Subject: FreeAmp becomes Zinf! From: Robert Kaye To: freeamp-dev@freeamp.org, freeamp-announce@freeamp.org Date: 24 Jun 2002 00:29:53 -0700 Hey! Since EMusic is getting wrapped into mp3.com, the machine that FreeAmp is being hosted on will be going away soon. Furthermore, the lovely folks at Play Media have been excercising their trademark of the word AMP, and forcing EMusic to make FreeAmp go away or change its name. Lame. Given these two events, I've moved the FreeAmp source code into a new project over at SourceForge called Zinf. Why Zinf? Zinf: Zinf is not FreeA*p! Plus Google spit out next to nothing for a search on Zinf, and the domain was available. So, the new home of the old FreeAmp codebase will now live on: http://www.zinf.org I have applied a few patches, fixed a couple of bugs, changed the name, removed the Bitzi/MusicBrainz/Relatable stuff that wasn't really working anyway, and slimmed down the codebase a bit. I've made a new release of the player, version 2.2.0: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zinf/zinf-2.2.0.exe http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/zinf/zinf-2.2.0.tar.gz I think Zinf should be a no-frills, but solid and useful audio player for Windows and Linux. However, I spend so much of my time working on MusicBrainz, that I have little to no time to work on Zinf. I think it would be a shame to see Zinf just fade away, so I'd like to encourage people to help out and become part of the project. For anyone that who would be interested in taking the lead on Zinf, getting CVS write access, or otherwise help keep the project going, go to SourceForge, get a login and drop me a line -- I'll give you access to the codebase. -- --ruaok Freezerburn!
