my git branches: acoustic fingerprinting and playlist generator

[Soren Harward]

Hiya Amarok Developers:

I haven't been able to do much Amarok work for about six weeks now
because of my work situation.  After about six months of unemployment
(which gave me lots of Amarok coding time), I just started a part-time
teaching job, so I spent most of December going through certification
and putting together lesson plans.  And I've just been offered a
full-time job which starts at the beginning of February, so it doesn't
look like I'll be getting much Amarok work done then, either.  I have
a brief lull over the next couple of days, and at the request of Lydia
and Teo, I'm going to polish up the stuff I've had sitting in my
personal git branch and get it committed to trunk some time this
weekend.  I'm sending out this email as much to give myself a deadline
as I am to warn you that some new things are incoming.

More thorough descriptions of what's in the code, and more
importantly, what's still missing from it, will be in the commit
messages.  In the meantime, I would appreciate it if those of you who
are inclined could download GTACFeat from SourceForge and play around
with it; Amarok's acoustic fingerprinting code depends on this
library.  It's the first piece of software I've written and packaged
from the ground up, and there are bound to be quirks in it that need
to be addressed before it's ready for major consumption when A2.1
comes out.  Please email me bug reports (patches are especially
appreciated!).

Thanks.  I'm sorry that my involvement has been very limited for the
last couple of months, and will likely continue to be so until the
summer.  But on the other hand, it is really nice to be working for a
paycheck again.
