Thread: FreeICE v2 anyone ?

I did a little comparison last night when I loaded up FreeICE v1.92 on my laptop at home.. FreeICE 2 seems a lot faster to be honest :-) more smooth and less jerky. My laptops a SU1300 1.3 Dell thingy so I'm quite happy about that. I also took the plunge and bought a miniitx board and cpu off eBay.. Gigabyte board with a intel i5 650 chip (£105 all in).. it's going to be faster than all my pc's put together.. lol Just need to get a case / screen / psu now then I'm in business

When it's released it might be worth adding a html / htm / lnk or type of url into a folder.. and then loading it into the audio browser and see what happens.

Let me get it released first and we will have a go.

Yes, Pandora is just a Internet radio. You go to "pandora.com" make an account and a station and start listening to music. I do not think Windows Media Player excepts streams but if it did I'm pretty sure it wouldn't with pandora. I'm sure you could basically make an app that goes onto their website and just skin over the top of it. I think I remember seeing a app for centrafuse that does that (I think). Pandora is flashed based so I don't think it would be too hard for you.

We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

So, CDR would need to use a proxy to get around this to test it.

yep proxy would be needed.. not a problem :-) I will have a play once I get something released.

One step closer.... Audio browser nearly done now :-)



Added icons and fixed a couple of bugs I had stuck in from bad coding.. all working as it should now. I've also added loading the first jpg it finds at the album cover, just the tag reading left now.. quick tidy up and release time

more to come...

Well that really stinks. They must have done that when they almost went under a few years back.

Yep it's when it all kicked off if I remember rightly :-(

Good to see you are still around Steve. The new version looks awesome. Can't wait to try it.

Hi Meddler,

Jezz, lots of old peeps about, hope you are well :-)

Release of alpha 1 will be within the hour, just doing some final tests....
