Hey, when I did I sign up as events coordinator :-)

If a bunch of people are interested I don't mind organising something in 
Chester. I guess the venue depends on if it's a presentations type 
thing, or just meeting up over a few jars.

Well I'm going to stick it on Sourceforge or Savannah soon, so if 
anyone's interested I can mail them the details when it's up. The player 
part is already finished, and supports MP3+G (CDG) and MPG, but is only 
launchable from the command line.

I'm working on the GUI now as the command line isn't much use at a party 
in the middle of the night. So far there's a barebones GUI with a 
searchable song database and playlist. Doesn't look very pretty yet, 
that was never my forte. It would be nice to find a wxpython guru out 
there with time on their hands :-)

Kelvin.
