    PHP is an excellent command-line interpreter, in my opinion.  I'd

say that, in all of my day-to-day PHP programming, about 60% of the code is for the web, with 35% being run from the command line, and 5% magically disappearing, to loud screams of frustration and broken coffee mugs. I had one of those little screams yesterday when I started using the PHP's id3 lib when I realized it's crap because it can't delete or write version 2 tags. Fortunately I found a nice user comment pointing me to the PHP implemented getid3 lib. An hour later my mp3 collection (several thousand ripped from my own CD collection of course :) had nice ID3 tags based on the directories and filenames I had created a few years ago. Wasn't an issue when I was using XMMS but I just switched to Amarok and it makes extensive sensible use of ID3 tags :) Cheers, Rob. -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | InterJinn Application Framework - http://www.interjinn.com | :------------------------------------------------------------: | An application and templating framework for PHP.

Rob, Are you using Amarok on Windows, Linux, or other? I have Amarok 1.3.1 on KDE 3.4.2 on Mandriva 2006.0 Community on 2.6.12-12mdksmp on an i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz w/ 1GB RAM on a desk with a bunch of crap on it, and all it does is crash for me. I use Totem instead, occasionally using xine for audio, and usually for video (different subject). Just wondering how stable Amarok is for you. -- Daniel P.
