William Cahill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: mytunes - an mp3 player.
System name: mytunes
Type: non-GNU

Description:
mytunes is going to be a wonderful new mp3 player.  I had searched the web, including 
the savannah sites, for mp3 players, and couldn't find any ones to my liking, 
particularly any made for NeXT/Open/GNUstep.  So I started my own.  The current 
(almost ready?) source code can be found at 
http://thuhfreak.isa-geek.com/~bill/mytunes.tar.gz (theres also a bz2'd version).  I 
say almost ready because I still have to work out some gui issues, fix audio, but 
generally everything I want for the first release is there.  I had originally intended 
it to be an xmms-frontend (so you may notice references to xmms throughout the 
code/gui), but I decided to switch gears and go without xmms.  The main advantage (I 
hope) that mytunes will have over other, players (like xmms) is reasonable playlist 
support.  I have recently switched from osx to gnu/linux, and I had loved iTunes and 
how it handled all that.  So I wanted to mimic iTunes smart playlists, and interface a 
bit.  I, of course, won't refer to that program directly in the public description.  I 
tried to keep pretty strict to myself about GPL issues.  I made sure to have a notice 
at the top of every page, and to have the COPYING file at the root.  And, about the 
files that came up before (this is my second registration attempt): I had been trying 
several different id3 libraries (GPL'd or similar), and had intended to link with 
them, but in testing I had their source mixed with mine (sorry).  I think I got rid of 
all of them from the source directory.

Other Software Required:
mytunes depends on GNUstep, Open/NeXTstep, or Mac OS X, or similar system (foundation 
and appkit libraries).  I made it on GNUstep, but hopefully I avoided any GNU-specific 
extensions for portability's sake.  It also uses libmad for mpeg->pcm conversion, and 
libid3tag for reading (and eventually writing) id3 tags.

Other Comments:
I would also be interested, if I meet the requirements, for mytunes to be a part of 
the GNU project.
