TurboX2 is a client for the XMMS2 music player that exploits all the possibilities of the Web 2.0 buzzword.

It allows for complete manipulation of the active playlist, and browsing of the Media Library from one dynamically generated page. TurboX2 also has up to the second playback information, including a functional seek bar and volume control.

Requirements:
XMMS2 0.2DrFeelgood or newer (with Python Bindings)
TurboGears 0.8.9 (will also work with 0.9a8 but requires some minimal modification)

What's New in This Release:
Lots of work has been done to optimize and clean up the code to make it suitable for consumption by those with reasonable technical abilities.
Optimizations included lazy loading of the playlist as well as slow-loading, and a new event system that allows the dispatching of information from XMMS2d to be handled more cleanly in JavaScript.
