Hey Chris, I couldn't find an e-mail address for Alan so you might forward this to him. Someone just told me about lymric(.sf.net) and it looks like an interesting project. I thought that you might be intested to know that a few of us are trying to get rhythmbox off the ground again. You can see some of the discussions here: http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=15 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2003-April/thread.html And a proposal(unfinished) and some mockups that I've put together here: http://xsu.sourceforge.net/future.html http://xsu.sourceforge.net/search.html I know that it's always fun to start from scratch ;) but the rhythmbox code is more than a year old and the library code is very mature, and took quite a while to get right. We mostly just need to implement the UI we settle on and fix internet radio and audiocd support. Then we can move onto ripping, burning smart playlists, tag editing and portable mp3 player support. It may be impossible, but it'd be cool if we could all work together and produce one really great gtk2 iTunes clone. We seem to have almost identical goals. And for you, using the rhythmbox code could have the benefit of springboarding past the boring bits relatively quickly. There is a whole year of hacking gone in there, and you'd be surprised how long it takes to get some of the large library handling stuff right... If you're interested I can fill you in more on the current state of development.. Later MArk -- .--= [ MArk Finlay - sisob ] =--.
