I don't know how the community could ever thank him enough.

By writing user apps, silly!

Heh, thats what I am trying to do, write a wrapper/manager for the d.net client that ties into the hijack menus. Between finding a 10 line C program that crashed and my nap, I didn't get much done today though.

Yeah I have a couple unfinished apps too... But I *never* feel like programming when I get home because it's what I do for a living... Kinda like how the gynecologist never wants to... ah, nevermind.

I did give the alarm clock thing some time this weekend, but it's Not Quite Ready yet. The lyrics scroller will get my attention after that.

Hey! Any similarities to godness are just an accident of naming. So before y'all get me confused with the BBS SysOp (who is God), just remember I write software with my own best interests at heart: I want my Empeg to work even better!

Thanks Bruno!

Plus Mark is Canadian. Ya!

Bruno

eh!

> That functionality could be minor work to add to the current player and emplode

You are right. It would be minor work to add to the current player, but without player source, it would require some major hacking to get it working with the way things are now and I've seen no indication that this functionality may be added to the player.

Emplode would rot

Oh, I doubt that . If you reimplement the player (completely) from scratch, I'll make emplode talk to it.

Deal?

No OggVorbis support

We've said it before, we'll say it again: If someone can find (or write) an LGPL- or BSD-licensed integer implementation of Ogg Vorbis, then we'll consider integrating it.

Yes, I'm sure you would.

You can do this by using a custom shuffle in config.ini
This functionality was in 1.1. I don't know if it is still supported in 2.0

Well, be careful with such promises, they may come back to haunt you.

But with an existing free, open-source, multi-platform implementation (JEmplode), that may be unnecessary.

Brendan at phatnoise is working on a integer based decoder. He said his boss wants to release it as open source when hes done. :-)

Do I see an Empeg-Phatnoise partnership on the horizon???

True, but (especially in terms of UI) that's a pale shadow of my plans for that feature...
