Giocoso Pro

“Giocoso Pro” is the name I gave to a set of extensions to basic Giocoso functionality that permit multiple playing devices to access a single, shared database of recordings and plays. That's it. There's no cost involved in switching these features on: it's not as if there's 'freebie, cheapie, Giocoso' and then 'pay to drive the gleaming, clever Pro version'. Everything Pro is available to every user of perfectly standard Giocoso, too. In fact, Pro features are switch off-and-on-able at will. The only factor in deciding whether you want to use the Pro features is: do I have multiple computers playing the same set of recordings, and if the bedroom laptop plays something at night, I'd like reports from my downstairs main PC to know about those plays the next morning.

A special 'Pro' menu appears when you enable Pro functionality (and disappears if you turn that functionality back off at any point). The links below step you through the various options of that Pro menu. There's also an introductory essay introducing you to the architectural and practical underpinnings of the Pro features, and a couple of essays on how you go through the necessary prerequisite of building a special Giocoso Pro Server.
