Still need to set up the song posting forum bot so I can upload ~500
new song packs. Anyone familiar with
phpbb3 bot scripting or are willing to volunteer to manually copy-
paste forum posts from text files into new forum threads?

Updated Dutch translations:

I typoed terribly, so this fixes some of those. I also went a bit more
liberal with translations here and there, hopefully to the benefit of
brevity and actual understandability.

The translations of the accuracy ratings aren't actually used in the
game at the moment. I still see 'Marvellous' and suchlike even though
I have my phone set to 'Dutch' and get the Dutch settings menu and
other texts.

Nevermind, I was still playing the dev release. In the market version,
they're there.

Xwing, I have the same dubt. But I have choose to translate them also,
except combo.

In this release, I always have the warning that tell me that difficult
is not available, it play writing beginner [7]!

I'd translated the accuracy ratings too, but I didn't see them in the
game until the market release.

Yeah, I get that too. Apparently regardless of the actual difficulty
I'm playing. The game feels a bit laggier, too, although that might
just be me sucking at playing again.

Turned out to be a bug on my part when I tried to fix the difficulty display on the game screen. My bad. Has been fixed, as well as a few other small changes:

• always install sample songs
• fixed randomize setting check
• fixed difficulty selection bug for translations

The updated .apk can be found at http://beatsportable.com/static/releases/beats-1.5.1b.apk
I was about to upload it to the Market, however, I received the following from Google:

Thanks,

Sent them an email asking what violated the policy (I'm 100% sure that Beats does not include any illegal content/pornographic material/etc. and all files are original except where credit is given for them). Hope to receive a response soon so I can finish uploading Beats 1.5.1b tonight...
