OVERVIEW
Trading goods between worlds is an extremely dangerous and hard job and a commander will need some relaxing moments. Listen to your radio station and enjoy Jazz, Folk, Rock or whatever you like. Use one station for all systems or expand it, so you will get different programs in different systems. You can even add your own music to the playlist. So rip your CDs, download songs, or install one or more of the available musicpacks. Everything is possible.
This device connects your ship-systems to the HyperRadio stations. By sending it's ID your ship receives a coded hyperwave that is stored into the integrated memory. You are licenced to use this device for a period of 20 days. When the time is expired, you should make a short break at your local dealer for a new licence.

Thanks to the dev-team for the new sound-stuff.
HANDLING
- Step 1: Just place your soundfiles in the OXPs Music-folder.
Please note that the versions before v1.05 have used the Sounds-folder. If you have your soundfiles already there, just rename the folder or copy/move the files in the Oxps Music folder.
- Step 2: Open descriptions.plist in the OXPs Config-folder (you can use a simple text-editor) and add your filenames to the array.
Please note that the OpenStep-Architecture (Example) is used for all Java-Script versions now.
Example (new form):
hyperradio_songlist = ( "example.ogg", "example2.ogg", "my_song.ogg", "my_next_song.ogg" // Note that the last entry does not have a commata at the end );
Save your additions. That's it. Totaly easy.
- Step 3: Fire up Oolite. Buy the HyperRadio (it is not everywhere available), launch from the station and go to the SYSTEM_DATA_SCREEN (F7). The connection has to be established, so wait a few seconds. When the connection is stable (the music is playing) step back to the cockpit view (F1). When the song is over... F7, back to F1,...

NOTES
Using IN_GAME_MUSIC is a special thing. Currently it is possible to use the Ogg-Vorbis (.ogg) and Wave (.wav) -format. This file should not contain more than two channels, because Oolite does not support any surround-audio-files. It seems that Oolite reduces these files to stereo. And various kbps are handled by using a average kbps-rate.
Creating background music:
The background music max db should be between -12 and -8 db, because a lot of players are using customsound-OXPs and the player should hear if something happens. And the new functionallity of Oolite will cause that more and more OXPs will use their own sounds. That means that sounds (like laser fire) should be between -6 and -3 db at a max. Higher values can result in digital clipping, but if you are familiar with mastering you can use higher values, but better not.
RESTRICTIONS
1. You can't use it in interstellar space, because there are no HyperRadio stations.
2. Because of the handling of variables in Java-Script don't use filenames with a leading zero or other numerics.
Example: 01.ogg -> interpreted as 1 (without 0 and .ogg) does not work a0.ogg -> interpreted as a0.ogg works So the best would be to use a syntax like: artist-songname.ogg
3. Please take care that your descriptions.plist is valid.
