Songbird

This is a command line shell for queuing music tracks.

It relies on you having a songbird database that has all of your tracks imported.

This is eventually supposed to be platform independent but at this stage will probably only work on mac os x.

Usage

Here you sit expectantly in front of a computer at the command line.

gem install songbirdsh

songbirdsh

If readline was correctly installed, you should find that tab completion works for all of the commands.
