Media-Detect!
It is a great piece of software, and an excellent idea!
Let me please make a suggestion: would it be possible to integrate it into Lineak, so it becomes part of the same code and therefore it is not necessary to have both a Lineakd configurator and a Media-Detect configurator? This would also probably ease a clean extension of the Keyboard KDE control module? - Jan 23 2004

Please do not think I am flaming you. I respect your work and I thank you for having made it available to the community. However, what do you think about extending existing applications (collaborating with application maintainer), rather than starting a new project? I am a Linux/KDE user and I like OpenSource in general, but I think one weakness of OpenSource is "too many projects to do the same thing, none is complete". I am just interested in knowing your opinion about that.

Oh, I did not think about that. So, what about id3lib now? I respect your decision, it seems to be founded. What do you think about compatibility, and all applications that rely on id3lib? Please note I am just curious, I am not bashing you! However I must admit I think that in general we have far too many ways to do the same thing with OpenSource, and it is difficult to, say, standardize a little. What do you think about that?
