Day 4 - 7/13
Today was attempt to ignite a PowerPC by playing music on it.
I settled on amused (
https://github.com/omar-polo/amused)
and it works quite well - queuing up and playing music is easy enough. It runs nicely in the background and loads up a
whole dir of music (even skipping over non-music files)
A couple suprising aspects:
- The proc did not, in fact, burn a hole through my coffee table or crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory
- iBook speakers aren't terrible at all. I was anticipating breaking out headphones for this test.
What works:
Music! Surprising, wonderful, mp3 happiness.
What doesn't:
Calendar, some manner of youtube/video stuff?
