About

Features

• does not rely on an external database but uses directories and files instead
• uses viewmodes to provide different representation of an audiofile (filename,songname,album,etc.)
• can take advantage of freedb.org database records to derrive song information such as name, allbum, artist, running time, etc.. This is strongly recommended and a separate tool Freedbtool is provided to retrieve and update those records. Support for similar functionality based on id3 tags is in preparation.
• can playback any filetype for which an xmms plugins exist. (The playback is actually handled transparently through the Musicus commandline tool.)
• works nicely with remote controls suppported by lirc .
• provides hotkeys for immediate playblack of up to 10 playlist
• support external info script hook for conveying information about the song currently playing
• supports a "badlist", playing of songs in this list can be suppressed
• supports a "goodlist", a song currently playing can be added to this list with a single keystroke so that the user can come back to it later
