MusicIP Integration
Monday, 07 May 2007
For instructions on installing and configuring MusicIP for use with SwissCenter, click here.

The latest version of SwissCenter (1.16) integrations support for the MusicIP application, providing a powerful "play similar songs" feature through the creation of acoustic fingerprints of each track in your collection.

When MusicIP is installed onto the same machine that is running SwissCenter an extra option is enabled which allows you to generate a random playlist of songs which are similar to a song you select.

For example, say you want to listen to a mixture of easy going music then you would simply select a base song which reflects the type of mood you are looking for (for example: Come away with me by Norah Jones). On the menu between "Play Now" and "Add to Playlist" you will see a new option :- "Play similar songs". When you choose this option, SwissCenter (in conjunction with the MusicIP application) will start to play a collection of similar songs to the one selected (the length of the playlist, and how often an artist can be repeated can all be controlled from the SwissCenter configuration pages).

MusicIP is available as both a free download and a premium paid-for version from www.musicip.com. SwissCenter only requires the free version, however if you use this feature a lot then It would be nice to support MusicIP buy upgrading to the premium version (and no, I don't get any commission!).

Hidden Feature...
Saturday, 16 September 2006

I almost forgot to mention that there's a new feature in 1.15 that a lot of people have been asking for... and that's the ability to jump through the many pages of files that are displayed when you are in "Browse Filesystem" mode.

Simply press any number on the remote control between 1 and 9 and you will jump to the relevant page (1 = first page, 9 = last page).

 

Multi-Language
Tuesday, 16 August 2005

I'm currently in the process of adding multi-language support to the SwissCenter and would appreciate help with translations of the english into other languages.

If you would be prepared to help with the translations, please post to the forums as to which language you can help with.

Update...

I've finally finished updating all the code to support multiple languages and the english language file is now available for translation. Those people who have kindly offered their support can now download the en.txt file and begin the translations.
