Litt dons a tin-foil hat...

I'm thinking that a "music player" is really an assembly of two things:

1) A file to speaker sound converter
2) A playlist handler

Many fine file to speaker sound converters exist. I like mplayer
because it's so controllable from the outside via a fifo. You must use
a different converter for midi files (timidity or whatever).

A playlist handler is a programming 101 assignment enabling you to load
playlists and navigate within them, and while you're at it go backward
and forward in your current song.

I made my own playlist handler out of UMENU, Ruby, and lots of
shellscript type stuff, and I use it regularly. It's nowhere near
perfect, but if you're willing to use Vim to make/maintain your
playlists, it works very well. My system is semi-described in these two
URLs:

My point is this: If a music player has anything but the most
rudimentary dependencies, those dependencies promote either "pretty",
or stuff outside the core competency of a music player.
