AMP v1.0 Worklog

I'd love it if you made #3 an option that we could choose in the preferences or something.

I know that I personally have several albums I listen to that have a variety of artists. I want to listen to the album itself, so I've had to create playlists for these albums.

I agree!

Hey guys

I just wanted to show you what I've been working on. I know I haven't released a version of AMP in a while.. I've been working on a lot of different areas of AMP, ie, quicker importers, XML imports, better graphic routines for grabbing the album art, etc. Also this utility module, and a plugin manager.

I'm posting some screenshots of the "disk utility" module from AMP. It's fully functional as of now. I may go ahead and release this version of AMP without the plugin manager, as that's still a bit of work left. I've rewrote the plugin stuff too so it's really easy as a dev to make anything for AMP..

Anyway.. I'm trying to keep the same look & feel for AMP.. Notice the new buttons on the scroll bars for up & down.

This is the "main menu"..

A simple set of disk utilities, as requested by someone.. (dave?)

The media importer.. Lets you import music/movies/photos from an external source (ie jump drive, hard drive, DVD, etc)

Music file importer screen

Photo file importer screen.. Notice how you pick the album you want it to be importer into..

And the upgrader.. Its pretty cool. You give it the new AMP path, and it copies it over and restarts AMP.

ANyway... I hpoe you like this

I continue to be impressed by this software. Keep it up.

[Insert obligatory "Make it fullscreen at 800x600" comment here]

Edit:

Is the link one the first post the latest edition? If it isn't, maybe edit that post and always have the newest one at the top? This bad boy changes so much and so often, I want to have the latest edition. Thanks!

Ran into a strange issue last night with the last version (no mods done).

I updated iTunes to add some songs and change a play list. I reran the import and everything looked fine. When I played the play list, it appeared to be my entire library (or at least a lot of stuff that shouldn't be in the list).

I double checked iTunes and the playlist didn't have the songs that were being played. I reimported from iTunes again and that took care of it.

No idea what happened, but thought I would pass it on anyway.

REmember to remove app prefs and then re-import :-)

I've had this happen as well. I've been pretty busy, so I haven't had a chance to test my theory, but I believe that it did this to me after I updated with iTunes open. I'm not sure if I was changing things while iTunes was open or not. But I know that the second time I imported, I made a point of closing iTunes, and I had no problem. Also, I believe my iPod was connected at the time of the first import. Maybe that's the problem... food for thought, if someone has the time to try a few of those combinations.
