Music Applet is a small, simple GNOME panel applet that lets you control Rhythmbox's playback from a panel.

Advantages that this applet has over using the icon Rhythmbox puts in the notification area include:

- One-click access to the main operations needed during playback, without needing to use a context menu.
- Display of the current playing time without requiring a mouse-over.
- Display of the current song's album in the song information.

Music Applet currently supports the following music players:

- Banshee
- Rhythmbox

Music Applet is the successor to Rhythmbox Applet.

Requirements:

· Rhythmbox
· xmlBlaster

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Handle the case where a notification popup gets destroyed prematurely, to prevent the applet from hanging when the player closes.
· Fix processing of album art retrieved from Rhythmbox so that it shows in the song info tooltip.
