EPHpod really no-more?

i just read a thread claiming that the ephpod developer is off to law school and the ephpod software and support will eventually deteriorate. Any word on this?

Yup, heard/read the same that Joe's going off to be a lawyer. It's really been hit or miss since he came out w/2.70.

Don't worry, there are other options that are as good if not better.

If that's the case, it's a good candidate for an Open Source project.

He should release the source code.

Fear not guys!
Joe just e mailed me the other day and I discussed a bug that exist in 2.70a. He requested that I send him some documentation on it. So i would assume he is still working on Ephpod.

Probably not at the same pace naturally because of Mood Logic and other commitments.

I think he is attending law school next year.
I posted about this awhile ago on this very board and I can't remember... lol.
You guys probably even read it.

So Ephpod devotees I wouldn't write Joe off yet.

Tou

P.S. I downloaded some songs to my Ipod yesterday and Ephpod version 2.70a was actually faster than MC9!

Here's some comments from Joe

It would be very interesting to me, but I have a good full-time job right
now (that pays more than Apple would, and I own stock in the company), and
I'm set to start law school in the fall of 2004.

Right now I'm looking at ways to integrate EphPod with the new features.
I'm planning on picking up one of the new iPods at the Apple store in
Cambridge this weekend.

Future plans for EphPod...

1) Get AAC support in there (if possible... read on),
2) fix stupid bugs
3) revamp web site
4) Do features that have been on the list for a couple months
5) Reverse-engineer apple music store (unfortunately this might only lead
to you being able to play these songs on your iPod, but...)

I've spent much of my free programming time over the past 6-7 months on an
easier-to-use iPod interface for MoodLogic (http://www.moodlogic.net/).
It's a nice program, especially when combined with MoodLogic's nice
features (identifying songs without needing mp3 tags, and having
mood/tempo/genre info on the songs that can allow the creation of cool
playlists like "Aggressive Songs of the 70s" or "Mellow")

One note -- right now I'm working on the AAC support, and I'm having
difficulty getting an AAC I make on my windows machine recognized &
playable by iTunes. If you've had any success doing this, please let me
know.

Also, I'm surprised that the professional version of QuickTime for Windows
doesn't have AAC encoding for music...

any idea what features are on "the list"?

# 10 Re: EPHpod really no-more?
I believe one of the features will be soundcheck.
I"m not sure about the others

# 11 Re: EPHpod really no-more?
