Hey guys, First I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful feedback to help us get were we are today......
new for this release:
1. completely stand alone, does not piggyback any other software all decoding of mp3's are done by our software.
2. superfast database update times, beats winamp, and Windows media player in 1/3 the time...
3. sonique visualizations have been ported over to our app. we will continue with winamp, wmp plugins in the near future.
4. we also included a mini visualization in the upper right corner that can be used in conjuction with the main visual too.
5. DVD playback, also being decoded by our software, no need for a DVD player codec.
6. Video file playback

Have Fun with it and give us plenty of feedback, we are working really hard at making this the best software for the carPC.

Sweet another interfacer for the carputer...

Im installing now....


Ohh yea 1st reply!

Will it play radio...and ifso what hardware is supported?

It will support radio, we are in negotiation with a few manufacturers of USB Radios, as we fine tune the player over the next couple weeks, the next step will be an Plugin interface for our CECU, (already in beta testing) this allows you to turn the key on, the pc powers up, turn the key off and the pc hibernates. once pc is off, the power supply to the cpu is disconnected via a relay to eliminate dead batterys if you leave your vehicle parked for long periods of time.. the power supply for our cpu is integrated with the C.E.C.U. as well as a bank of 8 relays and 3 inputs. Plugins will be added reguraly.
Thanks again,
Mike

What other plugins? I know for my system DVD/Video (DivX)/Radio/MP3/Visualizations/Skinnability/GPS (this is a big one)/rear view cam/Voice controlled/TTS are absolutly crucial.

It looks like you have a good solid base and i cant wait to see when you start adding some more goodies

WAHOO!!! Finally :D
Going to try this tomorrow!

GPS is a major plugin. that will be one of our first ones, we are testing many differnant types of GPS recievers as well as software, we will keep you all posted.
as of now it is skinnable, however we wont be making a skin editor until just before the final version one is released. im sure some of you will figure it out on your own for now.
does support DVD, Video, and MP3 now, future enhancements are: Radio, Relay control, PDA Remote interface, GPS, OBDII, and CAN bus.
structure of MMC is designed that other hardware manufacturers can make plugins for there devices to work with this software.

Great... I like what I see... I will install it this weekend

i remember that second visualisation, i had it about 5 years ago when i used sonique

thats what i stated, we ported over the visuals from sonique so you could start downloading and using them, we started with sonique because I feel it had better visuals than winamp, but we will support all of them, just takes time
