(EN) HomePod

HomePod is a network music player with operating interface that looks like iPod. HomePod can play MP3 files of servers, which runs HomePod server software, on LAN.
To use HomePod, we have to prepare Windows/Mac/Linux PC for HomePod Server.

Please look at the following URL when you want to know details of HomePod.

I bought HomePod at JavaOne S.F. on June 2004.

HomePod has a speaker, but I use HomePod with external speakers because quality of HomePod's speaker is not good.

Most parts of HomePod's software is based on Java, and HomePod's software run on Linux.
HomePod's firmware/software is developed by GLOOLABS
GLOO LABS : http://developer.gloolabs.com/index.php

And, we can download source code of HomePod.
My HomePod has improved as follows.
(Source code which I wrote can download from forum of developer.gloolabs.com.)

• (Server-side) Original cannot read SJIS when server environment is EUC-JP.
  So, I rewrite ID3Tag reader class to use JISAutoDetect.
• (Server-side) Added directory search and play mode.
• (HomePod) Added play music in the background.
  Original stop play music when user push menu button and move music selection menu.

ID3Tag issue is a very important on Japanese environment.
I have Windows environment and Linux environment, and general mp3 h/w player support SJIS only. So, I have to use ID3Tag with SJIS on linux environment.
Directory search mode is very useful when user has 1000+ mp3 files...

Updating Java code on HomePod is easy. Get jar file with ftp after login HomePod with telnet. Jar files of HomePod are in under /misple directory.
