Re: [Gtkpod-devel] web site home page error

Thanks for that.  I'm curious if there is anyone out there still  
actively using gtkpod.  I only fire it up rarely for an ancient iPod  
Shuffle, and it's more nostalgia then real use - for which my android  
phone is more than sufficient.  I suppose it's effectively abandonware  
at this point.
