 ---------------------

 mplay is a console based frontend for MPlayer written in Perl.
 MPlayer plays most all audio and video formats. 
 mplay is an audio player with usefull functions such as:

	 keeps a browsable and sortable playlist
	 provides essential status information
	 includes a progress bar
	 remembers the position within the track last played before quitting
	 shows ID3-info / tag and it is possible to edit ID3-tag
	 gives user-friendly output through a colour scheme
	 runs as single-instance (provides basic controlling from outside)
	 provides basic mixer functions
	 provides interactive help (German/English) for control keys	

 Requirements
 -------------

	 perl
	 make
	 MPlayer 
 
 Mplayer is available at:
 http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/dload.html
 

 Install
 --------
 
 	 just run ./install
	
	(
		with 'force_install_modules' the perl modules wich are in src/ 
		will be installed automatically without checking if you have this
		perl-modules already installed. That could make sense if you have
		problems or want to update your modules.
	)
	
 you must install mplay to have an interactive help.
