gmpc e-mail

I just got this e-mail: ———————————————————————————————————————————— From: Polyhead Bring back the option of the 0.13 gui, this stuff is garbage. Its big, its ugly, and clumbsy to use for normal listening. I don’t mind what you’ve done with the playlist editor, but the minimized gui is a giant pile of heaping shit.

How to browse through a large music collection efficient.

This is something being bugging me for quiet a while now. What is the  best way to show a large collection of music? Currently it’s done in several ways: Using list/treeviews: 1. By filesystem. 2.

record my desktop and gmpc

Been playing a bit with recordmydesktop (and the gtk frontend), and this has been one of the best and easiest recordings I made.. The only (small) error is the mouse cursor. Here are 3 movies of gmpc:  1(2.8mb),2(10.7mb),3(13.4mb). They aren’t the best recordings, but to lazy to make a better one.. Q

*BLAH BLAH BLAH*

It seemed I reacted a bit pissed, sorry for that, move along nothing to see anymore.

I don’t mind april the first jokes. But this is not fun anymore. slashdot has nothing but aprilfools jokes, one would have been sufficient. (I did laugh allot from about google’s joke.)
