Issue 51 added to 8BS Online Conversion

I’ve made a further update to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. I’ve added disc 1 and disc 2 of Issue 51 to the conversion.

Radio Downloader 0.18

I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.18 of Radio Downloader.

This release brings two main new features - a ‘Favourites’ tab, which gives a place to store a list of programmes for quick access (without having new episodes downloaded automatically), and a word wheel type search against title and description in the Downloads list.

Additionally, a number of bugs have been fixed, including BBC Radio downloads no-longer being truncated at approximately 3:22 for some users, and a couple of resource leaks. For a full list of what is different you can check out the changelog.

Issue 52 added to 8BS Online Conversion

Another update to the the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. This time I’ve added both disc 1 and disc 2 of Issue 52 to the conversion.

Site Tweaks

I’ve made some small adjustments to the site header to improve the layout, made the news pages more consistent, and adjusted the stylesheet to help the whole site work better for users who prefer larger fonts.

Also, I’ve added an additional stylesheet which should improve the browsing experience on mobile browsers, as they are becoming much more popular. This should make the site work much better than before on mobiles, but I’ve still got some more testing and tweaks to do.

Radio Downloader 0.16

I’m pleased to announce the release of version 0.16 of Radio Downloader.

The most visible change in this release is that the main views bar is now styled to display tabs instead of buttons, which makes the application more intuitive. The styling updates also include changes under Vista and Windows 7 to make the application feel more integrated.

This release also makes having Radio Downloader run on start-up per user and optional, and includes a number of other bug fixes and changes. For a full list of what is different you can check out the changelog.

Radio Downloader 0.14

I’ve just released an update to Radio Downloader. This resolves the AAC stream download issues experienced by non-UK users since the 20th May, and the problem of older downloads hanging and blocking newer downloads.

This release also brings customisable, sortable columns in the Downloads view which remember their chosen order and widths, as well as an optional new ‘Duration’ column. Status information is now displayed in Windows 7 using taskbar overlays.

There are quite a number of fixes for a range of other bugs, which are listed in the changelog.
