Hi!
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this -



I'd like to announce a new open source project: skiTunes. It's an open-source alternative to iTunes that's faster and sports more features than iTunes does - namely that it's written in Cocoa and uses normal system resources rather than it's own. Because of this, themers will have a much easier time making skiTunes match the rest of the system.

Other planned features include:
• WMA/OGG playback. It will also support any format supported by VLC.
• Multiple iPod management
• iPod --> Computer transfers
•_Skinnable "mini-mode"
• Built-in integration with Adium, Growl, and other opensource projects
• SkinKit - don't like the layout/look of skiTunes? Just cook up a Nib file and a few graphics and you have a skin!
• Nearly unlimited extensibility with plugins
• Compatible with iTunes library files
• Ability to sort and view video files (great for music vids!)


So basically, it's iTunes on steroids - I'm hoping this might become the Adium of music players

The project is in desperate need of members - If you can help in any of the following areas, please IM me. No web designs/graphics are needed; I have that covered.

Currently needed:
- General Obj-C/Cocoa programmers
- Quicktime programmers
- CoreAudio programmers
- XML gurus

There are other people needed I can't think of right now - IM me to see if you might be able to help.

Here's the project's SF page and website:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/skitunes/
http://skitunes.sourceforge.net/

I don't have CVS set up yet - that's coming soon.


PS - If I've violated a rule by looking for coders, I am sincerely sorry - If this is the case, mods, feel free to remove the thread.

Thanks,
John

Uh, being written in Cocoa isn't really a feature...
