.

                          @Naprosnia Hey man, I love your implementation of this. Ultra noob friendly and integrated into the config menu for fine adjustments. I have a small idea/request. I like to display launch art, as well as have the BGM fade effect set. But currently they work independent of each other. Currently: Launch Game > Music Fades > Then launch art is displayed > game starts. I think it would be great if it could work like: Launch Game > Launch Art is displayed AS music is fading > game starts.

                          I don't know if that's possible but you got a donation coming your way if you can :) Either way, keep up the great work!

                                    @Naprosnia may I ask which application do you use to play emulated soundtracks? Can you extend to play module files too?

                                      @cyperghost hello, check audacious application files support. When i release the new version i post the files supported for BGM Player. I know that audacious support some module files, but i need to "unlock" it on bgm player. Google for audacious supported files, if you see some of your interest, tell me and i add its support to bgm player.
                                      Because of the way i implemented the application on bgm, i need to add the file type to the bgm player settings so it can manage to play it.

                                            @Naprosnia Yes I see audacious is your new player now. It seems very versatile. How is the CPU load?
