Hi,
there's a small update of maxlib. It now comes as version 1.1b with Krzysztof's versions of match and speedlim (from cyclone) plus one new one called limit. Releases for win / linux / OS X are available from

The second update is shoutamp~ 0.5 (experimental pre-release only tested to work on two machines..). Compared to Yves' mp3amp~ it starts streaming when a buffer of encoded audio data has been filled. Thus it takes some time until playback starts. But this way the playback seems to be more reliable / stable (had it running for several hours). It also uses a second thread for receiving mp3 and for decoding. This should reduce the risk of audio dropouts when streaming over slow internet connections. Win only, right now, OS X coming soon.
