     2   <b>Greyhound</b><br />
       
     3   A PHP-based web interface for Amarok
       
     4 </div>
       
     5 <p>I wrote Greyhound because of some issues I was having with other web
       
     6    interface scripts freezing and not working right. Greyhound is my first
       
     7    shot at writing Amarok scripts but it seems to work pretty well.
       
     8    </p>
       
     9 <p>Greyhound's interface is based on the WebControl script by Jonas Christian
       
    10    Drewsen, André Kelpe, and Peter C. Ndikuwera. However unlike WebControl
       
    11    Greyhound is written entirely in PHP, making it a bit more portable. This
       
    12    script doesn't require an external web server to run, it has a relatively
       
    13    basic built-in (single-threaded) server.</p>
       
    14 <p>The script needs a browser with XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) support to work. It's
       
    15    been tested on Firefox 3.0 beta 4 and Safari.</p>
       
    16 <p>It uses Smarty templates so you should be able to customize the HTML to
       
    17    your needs. The template file is /themes/funkymonkey/playlist.tpl. There's
       
    18    also a theme called iphone which is optimized for use on Apple's touch
       
    19    screen based mobile devices. Now your iPod&reg; can control music other than
       
    20    its own :-P</p>

    23   <b>License</b><br />
       
    24   I was originally planning to place this into the public domain but decided to
       
    25   make it <b>GPLv2</b> because it uses so many GPLv2 components.
