XMMS2

XMMS2 is a music player.

VERSION

This README file is for the "Developer Release" series of XMMS2.

"Developer Release" means that the release is not aimed at your grandma, but rather at developers who wish to help improve XMMS2, by developing clients and plugins, fixing bugs, adding features, writing documentation or anything else that would bring XMMS2 closer to being the perfect music player. Of course, anyone is allowed to try it out, but don't expect everything to work flawlessly just yet. This is a good thing if you don't mind getting your hands dirty.
