Hi, I have approved your project.
About inclusion in the gnu project, check <http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_toc.html> I would like to bring to your attention that mp3 is a proprietary format encumbered with several patents. Even if it's currently free as beer, it is not free as in freedom of speech. There's a good alternative, which is called ogg vorbis. It would be very nice if your software support also this format.

And, about the files that came up before (this is my > second registration attempt): I had been trying several different id3 libraries > (GPL'd or similar), and had intended to link with them, but in testing I had their > source mixed with mine (sorry).

I made it on GNUstep, but hopefully I avoided > any GNU-specific extensions for portability's sake. It also uses libmad for > mpeg->pcm conversion, and libid3tag for reading (and eventually writing) id3 tags. > > Other Comments: > I would also be interested, if I meet the requirements, for mytunes to be a part of > the GNU project. > > _______________________________________________ > Message sent via/by Savannah > http://savannah.nongnu.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > Savannah-hackers mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers -- Mathieu Roy Homepage: http://yeupou.coleumes.org Not a native english speaker: http://stock.coleumes.org/doc.php?i=/misc-files/flawed-english _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
