satyr audio player - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

It pretends to have the following features:

• The PlayList and the Collection(s) are the same thing.
• Yours is a Collection of Albums, nothing else[3].
• Some Albums are from the same artists and some are compilations[3].
• If you want an ephemeral playlist you could queue songs.
• If you want non-ephemeral playlists, then this player is not for you.
• Ability to search à la xmms, but in the same interface
• Skinneable.
• Tag reading and writing.
• Order you collection based on the tags[3].
• The collection discovers new files and adds them to the playlist on the fly[4].
• Be able to use all the program only with your keyboard (die, mouse, die!)

This and other features should be available soon. The coding has been fast lately, mainly because the Qt/KDE libs are fantastic to work with. The only thing I couldn't do was to read the tags before playing them, so I relied in taglib and its python binding, tagpy.
