I am proud to announce the first release of Pogo, probably the simplest and fastest audio player for Linux.

You can get the tarball and an Ubuntu deb package at http://launchpad.net/pogo

What is Pogo? -------------------- Pogo plays your music. Nothing else. It tries to be fast and easy-to-use. Pogo's elementary-inspired design uses the screen-space very efficiently. It is especially well-suited for people who organize their music by albums on the harddrive. The main interface components are a directory tree and a playlist that groups albums in an innovative way. Pogo is a fork of Decibel Audio Player. Supported file formats include Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Musepack, Wavpack, and MPEG-4 AAC. Pogo is written in Python and uses GTK and gstreamer.

What's new in 0.2 "I hold the candle while you dance upon the flame" (2010-10-21) ==================================================================== * Make startup even faster by saving the playlist with its formatting * Make track drag'n'drop faster by caching the tracks * MPRIS support: Send DBus messages about play events (code from decibel) * Do some profiling to improve general speed * Append files added on commandline (pogo mytrack.mp3 myalbum myothertrack.mp3) * Append files added from nautilus right-click menu * Correctly add multiply nested directories * Activate the Covers and Notifications modules by default * Hide volume button (Only duplicates functionality of the Sound Indicator) * Updated Translations
