========

Spotlight-based music scheduler for Mac OS X. Playlists are text files

with track queries.

Playlist file example::

  Nine Inch Nails - Heresy

  Kraftwerk - Ohm Sweet Ohm

  Animal Collective - Also Frightened

To schedule playlist::

  $ chmod +x mdplayer.py

  $ mdplayer.py playlist.txt

The scheduler will use the system ``mdfind`` and ``mdls`` services

to locate music files that match the queries.

The default music player is `Vox `_. Use

the ``-a`` option to specify a different application.

Why?

----

Playlists are hard to manage using a GUI, and using this scheduler you

can use any application to play your music (iTunes still does not play

FLAC files).

Spotlight importers

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

Spotlight importers expose metadata in files to Spotlight, allowing

easy, powerful desktop searching of your computer's contents.

To improve indexing for FLAC and OGG audio files, Stephen F. Booth

provides `importers `_ available as free

software -- `GPL `_.

Note that Mac OS X comes with full indexing for MP3 files.
