jemplode, time to switch over?

hey folks,

i've been reading alot of good stuff about jemplode. does anyone have a list of the differences (extra features) over the regular emplode? just wondering if i should make the jump over.

thanks

Just in the mood :

- Usable on Any Java Enabled OS ...
- Logo Editor
- Boot anim Editor
- Update of Hijack
- AutoUpdate of Jemplode (I hope soon ...)

Sorry Mike for all I have forgotten ....

Auto update of hijack already, actually

I wrote AutoUpdate of JEmplode not Hijack ...

I know and I was adding the hijack (which you just wrote update of) is actually AutoUpdated

The other guys listed a bunch -- here are some additional things:

1) download w/ playlist directories
2) download filename with variable replacement (i.e. {title}-{tracknr}-{artist}.mp3)
3) Layered soup playlist (By Artist then By Album)
4) Colorized dirty nodes
5) Search for containers (i.e. find all playlist that CONTAIN matches, rather than the matches themselves -- for finding all the playlists that contain a certain tune)
6) Download w/ Hijack (much faster than Empeg protocol download)
7) Variable replacement playlist directories {genre}/{title}.mp3 (for downloads from the soup)
8) Internationalized sorting + Sort articles in the back ("The Birds" sorts as "Birds, The") -- I don't think Emplode does this? (maybe does i18n sorting)
9) Faster release cycle

Those are the things from the release notes anyway ... I'm sure there are other little things.

Mike

Maybe a stupid question, but does JEmplode run on windows? Or is it for the Mac?

Mac/Linux/Windows/whatever - Java is platform independent, right?

Yes, it works in Windows too.

I figured as much. I don't know jack s**t about programming so I don't pretend to.
But I do remember reading something about Java in a mag once and how it was platform independent. That was just a long time ago.
I guess I'll give it a try then!

Thanks!

If you are using Windows XP you will have to have a Java VM installed to be able to open the .jar files that Jemplode uses. Earlier version of windows should have this already installed.

I was just about to make this point. Win XP shipped without a Java VM adn that is why Sun filed a $1 billion anti-trust suit of thier own.

Luckily finding and donwloading a Java VM is easy to do...at least it should be for the people in this forum.
