Hi John,
That’s great news, happy to ear from you since you’re back.
It’s amazing all the new features you add on SonicMood.
Can not wait for testing these.

I can look into that. I don’t know if I can figure out a way to do it or not, but I’ll see what can be done.

BTW, when SonicMood has the focus you can just hit the spacebar to pause SonicMood. That probably doesn’t help you here, since the browser (or whatever) would have focus. You’d still have to switch over to SonicMood before you hit the spacebar…

I’ll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the idea!

Cheers,
John

I purchased SonicMood within 15 minutes of the first launch. I can tell already that it will be a constant companion.

I can already foresee a problem: while reading a website, I’ll encounter a music clip or video … jump to the Dock to pause SonicMood … play/watch the clip … return to the Dock to resume SonicMood … rinse and repeat.

It would be fabulous if SonicMood could detect other audio and automatically pause for the duration, plus a short period to give me a chance to choose another song/video.

For the time being, I’ll make due with a global QuicKeys keyboard shortcut.

Do you mean the soundfiles? I agree we could do better with them, but I don’t want to embed them in the app because the user needs to be able to access them easily to add or remove files. But, maybe there’s a way… The only other disadvantage is that, since the soundfiles don’t change (usually) from release to release, a user can just download the app for a new version without having to re-download the extra weight of the soundfiles each time.

Cheers,
John

Hi Chriswan,

I’d not heard of macapper.com before. I will check it out. Thanks for the info - I’ve only used MacUpdate and VersionTracker (and MacZOT) before.

You should make a license giveaway (2 or 3 licenses) in macapper.com

Thes site provides some good exposures and coverages on mac sharewares and it’s quite popular

Hi, smee again John

I can’t help but feel overly excited with this little app

Another suggestion (I hope I won’t upset you with barrage of wishes)

It would also be great if you could integrate the support files with the .app file so one can more easily manage the app as a single entity .app file in Applications folder, instead of as a sub folder

Hi Chriswan,

I agree there’s a lot of parameters to play with. That’s why we added the “Create a Mood” option, but it’s a bit on the other side - not enough variation possible. We will look at a way to have a middle ground - something that allows variations without being too overwhelming…

Re the pictures. You can add your own pictures just by dragging and dropping. We do limit the resolution tho. Perhaps we should increase it or make it user adjustable? We’ll look into that too!

Thanks for the comments!
John

Hi Chriswan,

It’s tied to the person. You can go ahead and “donate” it if you wish.

Thanks for the purchase!

Cheers,
John

You also could ask pictures from your farm pictures*, into scenes perhaps?
