AllDay DJ - Some Progress

As some of you may have cottoned on to, there are two main strands to
AllDay DJ. The first being version 2, the current release. This has a
few bugs and version 2.3 is almost ready for release (it should be
available in the next few day). It brings a bug fix for weather VTs,
"drag and drop" player, a fully revamped database manager (it now works
in much the same way as the search system), move to prepared statements
(hopefully more secure, etc.), Winamp DSP support.

 

Quite a lot for a minor release! But all should be available soon (I just need to package it up correctly).

There is also progess on AllDay DJ 3 (the planned successor to AllDay DJ 2). This version will see a nicer database backend (it's based on NHibernate and thus can sit on top of a number of DBMS systems), proper multi-threading (slightly more overhead but properly makes use of multi-core systems), cleaner GUI, users (and associated audio walls), and hopefully much more.

Just to temp you, I've attached a screenshot of the development version of AllDay DJ 3 (click on it to see the full version). Though I would stress that this software is well away from release at the moment.
