Hi folks! I'd like to take a moment to update the FreeAmp mailing list with some details on the 1.5 release of FreeAmp. Then, in my next e-mail I'll address some issues regarding the Theme ui and what I can get done with respect to the FreeAmp schedule. In August EMusic laid out a set of reasonable goals for the FreeAmp team to accomplish by November 15th. These goals include: -- A new easier to use user interface -- A more intelligent playlist manager and a music browser to make it easier for someone to download and use music from the net -- A download manager to assist and automate downloading MP3s from the net. -- A few other minor features to make freeamp easier to use all around We have a specification and a schedule for this entire project, and I would really like to share both of those with the FreeAmp community. However, some people at EMusic do not feel comfortable sharing some of the information that is covered in the specification due to some confidentiality agreements that we must honor with our partners. I hope that during the next revision of FreeAmp we will not have that limitation. So, the above features will need to get into beta by october 18th and a final release on November 15th. I intend to do my best to keep this schedule, which unfortunately will mean that I will have to say no to some of the feature requests that are coming in. --ruaok Freezerburn!
