new project ???

[sbooth]

At some point it will, yes. I just grabbed the new cdparanoia code and unfortunately it doesn't compile for OS X. Once I backport my changes from the old paranoia that I made to get it working on OS X I will give the new version a try.

sbooth how is the Max development progressing? Do you have an expected release date for the new version? Are there any interesting or exciting additions to Max in the next release that you would like to share with us?

Any news? XLD does somehow have the latest paranoia compiled but the developer is making me wonder about some other directions he's taking.

I am working on the extraction user interface- I have had working code for >9 months, but nothing ready for anyone buy myself. I still hope to have a public beta test starting no later than Oct 15.

Hmmm. Oct. 12 is my birthday.

Looking forward to seeing the new MAX!

I just hope the format selection is a bit less intimidating --- that window scares me.

Any progress on the new project?

[sbooth]

I've actually made quite a bit of progress over the past week. Things still aren't quite in shape for me to release a beta- maybe another two weeks (I know, I know, I keep saying that).

[eighteesix]

Is this app you're working on something that will rival XLD, EAC, or dbpoweramp?

[Lenny]

Of course we're patient and all, but have you had any progress recently?

[sbooth]

I'm just not quite ready to release a public beta yet. If anyone is interested in helping with a closed beta, please contact me.

In the meantime, I've created a skeleton product page that I will be updating as I progress.

My new target is to have the first public beta out by the end of this month.

thanx for the info-update, sbooth. i´m keeping my fingers crossed for your projects.
in the future, when rip is out of beta-status; what will happen to max? will they both get together as rip? or will it be like rip for ripping cds, max for converting audio files?
to give my 2 cents, i would love to see both functions in one app. donno if this is possible because of codes.

btw, nice icon rip have.

I've decided to split out the extraction/conversion portions of Max into two different applications. I'll post more details in a few months.

Hi Stephen - I know peoploe here have asked before but do you have a set date when you'll release the beta? Would be great to know.

Also, will Rip produce a log file for safekeeping?

Many thanks.

Re: date - can't be more precise than 3 posts above. I mean, sure, he could say 11/31/08 @ 11:22 PM, but really? Now, if we get 2 weeks into December, try again.
