Yokos has greatly improved upon the original script. Here are the current features:
Quote:
- Playlist Control: You can load external .m3u playlists created with your favourite software music player, & generate playlists by searching for metadata in mpd database (artist, album, genre, date).
- crossfading
- seeking
- Jukebox is now path independent. You can install it anywhere you want.
- Installation script copies mpc to /usr/bin/mpc. If you use mrxvt, you can control jukebox in any path e.g. mpc next for play next song.
- "Terminate mpd" button - this kills the mpd process.
- Contentlister Link to "iLiad Settings" under "Other Con-trols"
- mpd saves status when it terminates, therefore scripts can load status of last playback.
- volume control
- single track repeat mode
- shuffle playlist
- repeat playlist

I've setup a series of scripts to allow you to play music through the contentlister. It uses a program called MPD. MPD is a music player daemon, the same one used in the ipodlinux project. It's small, lightweight, and easy to use.
I've compiled it with the following Format Support:

File Format Support:
ID3 tag support ...............enabled
mp3 support ...................enabled
Ogg Vorbis support ............enabled
using tremor.................no
Wave file support .............enabled
MOD support ...................enabled

It's controlled via a series of shell scripts. But, this allows it to play music in the background while you do other things (read, play chess, etc). I've tested it a bit, and as long as the bitrate is pretty low, you won't see any skipping. Otherwise, it may skip for a split second when you turn the page.
