        ## About
        
        nymp is a graphical command line client for xmms2. It is library focused and
        provides a tree view on your collection.
        
        ## Status
        
        The project is already usable but there is still some missing functionality. The
        author uses it on a daily basis. See the 'TODO' file for a (probably incomplete
        and outdatet) list of planned additional features.
        
        ## Dependencies
        
        * XMMS2
        * Python 2.X (developed with Python 2.6, tested on Python 2.5)
        * urwid (python-urwid in Debian)
        * Python bindings for XMMS2 (python-xmmsclient in Debian)
        
        ## Usage
        
        ### XMMS2
        
        nymp is a frontend for XMMS2. It doesn't play any files by itself but forwards
        these tasks to XMMS2. The library is handled by XMMS2 as well.
        
        XMMS2 follows a philosophy related to the Unix principle 'Make each program do
        one thing well.'. It offers a client/server infrastructure where multiple
        clients are able to manipulate the state of the music playback. You therefore
        should use other clients to achieve the best user experience.
        
        The most important task nymp doesn't handle is media library management. You
        should install `xmms2-mlib-updater` to automatically import your media files
        into the media library and scan for changes. It is part of most distributions.
        
        ### Startup
        
        Use `launch.py` in `./src/` to start the program. You can also add a link to it in
        your `bin` directory. If nymp is not able to connect to the XMMS2 server,
        `xmms2-launcher` is called to start one.
        
        ### Key Bindings
        
        The key bindings are subject to change in the near future. They are loosely
        vim-oriented. Configuration and a command line will be implemented later.
        
        Incomplete overview:
        
        * x - play/pause
        * c - stop
        * z/v - previous/next
        * d - delete from playlist (and put into buffer)
        * a - append to playlist
        * p - paste from buffer
        * y - save to buffer
        * j/k/arrow keys - navigate
        * h/l/tab - change column (library/playlist)
        * enter - collapse tree node/jump to playlist item
        * space - mark/unmark item
        * alt+space - unmark all
        * 9/0 - change volume
        
        You can use the mouse, too.
        
        ## Todo and ideas
        
        - second xmms connection for heavy operations (library ...)
        - playlist update (sort, shuffle, update)
        - library update
        - library browser root?
          - collections
            - collection management?
          - search?
        - search
          - find and/or filter?
        - adding a command line?
          - hotkeys -> commands?
          - auto completion
        - playlists
        - playback status
        - seek
