Anti spam measures
Due to an increasing amount of spam in the comments, I have implemented an automatic post banning mechanism, if the post meet specific criteria. This should keep the majority of spam away - let's see.
A little side note: there are currently exactly 2600 comments on this site. :-)
Massive update
I won't try to explain the lack of updates over the past year. All I can say is that I am sorry.
I am planning to add a couple of updates to the admin interface, which will hopefully enable easier file uploads and updates. Additionally, I am working on adding regular user accounts, so everyone can finally upload their own files - but that will still take a while to complete.
Here's a list of the updates:
First of all, a new version of XMPlay 3.5

Aiwa Z-D3300M (new version)

AIM MusicLink 3 supports XMPlay
Thanks to bornyank1 for posting this piece of information in the forum:
I've long wanted to use the AIM MusicLink plugin (which displays current song info in your AIM status), but I wasn't willing to switch from XMPlay to a media player it supported. So instead, I bugged the Aim MusicLink developer (who works for AOL, and has a blog and a screen name) to add XMPlay support, and he did! Here's the link: http://www.gregsmind.com/2008/07/07/aim-musiclink-3000/
And of course thanks to Greg, the AIM MusicLink developer!

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year 2008!
Unfortunately, my Merry Christmas wishes are a bit late and the Happy New Year is a bit early, but I'm moving and don't have Internet, so I have to seize every opportunity. :-)
I even have a belated Christmas gift: JFGreu by Tony Palmer, a modification of "Just For Me" by Aux.
Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year 2008!
