An alpha version of MyTunes is now available. Far from feature-complete but certainly useful as a starting point (it plays music from a library either sequentially or randomly).

my MusicMan (see earlier Drobe review) software outputs music files to a structured (by artist/album) !MyMusic directory. It sounds like what you're doing is complementary, so is there room for some compatibility? It'd be nice if some of these music apps worked together. |

In reply to arawnsley:
Yep, certainly would be nice to have some tighter integration. With the alpha version available, users would have to manually drag the "!MyMusic" directory to the "Update library" window in !MyTunes.
But an interface so that third-party apps can update the music library, query currently playing tracks etc. would definitely be a good thing.
One thought which springs to mind is the number of blogs with an "I'm listening to..." field, which could be automatically set from !MyTunes [using whatever system they use to do that]. |

If there was a chance of playing Ogg Vorbis files, then I could test these apps to their limit (I have over 12,000 tracks)!
 whats the chances of Ogg playback support? |

possible; even inevitable eventually. Where it comes in the priority list, however, is up for debate  |

Any chance of MusicMan supporting a 'user named' !MyMusic directory?
My partner and I share music so calling a shared resource 'My' anything has always struck me as a little odd. Much of the music we own is our music and not mine nor hers

As a new user of Artworks, I'm glad to hear about the developments. Export of huge bitmaps is something which will be very useful to me. |

In reply to blahsnr:
RO select/adjust's Choices structure should help - pop !MyMusic in the appropriate user's choices directory, or even user home, and there you go. If you don't have Select/adjust or a fileserver, you can make personal directories on your drive and pop !MyMusic in it - that way whichever user's "work" directory is viewed would be the active one. Changing them would just be a double click. Finally, you could rename the directories, and tweak the !Sprites files, as there's nothing too magical.
Erm. I've gone into too much detail for a message I think. Drop me an email if you want to know more. |

didn't Andre Timmermans release some beta Ogg Vorbis decoder for !DigitalCD a couple of years ago? I remember exchanging some emails with him on the subject since I was developing a hardware Vorbis decoder as part of my MSc... the common problem at that time was converting all the maths in the inverse MDCT to fixed point and there were many different versions floating around all based on pre-1.0 libvorbis. Now, there is the official 'tremor' integer-only codec which is available under a BSD-like software license, but I think !DigitalCD still uses Andre's own version. |

!DigitalCD does do Ogg Vorbis |

DigitalCD plays Oggs just fine. As does, if you bother to check Drobe articles, my port of ogg123, which indeed uses Tremor. |

And it may or may not be worth mentioning that DigitalCD will happily play Ogg streams as well as just files. |

v0.02 of MyTunes has just been released. No Ogg Vorbis yet, but numerous bug fixes and additional functionality.
Unfortunately, any existing libraries will need to be rebuilt; but there's now the option of using any ID3 tags to build up the list.
Its available to download from the above address and there's an updated screenshot at:

I've downloaded the latest version of !ROTunes (the Mr Vigay offering) and it looks nothing like the screenshots i've seen, in fact the scroll bars etc. are all over the place (maybe it doesn't like RISC OS Adjust) hope this gets fixed and we get a proper apple iTunes skin , but other than that its very fast and plays all my MP3's (about 2000 of them) fine. heres to hoping it gets fixed soon |

ive tried RO Tunes, and it decodes MP3s with no trouble on my Red Squirrel 0.6 emulator with RISC OS 4. 2 on it, running on a 1.6 GHz Intel Dell laptop, emulating at 22 mips |
