Zinf command line

[Steve Holmes]

I will answer both Deedra and Charlie on this one.  I got the source
(v2.2.0) from www.zinf.org and compiled it.  I also had to download
musizbrainz and compiled/installed it as well.  www.zinf.org has a
link to musicbrainz for our convenience.  After installing zinf with
one little hassle, I can play mp3's and ogg 1.0 files with no
problem.  The one hassle I had was it requiring some /share/gnome or
something.  I just created those folders from the install error and
ran the install again til it worked.  I think there is a bug in the
make install and plan to show it to the developers if it is worth my
time:).

It's a neet program but I wish I could use some more of its features
like CD's, and auto playlist management.  Sure helps to have some
docs, even if limitted, at least one could get started.  I've posted
similar questions to the zinf-users list and have had no response from
anyone on the subject.  Guess I'll send the message again.
