Subject: [ukha_d] TelCanto Beta Testing


> We are about to release a new product and are looking for beta
> testers.  The product, named TelCanto, provides the ability to browse
> and control the playing of digital music via a Pocket PC, and
> consists of a Windows PC-based server and a Pocket PC client,
> connected via wireless network.  The following is a very brief
> summary of the major features of the product:
>
> - browse music collection on the Pocket PC by artist, album, genre or
> composer.
> - search music collection by artist, album, composer and track name.
> - items selected for playing are added to a PlayQueue and retained in
> their original form, rather than being expanded to a list of tracks.
> Thus an album or playlist queued for playing is held in the queue as
> a single entity, which can be subsequently moved within the queue or
> deleted in a single operation. Items can be added either to the end
> of the queue or after the currently playing item, or may be played
> immediately.
> - Shoutcast-compatible internet radio stations can be played.
> - Pocket PC interface provides facilities to pause, start and stop
> playing, skip to previous or next track or album/playlist, and
> control the playback volume.
> - Album cover art is displayed if available.
> - Music can be played via Exstreamer (multiple units can be
> synchronised), Winamp, Windows Media Player, or SlimServer.  Support
> for other hardware and software players will be added subject to user
> demand.
> - TelCanto can create its own database or use that from Windows Media
> Player Library or iTunes Library.  MP3, WMA and Ogg Vorbis formats
> are supported.
> - Playlists can be read from .M3U or .PLS files, from WMP Library or
> iTunes Library.
> - Multiple configurations can be set up and selected via server UI or
> on Pocket PC client.
> - WMA and Ogg Vorbis files can be played via Exstreamer using
> transcoding.
> - The product is built using Microsoft .NET.
>
> We are looking for beta testers who are prepared to spend some time
> putting the product through its paces, and providing constructive
> feedback.  In order to minimize duplication of effort we would prefer
> a small number of testers, each of whom is able to exercise
> particular areas of the product.  If you are interested in becoming a
> beta tester, please email beta@xxxxxxx and we will send you a
> checklist to complete to indicate the areas of the product you are
> able to test.  Active participants in the beta programme will be
> rewarded with a free product license.
