Albummer is a simple browser for mp3 collections. It is intended for use with collections of whole albums, rather than individual tracks.

Here are some key features of "Albummer":
Consolidated view of multiple folders containing albums
Find album covers with Google
Play a random album from the collection
Runs on Windows and Linux (and probably others)
Plays music in your favourite player

Limitations:
Makes a lot of assumptions about how your collection is organised
Searching for album covers sometimes hangs
User preferences are very primitive (you have to edit a Python code fragment)

Installation:

1. Install dependencies (see below)
2. Extract the Albummer tar file to a location of your choice
3. Edit config.py to point to your album folders (a nicer way to do this is planned for a future release)
4. Run albummer.py to start Albummer

Requirements:
Python
