******************************************
			  What is it?
******************************************

TMLG is an mpeg-audiostream player. It's the natural evolution of
TMG (The Mpega Gui). Well why another mpeg audio player you might ask?
Here is why:

	* WinAmp skin support.
	* ID3 tagdisplay and editor.
	* Brand new plugin-interface.
	* Volume adjustment while playing.
	* Buffersize adjustable "on the fly".
	* Buffer doesn't need to be 100% full before playing, set it to e.g. 12% :)
	* Can start playing automatically right after startup.
	* Seperate decode options for Layer1-2 and Layer3.
	* Has a time-slider and display.
	* Responds to dragNdrop from WB or Opus!
	* Uses AHI for playback.
	* Has a buffer-usage bar.
	* Shows info about the songs.
	* Has a pause-button.
	* Playlist can be sorted.
	* Songs can be renamed from within the playlist.
	* Has popup-help.
	* Supports multiple settings.
	* Can use a playlist.
	* Supports multiple playlists.
	* Random/sequential play.
	* Takes advantage of asyncio.library if found.
	* Priority adjustment.
	* It's small, even smaller than TMG.
	* It's fast, again, faster than TMG (due to the missing executable).
	* Has a powerfull ARexx port.
	* Doesn't use MUI, but boopsi.
	* Coded as a commodity.
	* Has configureable hotkeys (on the fly!).
	* Responds to tooltypes.


And if this isn't enough, it's possible that you are impossible to satisfy :)
Otherwise my e-mail is starving, waiting for suggestions/comments from you!
