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

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