Get it while it`s hot at http://rdtj.sourceforge.net.

This release adds a lot of new features, such as support for multiple players with one-click playlist migration, sophisticated web-enabled "add" script to automate the process of building your mp3 database, a nearly complete rewrite of the player back-end, countless interface improvements and umpteen bugfixes.

See the CHANGELOG file at http://rdtj.sourceforge.net/CHANGELOG for complete details.

The third stable release in 3 days. This release focused on the front-end code with some great improvements: there are now tools to administer artists, albums, and songs; there is now a central front-end configuration system; a number of new usability features in the interface; a player controls area, and pause/play functionality; adjustable auto-refresh; and more.

This is a substantial upgrade, coming on the heels of the initial release. ("release early, release often").

Minor bugfixes. Major code cleanup streamlining and commenting.

New features:

mass-kill on request lists; IP address tracking and display;
"Greatest hits" list and all the wholesome goodness therein;
"play an entire album" feature; display of playing and requested
songs in songs list; command-line args/usage/etc. in backend;
verbose mode for mpg123; many more backend options/configs;
fixed backend to allow tracking greatest hits; logging to stdout
by default; added '-' filehandle; support for remote host db's
on backend; updated README documentation to track new features
upgrade directory in CVS; updated queue table to store IP's;
added upgrade script from 0.1->0.2; pretty colors; yada yada yada

Tonight I released the initial (working) version of the code for RDTJ. Of course, as per usual, documentation will follow later. There are a number of feature requests and even some things that could be considered bugs. This is very much a "grain of salt" type of release. Enjoy.
