OiNKPlus is a media enhancer and artist discovery add-on for Firefox, that works in collaboration with many music trackers (and other select BT sites). The added OiNKPlus info cleverly coalesces within the supported website for seamless integration on the .torrent download page - and it even works with The Pirate Bay and mininova. Below is a look at the before and after examples on What.cd and mininova.org:

OiNKPlus 11: MySpace Player Updated, New Sites Supported

So it looks like MySpace is going to change their player like panties, while I'm on holidays and such. This is why it took some time to fix the player. Sorry for that. At least it seems to me, that the poor sound quality has been improved.
On another note, site support for Acid-Lounge, Rockbox and Shellife/My Bloody Tracker has been added. As per request, I also included new links to RateYourMusic and Youtube.
Update: Libble is fixed. Libble users who installed OiNKPlus on 1st oct, please manually reinstall the script, it has been updated for you.

Cheers,
Indie

OiNKPlus featured on FileShareFreak, gaining popularity

On September, 17th, a comprehensive article about OiNKPlus was featured on FileShareFreak.com. It's a very good read and does a pretty good job in explaining new users, what OiNKPlus is about. So, if you would like to recommend it to some of your friends, point them to that article.
In the past, OiNKPlus had also been featured on TorrentFreak.

Personally, I feel very honoured, that OiNKPlus is covered by these major and also on many other, smaller sites. It's very motivating and keeps this project alive. Just for the record, each update of OiNKPlus is installed by an impresive 1500 - 2000 users within the first days after a release. 18 months ago, when, for the first time, Alan (for those who don't know, he is the respectful guy behind the legendary OiNK tracker) mentioned OiNKPlus on the OiNK frontpage, I wouldn't even have dreamt about the fabulous story evolving since then. Shortly after the frontpage post, the forum thread about the new kid in town - OiNKPlus - had over 1000 enthusiastic replies!


Keep the torrents running,

OiNKPlus ver10: MySpacer & Last.fm player fixed

Update 2: Again, MySpace made some funny changes to their player (indeed, it's a completely new player this time), so I have to update OiNKPlus accordingly. I'm on holidays till Sunday, an update will follow then.

Update 1: Just a few days after release of OiNKPlus version 9, MySpace made a small change to their player code resulting in the player to not show up. This is fixed with version 10.


Additionally as of version 9 , OiNKPlus will work with the new Last.fm site structure, so the player will show up again. The appeareance of OiNKPlus has been cleaned up to better embed in the supported sites. SSL on What.cd is supported now.

Cheers,

OiNKPlus ver9: Last.fm player fixed

This release will work with the new Last.fm site structure, so the player will show up again. The appeareance of OiNKPlus has been cleaned up to better embed in the supported sites. SSL on What.cd is supported now.
Ps: I'm looking for an elektronik.ro invite. My email: indieana@mailpuppy.com . I would really appreciate it! Thanks to the kind person who invited me!

09/19 Update: MySpace player seems to be broken as of yesterday, most likely due to site changes. I will fix this around Monday.

Cheers,
Indie

OiNKPlus 8: Torrentz.com support, some fixes

This release will add early support for Torrentz.com. It also adds support for https , supports artist pages and fixes the display of OiNKPlus (all on What.cd).

Update: I'm aware that the Last.fm player isn't showing u
p and that's due to their site's update. As I'm in exam period until 11th of August, I cannot fix this ATM. Bear with me, a fix will follow. Additionally, Last.fm also released a new API which will remarkably speed up the time to display artist information.

I'm looking for some people to help with enhancing OiNKPlus. If you are interested, drop me an email.

Cheers,
Indie
