Hi,

What's the status of development? Is it continuing or has it ceased? I checked out the website and there have been no updates since June.

yea i have been wondering the same but i do know that there is a beta vers. out.

Dear Supporters, some news for you:
There is a beta of our new version available for public access from:
OTA: http://www.dollars5.com/QA1/mediaPlayer.jad
Desktop Install: http://www.dollars5.com/QA1/mediaPlayer.zip

The following are the improvements:
1] Added Last.fm scrobbling (Let the world know what song you listen at present - more details from Last.fm – The Social Music Revolution site)
2] Added Last.fm radio player (listen to tracks as you wish - search by tag or artist and stream the songs - make sure you have very good bandwidth and set the radio buffer level to a larger value - it is very high bandwidth streaming)
3] Added support for side volume control keys
4] Added 'Auto detect' audio path - some good news for Bt users (adjustable from settings screen)
5] Improved Internet Radio streaming
6] Wall paper changing (adjustable from settings screen)
7] Seek audio/video support
8] Auto detect new codecs as supported by the device platform (preparation for the possible WMA support)
9] Battery/Signal level
10] Auto Start playlist on startup (adjustable from settings screen)
11] Auto Stop at duration or at low/set battery level (adjustable from settings screen)
12] Improved Crossfade (adjustable from settings screen)
13] Forward and rewind for videos by percentage set in settings

There is some bad news for the XM Radio and Sirius fans - both seems to stream in WMV format which is not supported at present by RIM Platform at present - we are working on alternatives that will allow us to stream the satellite radios without violating their Terms of Service (we could transcode at our server and re-broadcast - but that violates the TOS of Sirius and XM - also puts a load on our servers

)

A few more secret features to be announced sooner - so stay tuned. We really would appreciate your feedback on the features and suggestions to improve further.

I like to purchase it asap please.

As for A2DP support - we have not tested on 8820 - but a few beta testers said they got it worknig (there is no solid confirmation on this) - you can try it out and let others know - you cooperation - would really be appreciated.

Thank you sir
I downloaded it right now and will use it and let you know the outcome. Mind you I am in London UK and the radios here might not be supported or are they? We shall find out.

If you have an IP for the Internet Radio station - you can always listen to it from anywhere (make sure you have an unlimited data plan else you will get a huge bill

) - only thing that will affect you might be the GPRS signal strength - should you have good signal - you can listen continously without any problems.
