Is there a trial version of 3.0 available? If so, where do I get it?
Nope only V2.2, V3 is only availble to paid users i'm afraid. I am looking at making a demo availble in the future.
buy it, it is worth it.
Last I checked there is a free demo version of 3.0 on the front page.
So whos using the trail for V3?
Im just asking since its out there now and well Im asking. ;D
I just got a bigger touchscreen (out of the garbage from where I work!) and it seems to have 1024 x 768 native resolution, so I came back to see what I could find for it.
I tried the trial for version 3.12. It randomly disappeared a few times (way before the expected 30 minutes) and when I tried some 1024 x 768 skins it often ended up with a scrambled albums screen. The bigger albums screens are clunky and out-of-proportion even when they are displaying as intended. I also dislike the new feature where selecting a single song takes you to a special page for it. I couldn't find a way to disable that.
I downloaded version 2.2 (I was using 2.09) and it seems to be working fine, just like my old familiar Freebox. Looks like I'll be on fuzzy 800 x 600 for a while :(
And now I'm discovering that whenever I add an album, Freebox 2.2 reverses the order of the first and second tracks! Sadly I didn't keep a copy of 2.09 around. :(
The reason your albums looked incorrect on the 1024 skins is because you have to pick a cover file to reorganise them. There isn't a way to disable the screen that appears with the play options on i may add the ability to have the classic 2.2 operation in a future release.
Don't forget you can always use the included skintool to make a skin at 1024 for yourself.
