Re: HTC Audio Manager + Audio Booster = no boosting

Pocket Player still clips bass, but it is acceptable.

I had been using GSPlayer for ShoutCast streaming on my HTC Wings S730, so it is good that I don't have to use an additional program.

With this post, I was hoping that people had or wanted to spend more time on getting the AM + AB combo actually working. I'm confused why it wouldn't from the start, but the EQ is probably dependent on an audio driver that isn't included in the audio booster package.


Anyway... thanks!

OH yea... have you seen XStreamXM? I also coded up a little web interface for last.fm (it's pretty beta so your patience is appreciated). Annoyingly, I had changed a few things and it appears that the host did a restore from a backup that was at least a month behind and i lost the improvements (hey... the hosting is free). So, I'll eventually sit and re-do the improvements. If you're using it in your car, the skip command (fed to the last.fm servers), stopped working; so a work around is to go "back" which actually reloads the stream and will skip the track.
Very cool, checking it out
