Wow! This new build is awesome!

Sorry guys, we're not allowed to release it :-(

Maybe Drakino, Mark Lord or Firefox31 or one of the other guys at "The Meet!" will pop in with some other details later on. A pity you all couldn't make it :-(

Other than stability (which is always good), any new features?

What I really want when I reinstall my empeg: SOUP VIEWS (database-derived virtual "playlists")

Creating manual playlists in something like Emplode or Jemplode was fine the first time around, but I have so many othe things on my plate that I'd really like to just dump music onto the player in the future without any care as to where I'm dumping it. It's always properly tagged, so simple display/sort options for ARTIST, TITLE, ALBUM, etc. will work well.

So, no one posting a BBS simulcast of the meet's goings-on? Some of poor bastards have to stay away and work.

Unfortunately we don't have an Internet connection here at the meet. I am posting this using a 19200k dial-up link on my new pocket pc.

Rest assured though, we are all having a great time...

Not quite as good as a simulcast, but here goes:

First we saw [censored] then talked about [censored]. Then we had food. Then more [censored]. Oh, and can't forget [really censored] and the [censored] stuff.

No surely this Using non-standard cache size 374 (bonus 16Mb, adjustment 0) is mean. It's the output at startup on 2.01 on a 32mb mk2a.

Using mp3's encoded at 160kbps its now about 17mins between disc spin ups

Soups? How passe! But I think I saw them in there someplace, as lessor features..

Now the automatic [censorted] using a [censorted] connected to the [censorted] port is truly awesome. I even have a [censored] to bring home for general use .. cannot wait to try it all out.

Now in the Heathrow lounge getting pissed.

cheers

Don't forget about Patrick's new, spur of the moment (Censored), which - by the way - he has already completely redesigned and routed a PCB for this morning! First prototype should be ready in about (Censored) from what I hear this evening, depending on whether he can get the (Censored) in sufficient quantities.

It's going to be about oooh, at least (Censored) hours or so? if Patrick gets the (Censored) working in the next few days in between doing tuners. Now that will be something!

Oh, geee, I think I leaked some censored information there. At least for those who know.

How friendly is the automatic [censored] wrt the two 'stolen' [censored] used in my first hijack hack? Will it coexist nicely? Or will I have to reprioritise?

EDIT: Is it me or is the automatic censoring on this board flaky now? It keeps censoring out large parts of the sentence, not just an offending word. I guess that'll teach me to not type the word shit as a shortcut for writing [censored]

You guys are killing us!

It is murder...but nice murder. Cool things to come...memories of getting a Top Secret CD last year. Dang, I wish I could have gone, but I've got to say that swirl of mystery around Amersfoort surprises is a budding tradition I can't complain about. The Guys keep showing up with magic. I hope I can get there next year.

In the meantime......Hey, Stu, can you do a reverse vasectomy on my MIC input????

No, surely my asking whether anyone's yet tried the third release -- the one which never spins up -- is mean.

True enough Peter. But both of mine are running 2.01 now and the disc hardly spins up which is I'm happy with.

*ahem*

Version 2.01?!?!?!?

I know there has been a lot of hinting, but that was assumed to be a new alpha. This sounds very interesting...

Yep,

and people have not yet asked anything about #3

Peter: I've been wanting to, but haven't found the time yet. Then again, this release might spark new life into other parts of the BBS

I hope to update Hijack to fully serve that third player release -- but the backlog here means this won't happen until at least August, unless I get bored here .

all the new releases now detect more memory if its available. Although I found for the 1st time I'm now using reservecache. Although that said, I've configured it to start more as well.

Can't remember much else. Beer must have degaussed my memory
