I'd like to be able to be able to download the low bitrate files from the central using JEmplode. I'm willing to do the work myself, but I have a question...

What java files handle the file transfers for the Central?

I have attempted to do some tracing, but all the files relating to the GUI do a good job of obscuring where the relevant code is.

BTW, would anyone else use this feature?

Actually, I figured it out. Turns out that Netbeans 4.0 isn't quite yet ready for real use yet. I fired up my copy of Netbeans 3.6 and my code worked like a champ.

Is anyone else interested in this? I'd be happy to clean it up a bit and hand it over to the owner of Jemplode.

I guess I don't understand the essence of your question...I currently use jEmplode to transfer files from my Central to my PC and they are encoded at 256K. Are you saying that jEmplode won't do the same thing with 64K files or something? Thanks, Randy

Right. He's saying that the Central has the ability to make both high-bitrate and low-bitrate files at the same time. (It does this by default, in fact, and you have to specifically turn off the feature if you don't use portables.) And when you use the Download feature in Jemplode, it's only bothering to download the high-bitrate files.

Personally, I would only ever WANT the high bitrate files and don't see the point. Anything below 128 and stuff starts to sound downright horrible. But to each his own. I can understand that someone might want to do this.

Ahhh, I forgot about that feature. I turned that off in the first five minutes(!) since I didn't have one of the compatible portables.

Yeah, it's a rather cool feature, but it only is worth anything directly from the central if you have a compatilbe portable. I have one of the old psa[plays (upgraded to 512 + 32M) and I have also taken to playing mp3s on my Nokia 6600 symbian phone.

So, I have patched JEmplode to download the low BR files so I can slap them on my 1G MMC card in my cell phone. Now the feature can be available to non-compatible portables (and cell phones too).

Here's the patch to be able to download the low bit rate files.

I also patched JEmplode to work with Java 1.4.x and 1.5.x.
There was a subtle change with class naming in 1.4 and "enum" became a keyword in Java 1.5.
