Hello All,
I just completed the first public beta of Nexus Radio. Nexus Radio is written
completely in EU, and then translated to C. The external DLLs are not written in
EU.
Everyone is welcome to try it out and give their feedback. You must be running
Win2000/XP.
You can download it here:

I was just wondering how you created the Installation file?
Thanks,

Wow! That is awesome! What are those radio stations? I believe laughter is the
best medicine, so I'm listening to some comedy. :)

Very nice interface,
I'll adopt it!
Gut why text is scrolling from left to right instead of right to left?

7. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
I'm running WinXP x64 (AMD64) and when I try to install Nexus Radio it gives me
an error box, "must be Windows 2000 or XP".
I've tried to load it in compatibility mode, but no go -- same error. I suspect
your are checking for the OS somewhere and not checking what the OS is telling
you it is.
Since both Linux x64 and Windows x64 can run 32 bit apps, is there any reason
for that?

Hi,
Why would the text scroll right to left?

Thanks for the Win x64 changes.
Your Nexus Radio (beta) runs perfectly, sounds good, and has a ton of choices.
Good job!

11. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
Chris, i noticed on thing that irked me (just a little) -- your Nexus Radio
changed my file associations from the normal WinAmp to Nexus.
unless i missed something somewhere in the settings that's an automatic thing,
right?
my next question is why change the associations if the primary function of Nexus
Radio is to play internet 'stations'?
otherwise, the beta hasn't hiccuped on me yet. thanks,

12. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
Hi Jon,
Nexus Radio primary use is to listen and record radio stations to MP3 files,
so I decided to associate certain media files with Nexus Radio. Remember
this is just a beta and in the full version the user will be able to
select which files he/she want to associate with Nexus Radio.
Thank you for your input,
---Chris

I do not see a problem with the way the text scrolls. No one else have
complained about this.

15. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
i hadn't noticed it, but since it's been pointed out, the left to right
scrolling is a little disconcerting. [jokes about dyslexia removed]
are you going to add tooltips (mouseover hints or descriptions) for the next
version? didn't know what that little red light was until i tried it. also a
right-click menu on some items would be nice.
i like anyway, there's not much improvement you can do, it's a very nice app.

I do have a huge complaint. I can't find a way to have the program access
a random bank and transfer large sums of money into my account anonymously.
Will that be in RC1?

Yup tool tips will be in the final version along with a virtual tour.

Yes it is a minor inconvenient, I have a more serious one.
On my system (windows xp sp2) nexus radio doesn't run in a session opened
with a non privileged user account. (although it works when logged on as
administrator).
In non priviliged account it start a new install and then display error message:
there was an error running nexus radio click OK to restart nexus radio.
When I click OK it display another message saying: ShellExecute require a
WinMain()

20. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
When you originally installed Nexus Radio, did you allow access to all users
or just the admin? I do not see why it would not run under a non admin account.
I will try it and see what happens.

21. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
I checked into the problem, and it is not unique to Nexus Radio. Some apps
need certain privlages to run correctly, Adobe Photoshop for one. The installer
is suppose to set the privileges to allow everyone to use it, but for some
reason its not.
So when you run Nexus Radio under a account with low privileges it crashes
because
it can't access certain registry keys. Later today I am going to test an older
installer package.

22. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
I looked over the installer docs and read a few online articles regarding
this same issue. The way Nexus Radio access files it cannot work under an
account that is limited. There is nothing I or the installer can do to
correct this, this is a security feature set by Windows XP. What I did do is
add error checking so if the user does not have the correct access rights,
Nexus Radio will warn the user and then exit gracefully. Sometime next week
I am going to release a second beta with bug fixes and new features a few
users suggested.

23. Re: Nexus Radio (Public Beta)
Great program.
I would suggest putting a small mute button underneath the volume control. When
you press it the first time, it (of course) mutes the sound. The next time you
press it, it restores the volume to what it was before you pressed it the first
time.
