1 Gnome Simple Stateful Music Player
2 ==================================
7 GSSMP is a music player designed to work with Gnome. It does not store a
8 database of all your music, but is designed to work with music files organised
9 into directories. It is small, unobtrusive, and tries to do what you would
10 expect, instead of asking you questions.
12 It remembers which file was playing on exit, and continues that file from the
13 same place when you start again. It remembers tracks you have been listening
14 to recently and displays them in the "Recent" menu.
16 GSSMP has been developed on Linux, but should theoretically work with any
17 operating system that supports the standard GNOME environment.
19 Full documentation may be found in the Help menu of the program. This file
20 only contains brief instructions on how to use the binary and source tarballs,
21 and some licence information.
26 The easiest way to install GSSMP is to use a package created for your Linux
27 distribution. You can find some of these packages at http://gssmp.sf.net
28 or you may even find it is already included with your distro.
30 If you'd like to use the generic binary, download the file gssmp-*.tar.bz2 from
31 the "gssmp" package on sourceforge, and do this:
33 tar -xjf gssmp-*-bin.tar.bz2
38 Alternatively, if you'd like to install from source, download the source
39 tarball and follow these steps:
41 tar -xjf gssmp-*.tar.bz2
47 There are more details in the file INSTALL.
