[Mp3elf-announce] MP3elf V2 Now available

[<mp3...@li...>]

Hi Everyone,
It has been a while between updates, so we wanted to let you know the latest happenings with the MP3elf.

The big news is that we have version 2 hardware available. We have 
pictures, schematics and construction guides up on the website at http://mp3elf.net

A brief summary of the new features:
	* Almost 50% smaller
	* Pushbuttons mounted on the PCB
	* Mounting for LCD on the PCB
	* Reduced part count
	* IR remote control support

The hardware is fully tested and operational

We have also added new features to the software
	* JReceiver support (http://jreceiver.sourceforge.net)
		* Web based playlist management
		* Internet streaming support (shoutcast etc)
		* Ogg Vorbis Transcoding
	* Menu support
The software is reasonably stable but is still "alpha".  We expect to have "beta" software out in the next couple of weeks.

The hardware is available now in  both kit and assembled form - all you will need is a TINI and optionally an LCD.  To purchase the MP3elf follow the "purchase" link on http://mp3elf.net  

The purchase form is only for complete kits and assembled MP3elfs.  If you have previously contacted us about purchasing individual components, please drop a line to wi...@us... and we will be in touch regarding payment.

Thanks,
   The MP3elf team
