New iPhone SID player
Hi Guys. If anybody is interested my iPhone app for playing mods, SIDs and iPhone media library is now available.
https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/geektunes/id715319265?mt=8
Its not meant to look pretty but its a good "one stop shop" job for me and I wanted to share it with any other Mod/Sid lovers out there.
You can put the C64Music.zip file from HVSC onto the device and it will plays SIDs from the one ZIP file.
I also have song length config files etc that I will be uploading to my site.. once I finish the manual.

I hope somebody finds it useful. If there's enough interest I'll go ahead and port it to Android once I'm finished adding all the features I have in the pipeline.
Cheers

Sweet app! Finally I've got the entire HVSC in my pocket. There's room for improvements, but I guess there will be more features in the future. |

Would be interested in a nice Android port. Using Droidsound so far, but it's got its issues (small ones), but wouldn't mind trying out another player. |

Hi. I probably had the same issues with DroidSound that you do. I didn't get any response from the developer so decided to go ahead with my own player.
I am very keen to port GeekTunes across to Android. The only thing thats stopping me from doing so at the moment is trying to complete the next iPhone version.
I admit the iPhone version was made for me alone at first since I have an "iPod kit" in my car. Not having a remote control kit for Android in my car, I'm just a little worried about how I'd test/implement this feature. Still.. thats one of many features.
Thanks for the interest. I'll get it onto Android at some stage. |

sounds sweet, will give it a try this weekend. thumbs up for importing hvsc!
is there a way to define and save playlists for later use in the car? the would be really awesome!
what sid-engine you are using for replay?
having a dension car-link in my car, too, this would make drive to work and back a little more nice..! :) |

Hi. Yes you can define playlists. In fact you can even select a particular Sid artist and drop their entire tune collection into your playlist. Reyn Ouwehand, Galway and Matt Gray are all in mine.
I used ReSid - same as all the other players ;-)
You can skip back and forth through the playlists with your car remote.
Cheers

seems like i can't reach my phone via the ip you're displaying when starting the ftp server.
and why's there a port 4444 displayed when you define 7410 before?
is there a way to access my non-jailbroken iphone via wlan somehow? that 10.xxx.xxx.xxx ip it reads seems like my o2 mobile ip..
don't have my itunes here at work, so.. ^^ ;)
btw. you should put those to-download files somewhere on a decent webserver, not on mediafire. would be easier if the phone would download the needed files via a click instead of the user having to do it by hand.
if you need some webspace i could give you some megabytes on mine. :)
you could ask the hvsc guys if they may put a useable zip-file for you on their webspace..?
you could even think about social playlists for users to share their playlists for others who could then download them and use them on their phones. dk brought up this idea and i kinda like that thought. :) |

Hi dano. If you can't reach your phone it could be because you have 3G enabled? FTP is for Wifi but it may be getting the address from the 3G. Could be a bug. The FTP implementation is a bit flaky. As you noticed, port 7410 is ignored (I did mention this in the GeekTuned manual - it is a bug which I fixed in the v1.2 version).
I agree with your comments about the config files. Early days tho. I also worry about putting web file download into apps in case web space is changed. I can make the config address configurable but.. Being a Dad with 2 young kids and working full time.. I'm quite surprised GeekTunes got as far as it did. It is a hobby and the return will never match the time invested in it. But I will add your thoughts to my to do list.
I think the big problem with me is that I am not really web savvy. Playlists are only in the app to keep my partner happy.. And she doesn't even know what a mod or Sid file is :-)
Thanks for the purchasing the app - I'll do my best to add features over time. I'm still fighting with getting landscape working properly.. And itching to start an Android port.. And support med files.. And lha support.. And goat tracker.. And... The list just goes on and on! :-) |

I haven't modified the source. It just makes use of it.
Would seem a shame to pull the SID support out of the app. The player list logic is all my code. I could make the source freely available, minus my playerlist code.. ?
Keep in mind this app was written as an easier means of playing my MP3 music library by having big easy to use buttons. SID support is a nice-to-have feature since I find the other players impossible to use while driving. |

if you statically link against the resid code, then you must make the whole sourcecode available (to anyone who buys the app anyway) under a gpl compatible license. whether you modify the resid code is irrelevant. |
