[Bashburn-info] trunk: Remove xmmsread.sh?

[Anders L. <and...@gm...>]

I've been thinking about this, since XMMS is not developed anymore, is
there really a reason to keep the XMMS playlist burning functionality?

Do people really use it? I suppose we could change it into "Burn
M3U-file" if people really want something like that. Thoughts?

Seeing as I do not get any mails posted to the list 'posted' at the
moment, please forward.

I think Audacious has superseded xmms (was/is a fork?)... whether they
use the same file extensions, I do not know.  It could be just a case of
tweaking a few names here and there to keep the similar functionality.

I think burning M3U playlists makes sense and is a good feature. This
gives you the possibility to choose what you want on your audio CD using
your favorite audio player. This is in some cases a lot more convenient
than using the command line or graphical file manager. Just think about
creating a CD for a party or some other special event.
