A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
William Cahill <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: mytunes - an mp3 player.
System name: mytunes
Type: non-GNU
Description:
mytunes is going to be a wonderful new mp3 player. I had searched the web,
including the savannah sites, for mp3 players, and couldn't find any ones to my
liking, particularly any made for NeXT/Open/GNUstep. So I started my own. The
current (almost ready?) source code can be found at
http://thuhfreak.isa-geek.com/~bill/mytunes.tar.gz (theres also a bz2'd
version). I say almost ready because I still have to work out some gui issues,
fix audio, but generally everything I want for the first release is there. I
had originally intended it to be an xmms-frontend (so you may notice references
to xmms throughout the code/gui), but I decided to switch gears and go without
xmms. The main advantage (I hope) that mytunes will have over other, players
(like xmms) is reasonable playlist support. I have recently switched from osx
to gnu/linux, and I had loved iTunes and how it handled all that. So I wanted
to mimic iTunes smart playlists, and interface a bit. I, of course, won't
refer to that program directly in the public description. I tried to keep
pretty strict to myself about GPL issues. I made sure to have a notice at the
top of every page, and to have the COPYING file at the root. And, about the
files that came up before (this is my second registration attempt): I had been
trying several different id3 libraries (GPL'd or similar), and had intended to
link with them, but in testing I had their source mixed with mine (sorry). I
think I got rid of all of them from the source directory.
Other Software Required:
mytunes depends on GNUstep, Open/NeXTstep, or Mac OS X, or similar system
(foundation and appkit libraries). I made it on GNUstep, but hopefully I
avoided any GNU-specific extensions for portability's sake. It also uses
libmad for mpeg->pcm conversion, and libid3tag for reading (and eventually
writing) id3 tags.
Other Comments:
I would also be interested, if I meet the requirements, for mytunes to be a
part of the GNU project.
