I should clarify my thoughts on MythMusic.<br>
<br>
I don't think it is broken, I just down think its functionality stacks up well against the competition. <br>
<br>
For my purposes, the competition class is PCmusic playing
software. I understand that for others the competition may be
restricted to linux or remote control operable programs.<br>
<br>
I am constantly adding new music to my library and creating ad-hoc
playlists, and MythMusic doesn't really facilitate this type of
behaivior. Of course, I use ITunes and Rhapsody for music, so DRM
issues prevent the developement of any MythMusic module that would suit
my needs.<br>
<br>
If I ever get the time, I'd like to implement a Myth music module
with an iPod like interface and a more detailed mode for use on high
res terminals with keyboard input. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/14/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brad DerManouelian</b> <<a href="mailto:myth@dermanouelian.com">myth@dermanouelian.com</a>> wrote:
