Christmas in August
Flug released a new update to the MiddleMan Project taking place in our forums. We now have a working GUI and the program can now download and save songs! Remember that this is not to be used illegally in any way.
Download the program here
To run the jar file, you’ll need Java 5 Runtime regardless of the OS you’re on (you’ll also need iTunes). To run the jar file, just double click it; all the needed files are contained in it.
So this is quite a bit more developed than version 3 that I last posted, but it has quite a few known issues. The source code is included, and it discusses a few
issues, but not all.
Hints/Issues:
0. After launching the program and selecting the library to mirror, use iTunes to connect and listen to music.
1. Check out the about info. It contains the instructions (albeit, rushed when written).
2. The panel Format outputted file is disabled in this build. I haven’t found a suitable MP3 java library to work with, and I’ll need another to support m4a files.
3. The jar file CAN DOWNLOAD AND SAVE music streaming from iTunes. The file will be named as a random 4-digit number plus its extension. It is located in the same directory as the jar file.
4. You’ll see a ton more info if you run the jar file from the console/terminal. The status panel isn’t fully supported.
5. This program’s major bug is that once you finish listening to a song, another two new songs start playing. This will crash iTunes, and to resolve this, you’ll have to quit the java program.
6. See source code for comments (source code is included in jar file).
7. Please explore the program before reporting issues.
