Device downloads and Windows 7 Hi all.
Many users have brought to my attention an issue with IE on Windows 7. You can login fine but when you go to download a device, you get an error that you are not logged in.
If you use any other browser like Chrome or Firefox on Windows 7 it works fine. It seems to be a problem only with IE on Windows 7.
So until I can hunt that down, please use something other than IE on Windows 7 to download devices.
Live 8.1.1 released Hi all.
Live 8.1.1 is released which is now what you should be using if you updated Max to 5.1.1.
Max for Live is only supported with Max 5.1.1 when using Live 8.1.1b3 and up so when you post a new device, or update one of your existing devices, please make sure you update your "Ableton Version Used" field to 8.1.1 if that is what you have installed.
Soon I will add a field so you can specify which Max version you had installed too.
Happy New Year.

New RSS Feed for new devices I added an RSS feed to follow all new devices added to the library. This will make it really easy to be notified when new stuff is posted without having to surf around the site.

Game on.
Commenting and Screenshots now enabled Ok I lied, I am still adding new features. :-D
Now you can comment on devices. Please keep the comments on topic about the device you are commenting on. I change the Terms of Service to reflect that requirement.
You can now post screenshots for your devices. To add one to a device you already uploaded, click "edit device".
Safari issue EDIT: This issue has been fixed and several users have confirmed it works fine in all browsers. Let me know if you still find this issue out there.
Several users have brought to my attention that when they try to download devices in Safari, it appends a .html to the end of the file.
If you rename the file and remove the .html it will work fine in maxforlive though.
Working on dealing with the issue now. Until fixed, you can either use a different browser or rename each device after downloading.
Official release date announced News we have been waiting for!
From www.ableton.com/maxforlive:
"Max for Live will be available on November 23rd, 2009. It will cost USD 299/EUR 249. If you already own Max 5, the discounted price is USD 99/EUR 79."
Device Names By request, device names can now include dots and dashes. Thanks guys. Keep the feedback coming!
Device ratings added By request, I added a feature to rate devices and sort the library by the highest rated.
Another feature off the roadmap. What's up next? Screenshots?
