implement into IRMP3 and a page that gives a brief overview of my intentions regarding future
releases of IRMP3. As always, comments are welcome.
I've also uploaded a new tool to the user contributed page - irmp3play.pl. It's a small perl
script that uses mod_netctl to submit a play command to an IRMP3 daemon.
16 Jan 2001: minor website modifications
I've changed the contact page a bit - it does no longer refer to the README
file for instructions on how to subscribe to the mailing list. The user-contributed page has

I decided to re-design the page using wml instructions. (Thanks, David!)
