How many people use the beeps?

Since I'm currently working sinewave support into hijack, I've had the reason to actually turn the beep volume up whilst debugging. It was one of those features that I turned off very soon after getting my empeg - certainly before it ever got installed into my car.

I've discovered though that the beep feature is well designed - different tone beeps can help you with eyes-off navigation. So I've since turned them back on in DC mode.

Now I've just realised that nothing in the hijack menu beeps, and furthermore, that extensions to allow the hijack menu (and derivatives like Popup0 and friends) shouldn't be too difficult to implement. And they should be able to use the player settings too, so if you currently have them turned off then it shouldn't cause an issue.

So my question is; Is it worth my time? I'm obviously busy with the sinewave code at the moment, and after that I'm probably going to tackle native DSP bass and treble. But if people want this, then I'll add it to my TODO list.

Usage of Player Beeps
I love them, and generally use them all the time
I use them in the car, but not on AC power
I use them on AC power, but not in the car
I hate them with a passion. No thanks

You left out the "what the heck are you talking about?" option.

I noticed the beeps, and just sort of tuned them out.

But if people want this, then I'll add it to my TODO list.

Just so long as it's at the end of the To Do list. I'm dying to get my hands on the other stuff on your list, first.

I'm looking for the "I turned em' off and forgot about 'em, certainly don't hate 'em" category.

Thats the one I wanted

Agreed. I still went for the "I hate them with a passion" option because that option came the closest to my settings (not using them entirely), but the quoted option is actually spot on.

I used to have em turned off too. I thought who the hell would want an annoying bleep everyime you press a button?! Then I came across the option in the menu and decided to try it out - they've been on ever since!

Normally, I hate beeps, but the Empeg ones are so much better than any other HU I've seen. Not only do they have different tones for different meanings, but having 11 steps of adjustment means that they can be unobtrusive. Every other stereo I've used with bleeps has had them so loud they scare me.

I used to always have bleeps on AC (where I use the remote a lot) and not in the car where (where it annoys passengers and makes me look like a luzer). But I haven't got round to re-enabling them after making a bunch of cassette tapes for minibus trips (don't want any beeps on the tape).

What I am saying is - Genixia, if you add bleep support to Hijack, make sure it read's the player's beep-level setting and match it.

It's ironic that you should bring this up now, since I had beeps disabled pretty much from the start..but I "rediscovered" that option a couple of days ago and turned them back on.

I'm still considering whether or not I like them enough now.

No Probs Bob.
