Sean, the source is available for both the Vista and Google XM gadgets. You can usually extract it by downloading the gadget to the desktop and renaming the file as a .zip. We appreciate any debugging info you come up with.

I seem to be having the same issue as w/ the prior version as well where I need to reset all on reboot to login. Also, it can take up to 3x of entering my credentials before it works.

Is the source available for this gadget? I’d be willing to debug it since I consistently have the issue.

Nice gadget. Tiny issue, the user name box accepts tabs now… so when you enter your name and hit tab, instead of going to the password box it puts a tab in the user name box.

Prime, if it was the play button, there is a fix we’ll be testing out for the next version of the gadget and will hopefully have that version out either later this week or early to mid next week.

Sorry its taken so long to reply…

To your question of depressing the play button: Your solution has worked!

The play button seems to be “un-pressing” itself, so I had to click multiple times to get it to stay in an on position.

I hadn’t done anything to my available audio codecs, to rule that one out while we’re at it.

I’ve yet to restart my system for thorough testing, but I’ll get back to you later tonight after I’ve restarted several times and used my system under normal conditions, to make sure nothing else I’m doing is affecting the player.

Thanks for your reply. The gadget RAWKS!

Ok, you can pretty much scratch that last entry. After a reboot, I’m having no issues with the hi quality stream. A buffering system might still be nice, but possibly not necessary. Also, it wouldn’t be worth it if it took up too much RAM.

Again, great work!

I can’t thank you enough for making this gadget. It’s incredible. I can’t believe it took me so long to discover it!

I only have one suggestion. I don’t usually have a problem unless I’m downloading, but is it possible to stick in a buffering system? Maybe something selectable like 5-30 seconds? During heavy downloading, it skips and stutters a bit. Other than that, it’s pretty flawless for me.

Keep up the nice work!

This gadget is my most used gadget! Listening at work is very nice!!! One suggestion, after hours I crank it up and that is great, during the day I have to keep my volume high for my computer to listen to incoming voicemails, since the volume adjustment goes in increments of 10 I am constantly turning my system volume up and down. I know you do that to make volume adjust emnt easy, but for people who need to adjust the quiet end lower, it would be nice to have 1% increments for 0 - 9. Again, LOVE THE GADGET!!! THANK YOU!

The double play issue is getting resolved for version 1.4 There will be a few new things in that as well. As for the song list being automatic, it’s possible, but would also slow the flyout down quite a bit when you pop it out, and sometimes you just want to change the channel quickly.

Otherwise, there’s a few more things we’ll be adding in to the next version that we think people will like. Still working on it though, so it’ll take a bit to get it ready for release.

for the no sound issue, try clicking on play multiple times, that seems to fix it. hopefully that bug will get fixed soon.

i too like the tooltips idea so cut off names of songs and singers will show fully.
