iPod Shuffle and Amiga: amiShuffle v0.6.0
Thomas Meigel wrote a simple program to use the iPod shuffle in
combination with AmigaOS. The program allows the connection of the
mp3-player using the USB-port and shows the shuffle inside the system
as an integrated USB flash stick with mp3-play-function.
After copying the mp3-files onto the iPod the user should start amiShuffle
to fill the database (iTunesSD) with the necessary information.

Commodity: Dragon imitates draggable screens (update)
Dragon from #AmigaZeux is a little program, wich imitates the function of Amiga's screendragging under CyberGraphX (Screenshot, Video).
With the left mousebutton the front screen can be pulled down and sideways to have a look at the screen behind. A click of the right mousebutton switches to this screen. Moreover a GUI offers certain options.
Download: Dragon.lha (62 KB)
Update: (12:01, 22.08.05, snx)
Meanwhile the version 1.1 is available under the same download link.
Besides a general code cleanup the old Mode-ID is reused and the BestModeID is skipped if the screen to be opened has the same depth as the minimum required depth.
Moreover the indication of the version in the OpenLibrary()-function call was corrected: Minimum required is V41 of the cybergraphics.library and not V42, as mistakenly mentioned. (snx) (Translation: ts)
