MediaCentre (2000/XP)               Soft32.com - 5 stars  

FREE MP3/WAV/PLS/M3U MEDIA PLAYER

              
                      aFreeGo.com - Rated 5             GlobalShareWare.com - 4 Gold Disks

 Softsland.com 5 Stars

This is a very small player that uses Windows Media Player (WMP).  I still use an old Pentium I for most of my work and the latest players are all too big and too slow.  This is simple, fast and featured.  It can open and export M3U or PLS playlists.  You can drag and drop files onto the player, play individual songs or playlists and more.  All the features you need and nothing that you don't.  It can play every format that WMP does, including videos and will open with the same screen as when closed.  The version for WMP9 has been discontinued.  Use the online check for updates to be notified of new versions.  It has a Copy-To-Device function for copying and removing mp3 or other media files from your removable drives or USB devices.  Simply create a playlist and it will be copied directly onto your device.

The all new MediaCentre 3.5!!! -  A completely rebuilt all new MediaCentre.  A new look interface, heaps more features, better windows integration and in exactly the same size application.  The biggest update yet and I recommend all users update to this version.  This is to be the platform for future versions.

Version Numbers

My software version numbers follow a simple convention. -[Version X . Y . Z ]

X - Major version number.  This indicates a major change in the look or feel of the program and its design.  Usually undertaken at the time of a major upgrade of the entire application bringing it to a new level of stability, with more better integrated features.

Y - Minor version number.  This indicates a major change in the functionality of the program.  New menus, features and functions will change this number.

Z - Build number.  This indicates a minor build change.  Each time I make changes I produce a new build for testing and occasionally release.

To make it easy I will only keep the latest versions of my software on this site.  If a version number is not indicated then the software is considered to be version 1.  Version 1 means new, experimental and not rigorously tested.  Version 2 programs are fully functioning and stable.  Version 3 onwards are commercial software quality.


Custom Software

I have also built a larger number of often smaller custom business applications.  These can be used to save time, simplify record keeping or data collection or for reporting.  These programs include control panels with the time, date, commonly used applications as well as opening times and alarms, Till & Eftpos totalling software which uses an access database and includes reporting, an MP3 playlist program for hold music, an Access Job Booking database for The Pool Clinic including comprehensive reporting, a booking viewer application and lookup connectivity.  I have also been rebuilding an Internet Cafe control application (codenamed netCafe) I built for the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Union but I have now rebuilt for 2000/NT/XP & SQL Server 2000.  It allows remote control of an internet cafe including disabling, shut-down, restarting of machines, it times users and records them in a log.  This application includes the highest level machine security with registry settings which will lock-down your machine.  When the application launches you will not even be able to use CTRL+ALT+DEL.  You can also have password accessed user accounts to enable users to logon.  These are also timed.  The program comes with a separate control panel application and database which controls the network and the very small and simple client.  Easy to install, impossible to break.  I also have built netX, a compilation of the best network scoping and enumeration tools built into a smooth application that will fit on a floppy disk.  It can gather all network details and help identify servers.  Can even download LM hashes and will work on any 2000/NT/XP network.  I will not be posting this software onto this site due to it's effectiveness.  It isn't a program you want people to have, but is a great tool for system and network administrators.  Allows up to 8 computers to be individually tested on the one floppy.

As you can see there is constantly something going on, and as these reach fruition they might appear here.  I can build most applications to suit, contact me for details.
