I did something stupid a few weeks ago. I wanted to work on an Android version of MPfm before an official BASS.NET version was released. I used ILSpy to extract some of the P/Invoke stuff out of BASS.NET. I then commited these files to GitHub and used a script to add a GPLv3 notice to [...]
If you are a developer and interested in getting frequent updates of the MPfm source code, you’ll be happy to know that it is now available on GitHub! For now, I’m still using a private SVN server to commit code locally (it’s easier to integrate with the Mantis bug tracker), but I will synchronize both [...]
Hello everyone, I’m sorry if I didn’t keep this blog very much updated in the last few months. However, I’m still putting countless hours on this project! I have to admit refactoring the application to support multiple platforms has been a much bigger challenge than expected! I thought I’d be able to release the next [...]
Hello everyone, In the past few weeks, I have been working hard on the Linux and Mac OS X versions of MPfm. I have to admit I underestimated the effort required to learn new platforms/frameworks; it’s not easy to learn Mono, GTK and Cocoa at the same time!

I really wanted to like Linux, but it was hard to configure the OS without having to search solutions on the internet [...]
Hello fellow developers, As announced recently, I am now working on a new version of MPfm for the Linux and Mac OS X platforms. I have installed Ubuntu and MonoDevelop for developing the Linux version of MPfm. Because of this, I am now moving my private Subversion server into a minimal Gentoo Linux box inside [...]
Hi everyone, After working on a prototype using the Mono Framework (the open source version of the .NET Framework), I am happy to announce that a Linux and Mac OS X version of MPfm is now in the works! The UI will be similar but will use a native UI toolkit on each platform: Microsoft [...]

If you are a developer, you know it is frustrating when users request “new” features that are in fact already in the application, especially when you spent countless hours developing them. Usually they are the same people that requested them in the first place! You just want to tell them: “Dude, just RTFM!”. That happened to [...]
