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?
Welcome to Max for Live.com What is Maxforlive.com?
On maxforlive.com users contribute to an online library of free Max for Live Devices that you can browse and search for in a number of useful ways (unlike existing forums). If you've ever used the Reaktor User Library, you know what I'm going after. When we launch you will be able to share your .amxd files (the new Max for Live device file type) with other users and make them easily accessible based on a number of attributes you assign.
Maxforlive.com is an "unofficial" source for these devices and is in no way affiliated with either Cycling74 or Ableton, Inc.
Who created maxforlive.com?
This site was conceived within seconds of the NAMM announcement of Max for Live by Clint of the IDM/Dark Ambient/Experimental band synnack. He (well, me really) also does mastering and video work for 0xf8 Studios and manages the digital strategy and web site for Force of Nature Productions.
Much more on maxforlive.com can be found on the about page.
