Hi.
Here's background info:
I'm very picky when it comes to functionality, and I love features that some
people maybe even never heard about, or knew existed. One of these features
is the "A-B" button on my remote control for my Technics SL-P470 (audio cd
player). As a musician having to figure out song lyrics and train guitar
solos for the next cover song that we will play live, the A-B feature is
extremly crucial. I have asked the authors of winamp and xmms numerous times
about this feature, for at least 4(?) years, well since winamp 1.7.3... Guess
what? No responce...
The good news is that a guy named "Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura" made a
patch for xmms. I rediffed this patch for the mandrake package and it works
like a charm! This is so cool! I love it! Now I can use the PC as a training
device for learning songs and stuff! Awesome!
I guess a lot of fellows (Austin?) would appreciate this patch if they only
knew about it, and realized the benefits of it. My patches are applied to
this mail.
To learn more about it, please read this mail:
http://lists.xmms.org/pipermail/xmms-devel/2002-January/002282.html
(2002-January, duh!)
I made packages for Mandrake Linux 9.2, check here:

Chears.
