xalbumlist

A Control Program for XMMS

by James Curbo <jcurbo@acm.org>



xalbumlist is a Unix application for loading directories of audio files into XMMS, similar in concept to the Winamp plugin AlbumList. It is written in Perl using Gtk2-Perl, MP3::Info, and Xmms::Perl (the latter being available on CPAN)

This is my first application using GTK+, or XMMS's plugin API, and was mainly written because I was tired of not having AlbumList around in Debian. Thus, it's very rough around the edges. I welcome patches.

At first I tried writing this in C using GTK+ and libxmms, but I seem to have ran into some problems with xmms_remote_playlist_add() freezing XMMS.
I figured I'd give GtkPerl a shot, and found it to be much much easier to deal with. The result is this.

Version 2 has been completely rewritten, using gtk2-perl and Glade to design the user interface. Thus, you need libglade and Gtk2::GladeXML.
