Instead of the comma thing you could do multiple completing-reads until
the user gives empty input. This way multiple tags could be entered
with the ability to complete individual tags.
That would be really inconvenient in practical use. It would be
better to use a single minibuffer

Since last year we have been trying to set up the Emacs 22.1 release
and not installing any new features.
We don't want to put in any Windows-only features, since our goal is
to eliminate proprietary systems, not enhance them. However, if the
feature also works on GNU/Linux, then we might want

From what I've read I'd expect
that free software is a subset of open source software (i.e. not all open
source software is free in the sense that it protects our freedoms).
That looks like a common misunderstanding, based on confusing free
with copyleft. A license is a free software
My understanding is that RealPlayer uses secret codecs.
Only reverse-engineering makes it possible to write free
decoders. And I think they change the codecs frequently.
Thus, we need to pressure sites that use RealPlayer format
to stop using it and switch to a public standard format.
Yes there is the Helix Player which is GPL if I recall properly.
Helix is the top level of RealPlayer. I recall that its license is
something unusual, not the GNU GPL, and I do not recall whether it is
a free license. But I am sure that it only handles the container
level. It has to call

You (the GNU project) already does so with EMMS.
What is EMMS, and how does EMMS relate to mplayer?
It's an Emacs interface to various command line media players. It also
has a lot of features you would expect from a full blown GUI media
player, like playlists,
Many others aim to convince people to migrate to GNU/Linux, often by
forgetting about freedom as a goal. That may be what you are doing
here.
Free software somehow has to interact with the real world,
I am just as aware of that as you are. Where we may disagree is in

You're wrong, EMMS is indeed a GNU project.

and perhaps you're missing some of the subtlety of david's point: if
mplayer did not support non-free codecs, some (many) people wouldn't even
consider giving GNU/Linux a try.
This is exactly what I mentioned in my previous message. The mplayer
approach sacrifices the appreciation of
The difference between Richard's and your perspective is that your
approach is possibly focusing more on the usability issues and

For executing previous command I did some investigation and looked up
how `repeat' does it and it was way too complicated to me with a lot
of handling of special cases.
We could move some of that code to a subroutine which you could call.
That should be pretty straightforward.

The non-free codecs that I'm talking about are the ones that are
binary-only (or those that have non-free licenses; but I am not sure
that case occurs). I don't see any ethical problem in distributing
programs that are patented or illegal in certain countries, as long
as
It seems that EMMS is a GNU package--a separate one.

What do you mean by situation?
It means, the relevant facts. I don't want to reach a premature
conclusion.
Which means that EMMS tries mpg321 (for mp3s), ogg123 (for ogg
The fact a piece of free software allows you to use non-free
software/codecs in itself is not an issue. Rather its the extent
to which it facilitates doing so that is of concern. the FSF isn't
so ideological as to try and ban the use of free software - if
they were, you
Then please have a look at the *long* list of supported codecs by the

Maybe they did -- I don't know. But even if that is true, it is just
one factor in the decision about mplayer. The most important factor
is that we must not act as if
i'm not familiar enough with the start of the open source movement, but the
way i've always understood it is that those who started it did not have the

What is now called ``Emacs 23'' is no longer the Unicode branch, but the
trunk (which is in version 23.0.50, not .51).
Since the trunk now says 23.0.50, and unicode-2 says 23.0.0.1, the
term Emacs 23 seems confusing. I think we had best avoid that term.

These modes really ought to be subdiided. Ideally a node would be no
