i recompiled x11amp today and it started leaking memory. I took that as inspiration and started my new mp3 player frontend. I've been looking around for a player that would output the filename of the current song to a text file so that I could include it somewhere here (sort of a "what I'm listening to right now" type thing), but I haven't been able to find one. So I'm writing a frontend to mpg123. Right now it opens a playlist, randomizes it, plays mp3's, and writes the text file. Not a bad start for 15 minutes of work, but it's still got a long way to go. I'm planning on a GUI using Gtk::Perl if I ever get around to it.
