GMusic Player enters Beta

Written for GMusic by Chris Case on 2011-08-09

I've been hacking away at GMusic for a couple of months, now, and I believe that after this most recent commit (r23), GMusic is now feature complete. I have remote support, and libnotify support. I'll be adding Growl notification as soon as I figure out a good way for end users to install the Growl python bindings... I've been using GMusic in KDE 4.7 on my laptop most of the day today, with global hotkeys pointed at the remote script.

All in all, this is exactly what I wanted out of GMusic. Notification support, and hotkeys.

As far as what's left? Well, I'd like to remove the dependency on logging (I'll need to write an empty logger replacement class). This would mean that if it can't find the configuration file (for whatever reason), it doesn't choke and die; it just runs without logging.

After logging, I really want to have a configuration file, and the ability to remember what playlist/track you were playing. (This would require track selection, something I've not looked into, but is perfectly possible.)

Then, I guess, I'll clean up the code, and move some things around.
