Hiya.
I've got a few updates to make to the directory entry for xhippo---apologies
for batching these all up together, but I hadn't looked at the directory for a
while...
- The "Source code" link is incorrect; xhippo's now on ftp.gnu.org, so the URL
should be "ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/xhippo/".
- I no longer use Linuxdoc and sgmltools to build the manual; instead I use
texinfo, and I've added id3lib support, so the "Packages useful to install"
entry should read "texinfo, automake, autoconf, id3lib".
- The description is somewhat out of date; I'd suggest that it should now read:
Xhippo is a generic playlist manager program that works with mpg123, madplay,
bplay, timidity, tracker, xmp, s3mod and almost any other command-line player.
It automatically decides which player to use depending on a file's extension;
the defaults are set in a config file. It uses textual playlist files, which
are compatible with XMMS and other audio players, and can be easily generated
with standard command-line tools. It also supports GTK drag-and-drop; you can
drop files or directories into xhippo from any file manager supporting the
standard protocol (gmc, Konqueror and ROX-Filer all work). Xhippo can
optionally read ID3 tags in MP3 files using id3lib, and has a variety of
playlist randomisation and sorting features. It supports GNU gettext
localisation and comes with English and German translations.
- The contributors list is somewhat incomplete; the complete set of
contributors is now:
Volker Assmann
Hubert Feyrer
Jeff Covey
Joseph Turian
Craig Knudsen
Rod Taylor
Kevin Everets
Pierre Ganty
Jason Buberel
Ken Arromdee
Markus Kohls
Ben Charlton
Matthew Slowe
Jeff Weisberg
Giles Radford
David Dorward
Martin Ward
Kevin Lo
Eric W. Brown
Michael Ritzert
Thanks very much,
