A new release by Dink of z1, the VIO MP3 player for OS/2. Also plays OGG Vorbis ( requires plugin files from Hobbes ) and streaming MP3. Can be used as a web browser helper app for playing MP3s or standalone to search for streaming MP3s. See main web site: http://dink.org/z/

Hi everyone, heres the long-awaited new version of z!

Whats new:
  • new: 5-star song-rating function; press + or - in the lister or while a track is playing to rate it.
  • new: play now / play next / add to end of playlist icons added for each track via the built-in webserver
  • new: auto-update current track/next/previous/connected users/etc via the built-in webserver
  • new: option to specify a password for streaming audio
  • fix: wrong time (current and total) on tracks with an image embedded in them
  • fix: win32 only - crash shortly after a track with embedded image starts playing, thanks to fusion for supplying the mp3 for testing
  • fix: save the data in the streaming buffers as well as the incoming data with 'w'rite stream to disk
  • workaround: sometimes if another stream/song gets played in a separate copy of z! while one is already playing or paused - due to a bug in MMOS2, the f first z! will "inherit" the volume level from the newly spawned z!
  • new: streaming function can be disabled completely by specifying a port of 0
  • some other minor things I forgot about..
  • [edit aug.21/forgot to mention]
  • new: track sorting in the web interface, click the Filename/Size/Last Modified headings
