Presenting Minirok

I have written a new music player to fulfill my needs, and I’ve dubbed it Minirok. It is written in Python, uses KDE libraries, and GStreamer as a backend. It is also heavily modelled after Amarok, with the look and feel being pretty much identical, but with a reduced set of features.

The main deal is that there is no collection built from tags: only a tree view of the filesystem, which I sorely missed in Amarok. Because of this, most probably only folk whose collection is already structured as a tree at the filesystem level will find it enjoyable.

Version 0.6 was released yesterday, and is already in Debian. Check out the screenshots, and feel free to provide feedback.

P.S.: I am aware that minirok means miniskirt in Dutch.
