Library
|
xtunes maintains a library of all the digital music files it
knows about. Music files get into the library by either ripping
cds or importing existing files.
|
|
Music Playback
|
xtunes supports the standard playback methods
including loop and random to play any song in the library.
The user can create unlimited playlists of any length to
specify the playback of their music. xtunes can play any
audio cd.
|
|
Rip
|
xtunes can rip any audio cd into any supported digital music
format. It uses cddb to look up information about the cd. A
playlist is automatically created for the cd and all the songs are
organized into the library.
|
|
Burn
|
Creating an audio cd using xtunes is a piece of cake. Simply
select a playlist and click the burn button and xtunes handles
all the rest: decoding the songs in the playlist to wav files,
spawning cdrecord to create the cd.
|
|
Plugins
|
xtunes is built with an extensible plugin framework,
similar to xmms or the gimp. Plugins are used for decoding,
encoding, song information, and output. This allows xtunes to
support ripping/playing/burning multiple digital music
formats.
