I was waiting to see how long it would be before anybody else noticed this :)

Why two symbols - is the iconify not considered to be enough? (I had to refresh to see them, I still had the earlier graphic.) Still cool though.

Kick arse! Not just pretty to look at, they work too  :-)

It's more immediately recognisable this way, though :)

I wonder what actual function could be assigned to the Front/Back bit of the graphic...

If you think Wayne underutilized the Intuition gadget functionality, you should see my excuse here (http://voicesofaorg.extropia.co.uk/). Only the close gadget and dragbar actually do anything.

I went there (http://voicesofaorg.extropia.co.uk/), when I click on the icons am I supposed to hear anything? (because I don't get any sounds.)

You probably don't have a browser plugin that can stream mp3 files directly. Otherwise you should see your plugin embed itself in the player window...

That's quite likely, I did let you have scripting privileges though... and I'm sure I've played mp3s directly from sites in the past - but I've not done that recently (Firefox3 these days, and it's fairly locked down unless I relax security - which I don't usually do).

What plugin(s) would you recommend?

Far out! I had to tweak my color scheme to see 'em. Nice addition.

None. Browser plugins are an anathema :roflmao:

Seriously, try right click and "save as", the icons are direct links to the files anyway.

Totem media player's browser plugin works for me:

I've just tried drag'n'drop into Deliplayer2, but no dice there. However, I have Interclue, and it has tons of linky-type options, and somehow I've got something that let me d/l to my desktop (although I did get 8 copies!) and that can be dropped into Deli... so I can now say:

Karlos! You sound truly Mancy. :lol:


Ed: hmm, right-click, save as... yes, that would do it too - odd that I didn't do that before, maybe because there didn't seem to be any response that I would normally get. Usually, if I click on mp3 I get the "What do you want to do" requester, and that was not coming up, so I think I just assumed that it wasn't working properly.

Which is odd, considering I'm from Teesside :p

Is it cheating if you don't use an Amiga? My DSS8 is in its box.

Shouldn't "User CP" be renamed to "Prefs" too? :lol:

There's no requirement for that, no. Though there are some tell tale artifacts in some of the recordings that make me wonder if some guys didn't use a parallel port sampler (or digitizer as we used to call them in the good old days :))
