FAQ:


Q: What the hell is Mp3d00d anyway??

A: Mp3d00d is an LIVE MP3 playlist maker, that will continuously
scan a directory for new Mp3s, and line em up to be played.



Q: But why would you want something like that?

A: It all started back at "GIBSTOCK IV", a 4 day LAN that takes place
quarterly in Morrisett, Australia. If you've ever been to a LAN, you'll
know that its IMPOSSIBLE to play games 24/7, and you need other things
(like food, water, sleep, music etc) to keep your sanity. Now at 
our LAN, we found it extremely annoying for multiple gamers to be
playing their favourite Mp3's on their bigass 500 watt speaker systems,
all at the same time. So I made this piss-weak little proggy to try
and eliminate that problem.



Q: Wow! Your a veritable genius!!

A: I know, I know. Anyway, the idea is to set up a PC on yer network
(preferably the crappest one), and fully (write) share the "Upload" 
dir of Mp3d00d. Then your gamers can upload their Mp3's to be played,
instead of everyone playing them on their own machines. 
This also eliminates the dreaded, 
"Little glasses guy that keeps playing Killing in the Name, by RATM" 
problem, that may arise *cough*Ch4oS*cough*.  :)



Q: Where can I get this fine piece of software?

A: http://members.xoom.com/badmod/



Q: I am your typical idiot. Will I be able to setup Mp3d00d???

A: Good news my friend, Mp3d00d is IDIOT-PROOF!!! Even YOU will
be able to setup an MP3 Server. Just Right-Click on the "Upload"
dir, and click on "sharing". Then you jus gotta change the Access
Type to "Full". Run Mp3d00dv12.exe, and yer away!!!! Mp3d00d deletes
files after their played, so make sure you have a consant supply
of funky tunes. If you do happen to run out, Mp3d00d will display
the "Feed Me" message, until more songs are uploaded. If your 
just testing out Mp3, make sure that the songs you put into the
upload dir are copies, since they will be destroyed after being
played......



Q: Is this most excellent utillity of yours freeware?

A: No, Ive decided that Im goin to release Mp3d00d as SHAREWARE. Feel
   free to try out this program, and if you find that it suits your
   needs, send $10 (Australian, cash, cheque or money order) to the address

   register!!! Registration will entitle you to free upgrades of Mp3d00d 
   whenever they might occur, and notification of when theyre released.

Q: What the hell is Pimps In Action?

A: Nuthin. Just havin a little fun...



Q: What keeps you going at 4am in the morning?

A: Good question. I have a little secret snack, that im prepared to share
   with you. Its called the p|mpdawg! Its basically a Cheese and Bacon
   Sausage roll, covered in mustard and chilli sauce. The p|mpdawg is
   the second best thing I've ever created (after Mp3d00d). Keep this
   secret recipe under your hat ;)



Notes / Bugs

* Only upload Mp3's that are 112kb/s (Stereo) and above, or the Mp3 player
  might skip the song (dont ask me, i didnt write the player)

* Mp3d00d should work in Win95, and 98. Im not sure about NT. Give it
  a go if you want, and if you have any success, then email me.

* Do NOT alt-tab out of the Mp3d00d screen, cause it will cause the
  Mp3 to pause, and make really wierd noises until you alt-tab back
  in again (again, not my fault)

* Do NOT use drugs while setting up Mp3d00d. Drugs are bad

* Do NOT break your arms doing flips while using Mp3d00d.

* Dont delete intro.dat. Mp3d00d wont run without it....



Added in v1.2

* The "word from our creator" intro when you start Mp3d00d. Yes,
  thats my voice, and yes, thats me playing guitars in the background...
  The full version doesn't have this...

* Stopped that annoying "screen jumping" when Mp3d00d is waiting for
  files, and one is in the process of being uploaded

* Tidied up the code a bit (not noticible to you)

* Changed the exit screen




Added in v1.1.1

* Added full log-file support. Mp3d00d now logs EVERYTHING that
  it does to history.txt. Extremely handy for debugging (not that 
  my shit has any bugs....)

* Made the "Feed Me" screen a bit neater

* Made the interface a little more Eye Friendly

* Added Bourbon Engineers URL to exit screen :)



Added in v1.1

* History of every song played written to history.txt

* Fixed up some improper termination issues (wrong song names displayed)

* Added quit option to "Feed Me" screen
