Elementary based mplayer frontend (for audio files).

Contents |
Introduction
Intone is an elementary based front end for mplayer written in C.
The recommended way to organise music is to put all the files in a folder (lets say Music), with sub folders named after artists (say Music ->Eagles) and with sub sub folders holding albums (that becomes Music->Eagles->Hell Freezes Over->*.mp3). That way, Intone can correctly organise your music collection into albums. It automatically creates a default playlist containing all songs and individual playlists for each album.
Libraries
Intone requires and updated version of elementary and libsqlite3. If you have elementary on your phone upgraded to a level where the elementary test application shows you a demo of sliders and genlists, Intone should run on your phone.
To Install
opkg install libsqlite3-0 libelementary0 http://www.opkg.org/packages/intone_0.50_arm.ipk
