  • playlist Drag Drop support using prototype and scriptaculous
  • Play music anywhere on the file system
  • Flash player (the famous jw media player) on by default
  • Streaming (M3U playlist) without mode switching

There are a few bugs we want to squash before uploading the beta, but expect a release in the next 2-3 weeks.

Go try the latest version now, its pretty cool.

Now, a question.  GrammaFone has been tested on firefox and safari, but has trouble on IE.  I hate IE, but should we support it or not?

http://demo.grammafone.com has been updated, so give it a shot.

And it is very nice to use.  Niro has done a great job.

If you want to try this on the demo site, remember that the flash player is not the default play mode.  You have to turn it on in your account options, log out and log back in.  This will be resolved soon too.

We have a couple of blocker issues we are looking at but the first release is coming along nicely.

Full playlist support is not quite finished, but should be soon at this rate. If you want to try this out, remember to switch from the default streaming mode and login again to see the flash player.

If you’ve got some time, please play with the latest trunk and let us know how it goes in the support forum.

Cheers!

This means drag/drop playlist sorting now works correctly!  Thanks Niro.
