emms in Emacs?

emms in Emacs?

[Karl Berry]

The authors of emms (Emacs Multi-Media System) have offered their
package to GNU.  As with rcirc, rms and I would like to solicit any
opinions from this group on the package, especially from people who have
actually used it.  Here's the link:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/EMMS

It is apparently a replacement for the mp3player package
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/MpthreePlayer).  Other
alternatives, such as mpg321.el and mpg123.el target specific players;
emms tries to be more general.

Thanks,
Karl

I use emms. Its a nice package.

Its very configurable, and handles many different players, and handles
different scenarios.

The drawbacks Ive experienced with EMMS has more to do with emacs
suitability as a frontend to real-time oriented processes in general.
