[QUOTE=Kon-Tiki;216262]While we're on the topic, is it possible to integrate into new design a message on translated pages, that not every review is accesible, because people who surf let's say Croatian page, will miss out games that haven't been translated (something that hapenned to me during my first visit), and it would be cool if people could still select the game that hasn't been translated and still download and on the place of review it would say something like "this page hasn't yet been translated click here to see the review in English"... (sort of what Grinder is proposing)
Also a count of translated reviews on the main page would be nifty, so people get a feel of how much is translated...
(of course if all of this stuff is possible anyway)

About the design, if it'll be as sexy as the present reloadeds design I'm sure I'll like it :D [/b][/quote]
 I'd say listing all languages available per review's possible, and showing a default text on AB in a different language where the review for the game selected, isn't available yet, is as well.

Humm... that might've been a bit confusing.

Imagine you're browsing Abandonia in German and click on a game that's already been reviewed. It'll show the review, and the flags for each other language the review's available in. Now you click on a game of which the German review's not available yet. It'll show those flags for the other languages available again, but'd show a default text saying it's not available in German.

If it's like that, it's doable.[/QUOTE]

Yes Crash Bandicoot Three is abandoned I think.

The problem is, from what I saw so far, shoutcast/icecast can only stream mp3 format in a specified bitrate.... I'm not sure there is an on-the-fly converter from midi to mp3, but I believe all playable files will need to be in mp3 format.

Tracker formats hold the middle ground, though. But I understand they are not an option?

midi's are also a lot smaller in bytesize.

Yep, versions 2.xx are good enough for conversion. You can either use the Disk Writer plugin (inluded in the Winamp installation) to convert to Wave format and then use another program to compress to MP3 or use LAME plugin to output directly into MP3.
Midi files can be converted into MP3's that way too, if you choose the right synthethiser option for the MIDI plugin.

if you say that the radio will play both MIDI and MP3... then you just put yourself into helluva trouble. I have oodles of both kinds of files with game music. :evil:

Seems like I should dust out my game music directory. Only PC game tunes allowed or also console/handheld stuff?

Hehehehheheheh. I sent in a lot of LucasArts music.

You know a freeware conversion tool by any chance? I would love to have it!

So is this only going to be MIDI or what?
I've got a huge collection of MP3 music files that could be used, but if it's limited to MIDI I still have some stuff I could contribute.

As far as I know, Abandonia Frequency will play only music in MP3 format. But there are conversion tools, so all is acceptable
