MattyMC – Technology + Coding + Music

Prerequisites: You need to be using Firefox and have the Greasemonkey addon to use this script.

A discussion on t61 one day led me to create a little script you can type in the address bar of the browser to toggle a sneaky little feature to toggle the site to auto repeat songs. After requests for that came every odd day and suggestions for a Greasemonkey script, I decided to create one. I started having fun playing around with t61 scripting so I created a little more than that. Hopefully you guys find it useful.

Update (July 27 2009): rd3k has now officially joined the t61++ team. We should be pumping out stuff twice as fast now .

!! Grab the script here !!

FYI (Aug 11/09)– Please Read: We just got an email from james (one of the t61 creators). He doesn’t seem to like our awesome little script. I plan to leave it up and even edit it but just for “educational purposes only”.

This is a total bummer. We are the big fans of t61. We aren’t trying to cheat, we are so dedicated to t61 we are trying to get more out of it. I would suggest leaving him a friendly note if you disagree .

Here is his email:

…While I love the idea of users motivated to get extra functionality out of the site, the ToS is pretty clear that 3rd party scripts are prohibited. On the bright side, I’m glad you brought this to me as we’ll surely consider these ideas for the next feature push. We’ve got some pretty exciting stuff in the pipeline, so stay tuned.

Best,

James

This will be the page I update with changes.

Current Version (1.3):

New Awesome Interface (by rd3k!) Woo Woo! Left side thinger like feedback.

Auto-repeat: Yay! You can now listen to songs over and over. Press it to toggle auto-repeat on. Press it again to turn it off.

Auto-rack: Sometimes when I am listening to the rack it just stops and I have to go start it up again. Press it to toggle auto-rack on and it will check that the rack keeps going. Press it again to turn it off.

Auto-maxbump: Now that I am level 16 I hate clicking the button 16 times and having to wait a second or two in between.

Show remaining rep until next level (Thanks rd3k): Now the remaining rep until level shows up beside a user’s rep in their profile.

Auto-radiobump: Instead of having to click on the radio link so many times, I’m going to figure out a way to keep the RBs pumping while just listening to the radio.

Stuff in the pipe:

Auto-shortPlay (Requested by CordwainerBird) Play songs halfway then move the next (speed up quests)
