Beta 3 is now available on our website. Sorry again for the delay between releasing beta 1 and this release. I think we have solved the release issues we were having. We have fixed a lot of the baddies in beta 1 but rumor has it there are still bugs lurking in our beloved product... please pound on this and let us know about them. elrod ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev

About .... everything
This mail maybe isn't exactly for freeamp-dev but i hope you will be able to use it. I found freeamp recently and i really love it. Except for its numerous bugs and 20% more time consuming it beats winamp undoubtedly. Speed isn't something you should worry about (too much) but bugs maybe you should clear all bugs before implementing new features... I compiled & tested 2.0.7 & 2.1beta1 with WC 6.0 (Visual C) on W95 osr2 and: 1) 2.0.7 doesn't compile clean and is not stable so i want mention it anymore. you should remove it from homepage. (the source, i mean) About 2.1beta1 2) there are still warnings wich could & should be resolved with casts (i think it's faster to do it yourself than to implement my changes so i'm not sending anything) 3) you're not killing threads correctly. after few minutes there is more than 400 active threads In 256 colors resolution it really sucks: 4) switching between windows messes color palete 5) minimize & help work. open equilizer, switch view & quit crashes in different ways, raises asserts, even kills OS. 6) Apply Option crashes OS. Actually, almost everything crashes. 7) In options menu when changing bettween 'tabs' screen is redrawn in a 'strange' way. 8) Moving window with equilizer shown loses equilizer and crashes later. There is more, but this is enough for start. In My music window: 9) in change info on multiple items there's something wrong. sometimes it works, sometimes it crashed, it is too slow, and last time it TRUNCATED TO ZERO LENGTH 3 albums (different subdirs) With disk editor i recovered it, OK, lost few frames on begining because it wrote file info booth on begining & end of stream !! My music minors: 10) the tree is redrawn strangly, mouse blinks too much 11) double click in empty space starts song again OK, this was a bug report. (Sorry, but I hate bugzilla.)

after compile in VC6++
well I have buil the freeamp, whit some changes and I decided show it to my friends, but when I run it in the computer of my school it produces me an error "Error, there isn't this file VSC6OD.dll", obviously if I had this file I can run without problem, but if I want redistribuite it to all my friends, all they will need this file, how can I do to fix it (for dont asking for this file)? another question how can I do an intallation file? is necesary have install shield pro, (cos with the intallshiel of VS6, gives me an error, prototyping of dll is not suported in intallshield of VS6) Thanks a lot!!!

Re: Help files
We may want to base any XML help approach on JavaHelp. Sun has defined a simple and general file format for platform independent, context-sensitive help files. See http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/spec-1.0.pdf. Obviously Freeamp is not implemented in Java, but it doesn't appear that the raw XML format defined by Sun necessarily implies use in Java programs. We could use Sun's DTDs as a starting point for our approach. It shouldn't be too hard for me to develop a standalone tool that processes help files in this format and outputs some intermediary files that can be fed to native, platform specific helpfile distiller applications. I must say that I personally don't feel like doing XML I/O in anything other than Java (but since it's an auxiliary support tool, I hope Java wouldn't be too much of a problem). Anyone think this approach has merit? c At 11:12 PM 5/31/2000 -0700, you wrote: >It would be nice to be able to use the same format for both platforms.
