Folks,

An update on how things are progressing with 0.1.3:

1. Random support for the current "queue 'n play" approach
- done

2. Chris' Jukebox mode (more below) - looking good, BUT NOTE THAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH JRECEIVER

3.1. Automatically synchonise all players listening to the same internet radio station - done

3.2 Give "slave players" more control over what is being played - in progress

4. Web-based interface - sorry, but deferred to 0.1.4

5. Playlist support for ARM users - done

6. Windows installer - deferred to 0.1.4

7. Line out fix - deferred to 0.1.4

8. Change play order for Artist->All to Album/Track instead of alphabetical - not started, but I'll try my best for 0.1.3.

At our current rate of progress I think we're about 2 or 3 weeks off have something ready for testing.

On Chris' Jukebox mode, instead of queueing up music to be played (as in the current "Queue 'n Play" mode), you instead position yourself in your music collection and it plays from there.

You browse your collection as an expandable and collapsable tree. The highest level of the tree lists all the artists, each of which can be expanded to show all their albums. Expanding an album then shows all its tunes. And so the structure is artist->album->track. Chris might also build in an alternate genre->artist->album->track structure.

Currently it supports a random playback "across the entire collection", but Chris will also be adding "within the current artist", "within the current album" and possibly, "within current genre" - time permitting.

Cheers
Paul
