Random hacks

Yesterday night, I listed all the things I had to do and started trying to decide which I should do first...

As any good programmer, I couldn't make up my mind on what to do, and so I started doing something else O:-)

I finally took the time to combine mplayer and root-tail to do something I had long desired for :-) I can now play mp3's, mpeg's, whatever, and have the lyrics (when available in a given directory) on the background :-) Yes, they change automatically :-)

The script still has some problems, of course... I can't make use of the > and the < keys to move to the next or the previous file, and it sometimes take a few ^C's to stop playing, but at least it does what I wanted :-)
