hey guys, i wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but here seemed like a good enough place. I'm just an amateur programmer and a linux newb at best, but here goes:
i recently downloaded the most recent version of imp3sh i could find (0.2.4) released july of '04, and found it to be a damn good command line mp3 player/command shell. I've discovered that i actually like its playlist management more than any player with a gui i've been able to find. All was well except for one thing, the the code that imp3sh uses to load id3 tags from mp3's is apparently quite outdated seeing as the only id3 it can manage is id3v1. well i got to messing with it, and i changed a small portion of the id3 code so that it can read track numbers if and when they exist in id3v1.1 format. This small change allows playlists to be sorted by track number, so that no special management is needed to arrange a playlist for an album in its original order.
i must say that i was quite surprised that i hadn't found source available from people that had done similar things to modify imp3sh. if user modified versions of imp3sh do exist, please let me know.
if you want to download the zipped tarball, which contains all of the original source as well as the 2 updated files, you can point yourself here:
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mboehm/www/imp3sh-0.2.4-1
the README and code comments explain the change in greater depth and the (-1) is for revision one of the original source (i'm considering other improvements to the code). feedback would be quite welcome at mboehm@uiuc.edu
thanks
