[wp-hackers] wimpy player AND a possible solution?

[Bjorn Wijers]

Ok, maybe we should try to put something on paper, about what the player 
should be able to do and what NOT. My guess is that it should for now be 
able to load in an xml file (playlist), read the contents (from XML or 
id3 tags?), play,stop,next,previous. For the next step I`d say skinning 
and maybe the ability to play video? Anyways, what are your thoughts 
about it....
