It wouldn't be difficult to make an MP3 version of this site | with an embedded player but I think the hosting costs might be | difficult to pay for. | sitkack wrote: | There are inbrowser tracker file players, esp with Wasm | rendering could be done client side. That said, with super low | bitrate codecs from Xiph it might be much much simpler to | encode once and ship the compressed song. Sending the tracker | files means that it can be much easier to visualize and slow | down playback. | codetrotter wrote: | For anyone that just wants to listen to the music in the | collection I recommend installing the iOS app 4champ | | https://4champ.net/ | | https://apps.apple.com/app/4champ/id578311010 | | And going to radio mode and toggling it to Radio ON. | | This immediately starts streaming music from Amiga Music | Preservation and playing it. | | The iOS app also runs on macOS, although its UI is not ideal | for use on a computer as it is more geared towards touch | screens. I mainly use it on my iPhone for this reason, much | more than I use it on my MacBook Pro M1. | | One final note about the music player 4champ: It's generally a | good player and I listen a lot using it, but it sorely lacks a | "previous song" function in Radio mode. So if it plays a good | tune and you don't favorite the tune while is playing, or make | note of the name of it and its artist, you will have | effectively no way of finding that song again. But other than | this it's a solid player. | codetrotter wrote: | Seems that a HN filter intended for Google AMP is triggered by | the URL and changes it. But amp in this URL has nothing to do | with Google AMP. | | The url is supposed to be http://amp.dascene.net/home.php | | @dang, can you override the change of the url so it's correct? ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-08-14 23:00 UTC)
