Notes

Tested 2010-05-26 under Unity Linux 2010 64bit rc1, updated 2010-05-17.

Their website says 0.3.1 is the latest version, but the Unity Linux repository has 0.6.0. Odd.
Seems to die a horrible death trying to play my mp3s. It claims it cannot find them.
- Example invalid filename: Tryad [2006-12-29, Listen #03] - Alone ~.ogg
- Even if renamed, I get gstplaybasebin.c(2327): prepare_output (): /GstPlayBin:
Has no commandline option to get the version number. Actually, it has no real commandline options to speak of. Damn.

This is just an amateur unhardened program. It has a curious philosophy but it needs to grow up a lot before it can ever see serious use.

Hell, I can't even do christine filename.mp3 .. seriously, that's sad.
