Fantastic news, just hope it will be free as before :-) Good move A-Eon !

Blimey. Wasn't expecting that!

@Chris
You can say that again! Anyway, seems like good news

Good news indeed, Thanks Amigakit for posting this on our site.

I'm a little curious. In the past, companies have bought up rights to Amiga software, but did not have the developers to update/port the software. I'm curious to know the development team Trevor has built up to tackle Tunenet, DVPlayer, ImageFX, et al.

I know that Andy and Hans are on the team. Is there anyone else?

@interrogative

I assume they must have an audio guy (or gal.. maybe) for the Prisma, OctaMED and now TuneNet.

Hope to see an updated version with fixed search of radio stations.

I could make lots small improvement suggestions that would greatly improve TuneNet for me, such as:

* Show the current track's full path, so I can find the actual file. Ideally on the main UI, but otherwise in the Info Window.

* Optionally show the full path in the playlist, so it can be sorted (and searched) by path.

* Remember the last-played track, and select that when starting TuneNet. (I've got huge playlists, so finding what I was playing last time is almost impossible.) Ideally this would work without needing TuneNet to quit (say due to rebooting after an AmigaOS or TuneNet crash).

* Show the track position bar on the main UI, rather than hidden at the bottom of the Tune tab.

* Enabling Shuffle should NOT immediately move to the next track. This behaviour is very non-standard, and causes unwanted behaviour. Fixing it would be a minor inconvenience to any who likes this behaviour, as they merely need to click Next Track after enabling Shuffle.

* "Open Playlist" should default to starting in PROGDIR:Playlists folder, rather than just PROGDIR:. And preferably it should remember the last folder you were in (at least until you close TuneNet).

* Add an extra AmigaDOS parameter to TuneNet, which prevents it from starting if it's not already running. This is useful if you want to control TuneNet using FKey, but don't want accidental key presses to launch it (I created an AmigaDOS+ARexx script to do this...).


Someone suggested an ARexx interface for TuneNet. That would certainly be very useful, but it'd be a relatively big undertaking, and it's not strictly necessary - TuneNet already takes AmigaDOS parameters to control it (but see above).

Also, TuneNet sometimes crashes when you open the Info Window of particular MP3s, presumably due to unexpected/corrupted image information. So it needs more sanity checks on MP3s.

Tunenet is a nice software. Let's hope for some new and improved versions in the future. :-D

Thanks Chris, you wishlist is duly noted.

Whilst we're on wishlists, since I moved my music collection off of JXFS I encountered the following annoyance:
When adding a folder, the contents are added in "filesystem order", which is entirely random on anything other than JXFS. I'd like added folders to add the tracks in alphabetically-sorted order.

I'd also like a way of making "Edit Functions" the default, as I don't usually bother with playlists the find option is pointless.
