No offence ment but: really a name with 6 (six) syllables? In german we
call this a "Zungenbrecher"(tongue-breaker). Given that it was a lot of
work to actually write the code, choosing a short, speakable and
rememberable name should be the fun-part...

The purpose of Mplayer and more or less its primary power is, that it
supports each and every media-codec in existence. So a mplayer-frontend
that not even supports OGG vorbis appeareth kind of strange to me.

A non-free licensed multimedia-player could be interesting if it allows
to play encrypted DVDs and maybe even copy-restricted files but what
reason shall I have to use a player, that I have to install from a
website, if it only offers a fraction of the features I get from Amarok
with a few mouseclicks in a package-manager?

best regards

HZN
