whitesaint - i agree with the geek mon. keep plugging if it's something you enjoy. you'll get a success eventually. take these things as lessons learned. apply them and move on. and don't let the idiots at VT and elsewhere geet to you. seems like people around here are willing to give you advice. some of it's even worth listening to.

my guess, just from the scuttle butt i read, is that your latest project might be a good one but it isn't ready for prime time. certainly not for charging money for. switch the status to beta and continue on. igonore the naysayers and hang on to every bit of praise you get, no matter how small.

(and remember you can always just share with members of this community untill there is a majority saying thumbs up. we tend to weed out the people who call names but contribute nothing of their own )

I am monitoring you...

No, you just didn't understand my question. I was asking how programming the player is going.

I must be really tired today
Can someone help me and tell me what's so great about a command line MP3 player ? I think OSX was trying to get as far as possible from black screens with white monospaced font all over the place.

I mean, what's useful in a command line MP3 player in this century ?

I think its basically the fact that it would require very little system resources/processor power/ram/HD/etc.

I think I'll stick with iTunes though...

A command line MP3 player would take up very little system resurces. As it is right now, iTunes takes up 14-20% of my CPU time to play music. When I had Linux PPC 2000 installed and ran XMMS (a WinAMP clone), XMMS only required 3-5% of my CPU time. That is a HUGE difference in CPU resources. I don't need to watch animated graphics in synch with the music, I just need to listen to the music with as little of teh system resources taken away a possible.

For what it's worth, Finder only takes between 2% and 6% on my system while playing MP3s using column view preview. Now if only I could get it to automatically play the next song in the list…
