Not much to say, M3 is a tiny (~100KB) and minimalistic audio player (by the maker of Fotografix)...

Yeah the program doesn't show up in the PFW search window. Also, I can add a forum post to the entry where we didn't have one before.guinness wrote:We know >> http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1609
Re: M3
I don't use the TPFC search, instead is use site:portablefreeware.com on ddg or google for example.

Re: M3 (mini audio player)
Entry comments say it only supports WinXP and up, but softpedia entry says WinAll.

I'd say with WinXP going out, it doesn't really matter but this is exactly the sort of program people who would keep running 2000 or XP due to it being a lightweight would want to run for music stuff. Ah well.

Idly wondering whether Microsoft imminent end-of-support for XP really does equate to THE END for XP...?webfork wrote:....I'd say with WinXP going out, it doesn't really matter but this is exactly the sort of program people who would keep running 2000 or XP

Bet a few entrepreneurs will see a lucrative opportunity to offer continuing support to the myriads of enterprises who can't/won't migrate in time to newer pastures?
MS itself is reportedly contemplating extending XP enterprises support, for a fee, after the fatefull deadline (April 8th, 2014).
Perhaps limited support (mainly security upgrades) will also become available for individuals users?

I think Microsoft has always offered paid support of EOLed products to enterprises for a couple of years. I believe it won't become available for individual users.__philippe wrote: MS itself is said to be contemplating limited "paid" support to enterprises after the fatefull deadline (April 8th, 2014).

Re: M3 (mini audio player)
When a developer says it doesn't support XP, they mean "...if you find a problem don't come crying to me!"
Re: M3 (mini audio player)
I don't think so. I remember this coming up before with Windows 2000 with the hope that some group, company, or tool would enable it. Slashdot ran an article on this but nobody I knew stuck with Win2K for very long after it came out despite being generally more solid than XP and loads of great server software out for it.__philippe wrote:Bet a few entrepreneurs will see a lucrative opportunity to offer continuing support to the myriads of enterprises who can't/won't migrate in time to newer pastures?
I think the only reason Microsoft extended XP around for so long was to fend off a slew of Linux netbooks that seemed to be popping up. That ended up being a red herring as the real damage to Microsoft came from mobile phones and tablets. Now that they have an answer to that line (Win8) the push should go in the other direction.
I'm not a Windows sysadmin but if you do continue to run XP, I'd get more RAM to run it inside a virtual machine with the snapshots feature enabled to help reverse any system changes. Share the hard drive with the host system and if possible have it running active anti-virus/exploit checks.

- I've been meaning to do just that for years now, but one way or another I never seem to be able to. Imaging is always easier and more straightforward -- it can be done by booting with Clonezilla for example.
It might just be a case of dumb ole me, but administration wise, XP is a known devil, while with later Windows I seem always to be bumping into walls...
