Hi,
I've just released PyTone 2.1.0 which contains many features that have been
requested by you, the users. It can be downloaded from the usual place:
http://www.luga.de/pytone/download/PyTone-2.1.0.tar.gz
Note that its a .0 release, so some things may not yet work in an optimal
way... The relevant portion of the ChangeLog is attached.
Enjoy,
Jörg

* Version 2.1.0 released.

is present (when using eyeD3 module).

the playbackinfochanged event.

very early (currently during the first 10 seconds) (closing Debian
bug #218283).
* playlist.py: Do not set playingsong by using the playbackinfochanged
event of the player since this leads to race conditions.

to specify a command executed when the playback of a new song starts.
