Platinum-MD

A Gui for NetMD

This is quite tricky, as there are a few extras needed.

Future releases will try and include a statically built binary for each included tool.

You will need to install homebrew: https://docs.brew.sh/Installation

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then install the following:

brew install --force pkg-config qt5 mad libid3tag libtag glib libusb libusb-compat libgcrypt ffmpeg && brew link --force qt5

Download the latest release, and open the dmg.

Drag the file to the applications folder.

Upon opening the platinum-md app from the applications folder, it will show a warning.

Open OSX Settings and click Security & Privacy - click the Open Anyway button shown near the bottom of the panel.

Overview

This project aims to make uploading audio files to NetMD players seamless and automatic.

Supports upload MP3/WAV/FLAC files direct to a compatible NetMD recorder.

Full quality SP recording.

LP2 with an experimental encoder

This is a very alpha release, expect bugs.

Some pre-recorded discs made with SonicStage may show as blank
Best to start with a completely blank disc
Bulk delete is not supported yet, but will be soon
~~Moving tracks is also not supported, but also will be very soon~~
Sometimes a track or two may be missed, this is likely a race-condtion, will be fixed in the next release
Automatic CLI tools for installing dependancies is highly desirable
Linux release is imminent, starting with Ubuntu
Windows release is a way off, sorry
The USB interface sometimes just fails, this is hard to fix as it seems to be the device itself (just unplug/plug-in again)
LP4 is unsupported (relies on support from a 3rd party library)
LP2 is experimental, but works fairly well
SP is full-quality PCM and is encoded by the NetMD device itself for best quality
