hi,

i just wanted to let everyone know that i've been working on a m:robe 100 library in c# which handles all the indexing and renaming of files into m:robe 100 format.

using this library anyone could then go forth to easily build a real competitor to m:trip by adding a GUI on top.

thats all,

alexkreuz

i know nuts about programming so i'll take your word for it alex.

When you say competitor to mTrip, do you mean something that is quite different to robeslicker's tried and tested syncdrop or terrySolid's in development G:sync?

jamelikat

hmm yea .. i mean a real application ..

syncdrop is a command line perl script and im not sure how g:sync interacts with it, but its just a face on top of syncdrop ..

by m:trip competitor i mean that we, the community, can determine the file menu, how to load files, how to edit files, etc. etc. etc.

it would be more in line with M:2 (the java version) ..

right now ive got my script processing all mp3s that i place in the ROOT\Music folder .. it doesnt rename them or anything .. I hate the M1240001.mp3 file format, so it keeps the original file names ..

the sync file is in ROOT\mrobe.exe

all you do is drag and drop your mp3s to the ROOT\Music folder and double click on ROOT\mrobe.exe and it compiles the index files for you ..

that is what it is right now .. however because i took the time to write actual classes for the mrobe interaction rather than one main loop, these classes can be reused for future mrobe development so that the syncing wont have to be rewritten again in the future ..

Is it possible to build in the ability to sync photos in a way that:

- you drag and drop a photo folder named 'holiday2006' and those photos will actually appear in an album named 'holiday2006' on the mr500?

jamelikat

maybe so but my mrobe 100 doesnt have support for pictures so i have no way of implementing it since i dont even know what i would be doing .. i dont have a mrobe 500

OK, no problem, re photos. Just a thought.

jamelikat

maybe some smart guy with mr500 will pick up on this later!
