More code..
As a exercise while I was blocked on a coding problem for work, I wrote a streaming icecast client in Flex. This isn’t a particular accomplishment or anything, but I thought you all might find it amusing nonetheless. It’s the first step on the road to revamping Sheer Sound Studio’s web site – this particular one replaces the old wshr player, and is at http://www.wshr.org
I’m not saying this is any great peice of code, and it’s blatently based on one written up elsewhere on the web (I should really dig up where..) – but here is a streaming mp3 player in flex, take one:

(p.s. the VU meter is pure Sheer. Cute, isn’t it? Next version will have it colorized. Or maybe i’ll throw in a spectrum analyzer? Nah, let’s not get too clever. Better to get around to doing the database driven music browser for sheersoundstudios.)
