positron

This is the home of positron, the synchronization manager for the Neuros Audio Computer. This software is primarily intended to support Linux, but will probably be portable to other POSIX systems such as OS X and the BSDs. Currently there are USB protocol issues with OS X, so please don’t try it there yet.

Vorbis support

Vorbis support is now standard on current Neuros firmwares, so positron will default to enabling Vorbis support. You will still need to do the following:

• Install pyogg and pyvorbis. These can be found on the pyogg site, or they might already be packaged by your distribution.
• If you already used the positron 1.0 release, you may need to edit ~/.positron/config and remove the option oggvorbis_support=false.

Latest Release: 1.1

This release includes proper track sorting for albums and much improved MP3 detection. We recommend you run positron rebuild to fix the sorting. Check out the ChangeLog for a complete list of updates.
