Hello folks,
I present to you the mePod:

The most advanced MP3 player in LBP that will revolutionize the way we listen to music...

-Available in 8 different colors
-Actively displays album art, track#, artist, and song title
-Uses a microchip based meTunes system which allows easy organization and song upload (microchip overwrite)
-User can personalize their playlist by adding and removing only the songs they want, in the order that they want them in. (up to 30 songs at a time)
-Create mode friendly:mePod will continue to play song, even while in hover mode.

This thing is simply brilliant. It is a bit of a hassle to create new songs for the mePod, but it's worth the effort in my opinion. It looks _very_ cool. And the level itself? Brilliant! It's very high-quality, almost comphermc-like.2011-04-19 15:22:00

I've tried three times to open this level and I just can't seem to get it to load. I'll keep trying.

Is the thermo very high?

It will take a while to load. Just leave the game on and return every 10mins maybe?

I can't even get my PS3 online at the moment, which is super annoying. But I guess being in Australia won't help me if there is long load times here. I have never once managed to get Hansel and Gretlebot loaded. But I'll give this a go when I sort out what's happening with my network.


EDIT: Oops... looks as if there is PSN maintenance. My stupid.

This looks like it beats my Music Chip (a selector attached to songs) any day, really looking forward to continue listening in hover mode.2011-04-21 13:10:00

Come on robbit, you did not really just hijack this post to show off your version of my mePod. I invited and showed you the mePod two days ago and now your going to show your version on this post. This is rediculous.2011-04-21 14:50:00

Alright, i'll delete it from this thread and move it to another one. And ever heard of concurrency? You create a good device, and others make their own versions of it- just like in the real world. I mean, once the first MP3 player came out, many other people started making them. If the creator of the MP3 player had forbidden everyone to make their own MP3 players, they would still be stuck with the old one. Same case here. Everyone has the right to make his/her own song player. Sure, you invented the mePod, but this isn't a copy of the mePod. It is entirely different.

And my PSN friend Serikos had also made a disk-based MP3 player. He didn't even SEE the mePod yet. Get my point?
Although I do agree, it was a bit rude of me to post it in this thread.

I appreciate that, I just would like this post stay on topic.....my object. My argument was not that you created a MP3 player, my argument was the fact that you were showing off your version under this thread. As for concurrency, absolutely. It is a necessary part of evolution in engineering, as long as they are not clones.2011-04-21 15:09:00

Yeah, I do agree that was rude of me. That's why I removed the post the minute you got angry. I shouldn't have posted it in your thread in the first place, though.2011-04-21 15:19:00

The load times are rather long due to the songs in the level. The thermo is sitting at about 75%.2011-05-16 14:38:00

The mePod was a complete success. 4000 plays, 2000 hearts and only 50 dislikes...not a bad ratio. Thanks for your love LBP!2011-11-10 13:53:00

Sup folks, major update in the works. Going to seperate all the songs into their own section. This will great reduce load times and it allows the customer to purchase ONLY the songs they desire. Until then the current level still works with some considerable load times. Stay tuned.2012-01-04 20:59:00
