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 use in WindowMaker.  So I started my own.  
The current (almost ready?) source code can be found at 
http://thuhfreak.isa-geek.com/~bill/mytunes-0.0.1a.tar.gz.  I say almost ready 
because I still have to work out some gui issues, test audio a bit more, 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 it.  The 
main advantage (I hope) that mytunes will have over other, more popular, 
players (like xmms) is reasonable playlist support.  I have recently switched 
from osx to 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.  I hope I 
haven't missed anything, if so, I'll gladly fill you in.

Other Software Required:
mytunes uses GNUstep foundation libraries (though no GNU-specific extensions, I 
think), and GNUstep gui libraries.  Also the libao audio library, libmad for 
mp3->pcm conversion, and libid3tag for grabbing (and soon setting) id3 tags.

Other Comments:
I would also be interested, if I meet the requirements, for mytunes to be a 
part of the GNU project.
