BeOSRADIO has, at long last, posted a broadcast schedule so you can actually see what the station broadcasts! The schedule includes several shortform and longform technie shows, hourly news, even inspirational programming, in addition to a 24/7 extreme music mix. If you tuned in much lately, you might be surprised at what you're missing these days on BeOSRADIO.

TuneTracker Systems has released a major upgrade to their TunePrepper music ripping and prepping software. "TunePrepper 2" adds lots more power and customization, more automatic performance, attribute editing, lots of cool stuff! More on that in a few days.

Geez, I hate to see this, but I guess it was inevitable. Now even the tiniest little unregulated mini-power radio stations are being ased, by BMI, to shell out a yearly fee for music distribution.Radio World NewsBytes: "BMI Adds Part 15 Radio LicensePart 15 radio stations may be small, but that doesn't mean they don't need to worry about paying licensing fees for the music they play.Those

This seems to be the week for BeOSRADIO news! BeOSRADIO has moved to a new streaming rebroadcaster that will provide four different types of connections for our listeners.We've teamed up with Abacast, a rising star in streaming media, giving us the ability to not only provide our two traditional Shoutcast-style streams at 16k (mono) and 64k (stereo), but two additional Abacast-style shoutcast

I was just thinking today; I wonder how many people really know what-all is on BeOSRADIO these days. BeOSRADIO went on the Internet airwaves in late 2000, and has been broadcasting ever since, using TuneTracker, the automation system we designed for BeOS.In addition to chatter about what's happening with BeOS/Zeta and TuneTracker, BeOSRADIO might surprise you with the variety of programming it

One of my absolute favorite BeOS programs, the Army Knife tag and attribute editor for audio files, is under the knife itself! Buzzer Jonas Sundstöm of Uppsala, Sweden is adding new, modern features to this BeOS classic. He consented to a quick interview to bring readers up-to-date. BuzzLog: Jonas, how about a very quick backgound on your programming experience under BeOS. What have been

Well that didn't take long! Already, BeDrivers has reached its fundraising goal, and a Gina 3G audio card is winging its way to Buzzer Jerome Duval so he can continue development of a driver for it. Thanks to everyone who pitched in some cash to help them out! I spent a little time today reading-up on the Gina. It's a very sophisticated little audio interface with two balanced inputs and no

Long time Buzzer (BeOS audio lover) Emile Kukkuk is trying to track down a copy of Digital Tracker 2.13, the old Softjee product that creates music using the quaint old tracker technique first introduced in the 80s. Softjee doesn't sell it anymore, and he'd really like to purchase someone's copy of it. Drop me a line at dane (at) beosradio (dot) com and I'll give you his e-mail address.

A driver fund update...they're about halfway there! A few more Buzzers still need to pop for a little cash, and then the Echo hardware can be purchased to allow continued development work on the Echo Gina 3G card driver being coded by Jerome Duval. See our previous story for details. Donate at bedrivers.com. This is a very exciting project and I hope everyone will give what they can!

Well, "woes" might be a little dramatic; let's say cron-plications. The cool "cron" tool can be used to schedule items to be launched or run at specific times, but its interface is too cryptic for the average user. I set out, with the help of Buzzer Brent Newhall, to create a GUI interface to cron, to allow users to easily schedule items to be run on whatever basis they need; a tool that will be

Buzzer Jerome Duval, BeOS driver writer extraordinaire, is creating a driver for the wonderful Echo Gina 3G card. BeDrivers.com reports the work has already advanced quite far, and at this point, Jerome needs the actual audio card so he can do testing and continued development. This is a tremendously important project, and very worthy of our support. I encourage everyone to join me in donating

Buzzer Avery Trevelyan has bridged another big gap for BeOS audio lovers, bringing us a set of tools that allow some experimentation in the realm of MP4 AAC audio. His "BeOS MP4 AAC Tools and SoundPlay plugin" package includes an encoder and a decoder for the command line, and a plugin for SoundPlay (it goes in the /SoundPlay/Plugins/LiveEncoder/ folder) that should allow users to even stream

TuneTracker Systems is about to release a killer new version of its TunePrepper™ music ripping and prepping software.

Ever since lebuzz.com lost its host a while back, I've known it needed to come back in some form. The subject matter, BeOS audio, is too vital of a topic not to be covered explicitly as we did on lebuzz. Too many important things are happening related to BeOS audio not to have a site dedicated to it. Stay tuned to this "blog spot on your radio dial," for the latest news and views on all things
