Now here was a program that blew my mind.
When I first stumbled across ANR v2, I was impressed. I still am. So easy to use & accessible. It had a good few options too, making it pretty darn powerful in my books.
KennyR, before I go any further, note this: I DO like this program... Okay?
But. Dropping AmigaOS support does NOT make me happy. Suggesting that people 'upgrade' & making it blatantly obvious that you are refering to an upgrade to MorphOS is ,IMHO, simply wrong.
There are people out here who ARE upgrading. Be it from AmigaOS 2.x > 3.5 or 3.9. Upgrading their systems with PCI busboards with sound card support & of course upgrading to an AmigaOne with AmigaOS 4.0. They are all classed as upgrades are they not? You're not suggesting that people upgrade to more memory, a faster processor, have lights installed that flash in time with frequencies below 40Hz or whatever, but completely change their choice of OS. The underlying OS shouldn't even come into it, Quake runs on everything doesn't it?
Your little intro comes across like MorphOS is the ONLY option for upgrading.
We hope many more users will upgrade to what we believe is the future of Amiga and the way to go
Even though all of the above systems are perfectly capable of playing mp3 streams (Which is basically what ANR does).
I am not asking you to reconsider, your decision is your decision, but please do not deliberately, & unnecessarily, distance yourself (And your projects) from what is effectively half of your potential user base. This really does come across as a Blue Vs Red issue & personally I am sick of it.
I would like to develop software for the platform & politics aside, if both systems can handle what I would like to do, both systems will get what I do. Simple.
It's not even like the systems you are recommending that people upgrade
from cannot carry out the task. Also worth noting, I would guess that there are also more users of the aforementioned system, meaning more users & supporters can use your creation & when they choose to upgrade further, they will be more inclined to support & follow your work & other projects.
If it's of ANY interest to you. I have had a little try & on 3.9 it seems to run.
... ... ... If I remember right, when I read the news about ANR v2 here I said something like, keep up the good work. Hmmm...
Yours, slightly disheartened, FuZion.
