Intone
Elementary based mplayer frontend (for audio files).
|
Contents |
[edit] 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. It automatically creates a default playlist containing all songs and individual playlists for each album.
[edit] Libraries
Intone requires and updated version of libelementary0, libsqlite3-0, libvorbis, id3lib and mplayer.
[edit] To Install
opkg install mplayer libvorbis libsqlite3-0 libelementary0 id3lib http://www.opkg.org/packages/intone_0.66_arm.ipk
