where's the source... luke? :) > Hi, > Well, it took a lot longer than I thought - but finally - here's the alpha > release of Intone - a mplayer frontend (for audio files - as of now) in C. > Uses about 2% CPU (max) while running - memory goes up depending on your > playlist - on my phone (~2500 songs) it uses about 15%.
