gah!!! mercora.com seems to be down now. Is there anywhere else I can download it??

Looks really cool. I have been wanting to hear some of the things you guys post about in the what are you listening to thread. This program does that then? Allows someone to broadcast and others listen?

Jengo

yup, with this program its almost like you are making your own radio station.

dont worry, the site should be back up alittle later

Crap, I didn't know I had 11,000 media files! I'm setting up my buddy list- gotta get authorized eh? Should we start a group?

EMT
3 Sep 2004, 5:38pm
Wait, this thing automatically broadcasts? First I've got stuff that isn't music and second I have bandwidth restrictions. How does this work, can I control it?

[Depending on the answer to EMT's post] I'll install this as soon as I get home.

I have 20,000 songs (~80gb) to share, but I am also concerned about bandwidth. My cable is limited to 256kbps up, and I have roommates .....

You can disable broadcasting or lower the quality of the broadcast.

I just got it. Power went out earlier so I wasn't able to get it. Still setting it up and adding people and stuff. My email is thegr81 at gmail dot com.

EDIT: Is no one online now?

Way cool, guys! :D I've added all of you, heh, my sn is just 'entropy'. One funky thing is you can see other peoples' contacts, so I may have bummed some of you from someone else :p Just a question though. Is it possible to play something in winamp, and have mercora say that that's what I'm listening to? The reason I ask is because I use WinAMP's equalizer in conjunction with my mobo's equalizer to get the perfect sound. And, well, I think it's cool that other people can see what you're listening to...

an you are added to mine

entropy
3 Sep 2004, 10:43pm
So...do we have a Short-Media group, then? If so, where is it?

gibbonsl
3 Sep 2004, 11:13pm
look under the friends section of the program

it pretty much should be SM members")

entropy
3 Sep 2004, 11:15pm
I'm aware of that, I added like everyone :p But what I meant was, is there an actual group, cuz that way people can go there and we can add them, plus there's a chat room, which might be kinda cool.

gibbonsl
3 Sep 2004, 11:20pm

as soon as i can find one if their is one

You can disable broadcasting or lower the quality of the broadcast.

I unchecked the bit about 'broadcasting from the beginning' and whenever I open the program it says I'm broadcasting something... I just can't figure out how to turn it off when I want to.

entropy
3 Sep 2004, 11:41pm
Well, it's the same concept as any P2P. Share = get shared with. Just turn it down low - I had it at 48kbps before, and it was sending at around 6 kB/sec, so it's nothing major.

EMT
3 Sep 2004, 11:42pm
Oh. Well that kind of makes sense, why don't they just say so? And to add a friend you click "Invite a friend"... this program is not so hot IMHO

entropy
3 Sep 2004, 11:53pm
Yeah, I have it at 96kbps or whatever, and I'm still only sending at ~9 kB/sec. Very, very nice quality/bandwidth ratio - plus we all get to get a better feel for each other's music tastes so we can recommend bands/songs, too! :D

EMT
4 Sep 2004, 12:18am
96kbps should only take 12 k/s to send to someone in real-time. Heh, unfortunately my bandwidth is so restricted I don't think I can keep running this program much longer. BTW, anyone know how to modify your library in the program? Add new stuff, delete what isn't music...

entropy

Y'know, I was trying. But I gave up. Why? *Good* Short-Media graphics are very hard to come by...
