I'll bet you don't roll out of bed and think about making your own PC before breakfast. Even you do, I bet you haven't actually shipped . Here's someone who has. I reached out to the creator of the Tauon PC-1 , Volodymyr Mishyn who kindly took more than a little time to answer some detailed questions about the PC-1, how it came to be, the challenges of a project like this, his future plans for Tauon OS and what is clearly a very personal labour of love. Many thanks Volodymyr. Your news blog suggests 30 days to prototype, and 6 months to ship! If that is right, it is very impressive, given the technical and logistical activities that had to occur. Is there more to this story? I was looking for available options before I started the project. I got myself a couple PI (3B, Zero) OrangePi, C-SKY. And tried to build some kind of educational PC for my kid. Unfortunately, the performance was awful, using...
mp3? :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't think that was a priority, since the standard music player already handles mp3.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in a future release, I don't know.
um ya
ReplyDeletebut its kinda awkward to switch between players if u wanna listen to a album that is encoded differently :)
That's gratitude for ya.
ReplyDeleteGive 'em what they couldn't do before and they just find another reason to bitch.
XM/MOD/S3M Support IS THE GREATEST FEATURE EVER. Works like a charm, only one "bug":
ReplyDeletewhen you load a XM/S3M/MOD song which is >500-600Kb and you switch to another song in another directory, the player freezes. The program doesn't freeze if the other song is in the same directory btw.
Maybe IT support in a future release ? Thanks for the great work
I have been looking at mikmod / mikit, but I don't have time for that right now.
ReplyDeleteStrange bug, I'll write it down to the todo list.
