SLART: SvOlli's Little Audio Related Thingies

This page is intended to grow as the project grows.

About:

"SvOlli's Little Audio Related Thingies", or "SLART" for short, is a collection of tools I hacked together myself for myself. These tools, once complete, will cover every aspect of handling audio files I came up with.

These tools are

Funcion	Name	Status	Named After The Song By
Player	Partyman	stable beta	Prince
CD Reader	Stripped	alpha	Depeche Mode
Tag Editor	Rubberbandman	alpha	Yello
MySpace Downloader	Funkytown	stable beta	Lipps Inc.
Karma Playlist Management	Karmadrome	alpha	Pop Will Eat Itself
Remote Control Handling	Creep	stable beta	Radiohead
Central Application	Innuendo	alpha	Queen

Some of these programs are rather useless if they are not used together with at least one of the others.

News:

2008-08-04: Hacking still continues, the next version will feature using an sqlite database for much faster startup time (1 to 3 seconds with ~20000 tracks instead of ~30 seconds), a setup wizard and much more. Stay tuned for the next release, or if you want to test the development version, I can provide you with very straight-forward instructions on how to setup an environment for compiling SLART yourself.
2008-05-17: Some more features, some bugs fixed, and now Version 0.6 is ready.
2008-04-06: Screenshots added.
2008-04-05: A beta release of SLART ist now available, expect the release next weekend... if no serious bugs are discovered.
2008-03-16: Although I did some research on the name "SLAT", I didn't know until now, that there is already a tool with that name. So my "SLAT" has been renamed to "SLART".
2008-03-15: Added first version of Creep. Remote control handling is done by using the lirc client library.
2008-02-27: Added first version of Karmadrome, which should now be usable.
2008-02-22: The current development version can be checked out via git.
