Hi. Just wanted to tell you that I''ve just uploaded Albuin - a music player I''ve been working on - to RubyForge. Albuin is heavily inspired by Muine - a music player for GNOME with a really nice and simple UI. As I''m stuck on windows (photoshop, autocad, archicad...) Albuin is my attempt to "port" Muine to windows. Using Ruby and WxRuby as a bonus it''s (or rather: "will be") cross plattform. It is not a straight port and I have only glanced at Muines'' C# source - it''s the UI and not the code that has been stolen... ;-) Here''s a screen shot: http://www.albinholmgren.se/albuin.png Please note that this is pre-alpha software. It''s far from feature complete and only tested on windows with Ruby 1.8.6 and wxruby 1.9.7 on one machine. (As a side note 1.9.7 seems a lot more stable than 1.9.4 which crashed sporadicly - 1.9.7 has never crashed yet) Reports of problems on this or any other platform is welcome. The source is available from svn at rubyforge. Here''s the project page: http://rubyforge.org/projects/albuin/ Check out doc/readme.txt for dependencies and a few random notes. Sorry if this is OT, but I thought that it might interest you to see your hard work getting used.

Albin thanks for the note about your app. I do not consider it off topic, now if you wrote every time you did a minor release that may be considered OT, a once in a while announcement is fine by me. Good to hear that 1.9.7 is more stable than 1.9.4, that is the goal! Alex and Mario have been working hard on reducing segfaults and memory leaks. The screen shot looks good, I will have to give it a go when I get some time.

Also nice to see that you''re able to use some of the newer features eg drag and drop.> Reports of problems on this or any other platform is welcome.I tried to run the application from SVN but I got the following error: INFO MusicDatabase: Checking for existing tables WARN MusicDatabase: Creating new tables D:/WORK/Writing/rb/trunk/lib/MusicDatabase.rb:38:in `setup_datasets'': undefined method `set_row_proc'' for #<Sequel::SQLite::Dataset: "SELECT * FROM `songs`"> (NoMethodError) from D:/WORK/Writing/rb/trunk/lib/MusicDatabase.rb:31:in `initialize'' from D:/bin/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:95:in `new'' from D:/bin/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/singleton.rb:95:in `instance'' from albuin.rb:31 My sequel version is the latest from rubygems, 2.0.1> Sorry if this is OT, but I thought that it might interest you to see > your hard work getting used.Not at all; it''s helpful to see what people are using wxRuby for. We have a page on the wiki listing real-life applications which can help people find sample code etc. I''ve added Albuin but you might want to edit the entry to provide more information http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?OnlineCodeExamples best alex
