Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Madman: Great. That did it! I hadn't noticed before that there was such a preferences menu, and then what it meant. (Again, a need for some basic instructions for dummies?) There appear to be so many different ways to adjust volume on the N800. Thanks for your quick clarification on this. By the way, you seem to be missing the opening line or two in this last posted message of yours (see above). Regards, Jim

Madman: Further to the above. Everything is working fine with my mp3 selections. As an experiment, I have ripped a selection from a CD in ogg format. It comes up fine on YouAmp, looking exactly the same as my mp3 selections. However, it doesn't play. Any thoughts? Thanks and regards, Jim

it should play fine; it takes just a bit longer to start the track.

Madman: I solved the problem -- by installing Ogg Support from the Application Manager!

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

As of an update yesterday, Youamp is working fine.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Madman: I need further advice, in that I believe I have bricked MyAmp! In testing whether an ogg file would play (which it eventually did) I copied an ogg music file to a separate mmc, inserted it in my external slot and MyAmp, as I said, eventually played it fine. However, after I removed that trial mmc (with its trial ogg file) and reinserted my regular 4GB mmc, which contains most of my music, MyAmp wouldn't work. I went into xterm, entered myamp-player, and it came up with an error message that it couldn't find the particular ogg file, which I had experimented with. I'd subsequently deleted that file from the extra mmc, so it's not a matter or merely reinserting it into the external slot and letting MyAmp find it again in its scanning process. As a trial solution, I uninstalled MyAmp and reinstalled it, thinking that it wouldn't "remember" the missing ogg file -- but no such luck. Even though My Amp is now a reinstalled version on my N800, it still apparently "remembers" its (beloved?) missing ogg file. It's almost human! Any thoughts?

could you paste the exact message you get on the console? That would help me debugging.

If you want to make YouAmp forget about the song, you have to delete its music library. That is "rm /home/user/.musicdb".

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

Madman: Thanks. Removing .musicdb solved the problem.

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

So far this program is great! I checked out the source from svn and have started to poke around a little, is there any chance that we could get some developers documentation (comments in the code itself, or something similar to a uml diagram) so that we can start helping you hack away?

Re: YouAmp - yet another Music player for Maemo
 

I surley will document the code when something gets stable, but currently everything is a bit messy and especially the ui code needs a cleanup, so I dont want waste time on documenting it.

But basically everything is where you would expect it. (ie. look at the file names)
