-Cynthiune (january 2004)

-What is Cynthiune?
-------------------
-Cynthiune is a free software and romantic music player for GNUstep and MacOSX.
-I wrote it originally as a christmas gift to a girl that I liked because she
-could not listen to music on her Mac with a free program. Since then, I decided
-to make it public and add even more features to make it a complete and useable
-media player.
-
-For the moment, it looks pretty much like XMMS, Winamp and similar software.
-Even though it has far less features than those, the essential components of a
-usable and user-friendly program are there in my opinion.
-
-From a programmatic point-of-view, I have decided to write a program that is
-released only when considered bug-free. The free software community lacks,
-IMnsHO, a sense of quality that makes its programs nearly useless to
-lambda users. Not only is it useless, but I think it also gives free software
-a bad reputation. The principle of freedom in "free software" is fundamental
-to me, but it has to be reachable not only by some sort of geeky elite. There
-is no point in telling users that since they have the freedom to enhance those
-programs, they must fix them if they want to use them. Releasing a program
-with too many bugs is of no use and is likely not to interest other fellow
-programmers in the community either.
-
-On the other hand, Apple has published an interesting program called "iTunes".
-Of course, it is not free software but it does implement interesting ideas
-that I would like to include in Cynthiune. For example: CD burning, complete
-playlist management, etc... Personally I find its user interface to be not as
-user-friendly as it could be. My plan is thus to take advantage of my own
-programming skills and sense of aesthetics (and ergonomy) to try to write
-something a little bit different, inspired both by XMMS/Winamp and iTunes.
-Cynthiune is thus currently very basic but its core design is starting to be
-extensible enough that it will not be too much trouble to enhance it.
