Compared to others, its main difference is that it only accepts connection change requests, when you add your login ID as GET parameter. The login ID gets assigned every time you login and thus it is always different. AFAIK most other routers handle sessions via cookies, so for those reconnect scripts can easily be made from within JDownloader for example.

Anyway, if you happen to own one of these little machines, feel free to use my reconnect script. I wrote it in AutoIT3, source license is GPLv3.

On first start a .ini file gets generated and opened, where you can type in the login information. It will also open if the script can’t login (but never more than one window).

I think other Level One routers may either work without or with little hacking of this script. So users with similar routers might enjoy to  make it work with their routers. If you do so, please share your results in the comments.

Enjoy

PS: The configuration file gets written to the same path as the program is in, so make sure you put it somewhere with write access (C:\Users\you\Apps\reconnect for example).

There’s that great freeware music player called foobar2000. I really use it a lot to, play music, rate music, sort music, apply good ID3 tags and so on. Sadly there’s no (official) linux version of it, so this post will be all about windows. You might be able to run both Virtual DJ and foobar2000 with wine though.

Anyway, my preferred DJ mix tool is Virtual DJ. Foobar can only do very basic crossfades which mostly sound acceptable, if you set the crossfade duration to 20 seconds and activate the skip silence DSP. However, if you would like to pump some good beats while changing the tracks at your party, you are better off using a real mixing software. Here’s where Virtual DJ comes in. Its transitions can sound waaaay better than these automated crossfades.

The only downside is, that it comes with a very bad music browser interface: It can not recognize tags of ogg and flac files, the search is very limited and it does not support custom tags on files, where it does actually scan them. Lately I found out that it is possible to drop songs directly on a deck from any application. Wohoo, that’s fucking awesome!

So let’s see, we’ve got a crappy music browser, which we want to replace with foobar. The only thing you are required to get exactly that is editing your preferred VDJ skin.

As they are zip compressed xml files, stored in My Documents\VirtualDJ\Skins, you need to unpack your favorite one and open it up in an editor.

Somewhere in the first line, you’ll see the height of the skin. Change it to what you like (type in some less value), rename and repack the zip file and you are ready to go. For performance reasons, you might want to delete the the <browser>…</browser> stuff.

I recommend to set foobar2000′s output to your headphones, because then you have yet another deck for previews. (yes, there are more than 2 possible with virtual dj too, but they do not really sync well)

Oh and here are some foobar2000 plugins you might want to use with this combination:

• foo_bpm shows the beats per minute
• foo_wave_seekbar shows a waveform seekbar like on the Virtual DJ decks
• ratings

Für das Betreiben des Bots ist die Pro-Version von Trillian notwendig.

Eine Info-Seite gibt es hier.

Da die Seiten mit Downloadlinks langsam aussterben und die Entwicklerseite auch down ist, habe ich das mal gemirrort:
