Funky MD progresses quite well, now we've got "mdrecord" a shell script to do fully-fledged recording and titling from your PC to MiniDisc. You can even record a whole MP3 album this way! And: all formats supported by sox' "play" command are also supported by the mdrecord feature (in fact, mdrecord just calls sox' "play" command to do the audio output). Also, titling is now 2,4 times faster than before! (I've found a good level of button press delay that works okay). All this crazy stuff is to be found in CVS - but there will be a 0.2 release soon, i guess =) Please, mail me your comments =)

This release includes "funkymdcli", a command-line utility for using remote-control functions directly on a terminal. Titling support is not available through the command-line interface, although it is already included in the sources.
