NEW RELEASE!!  Tickle Tunes 0.7 released 09/12/2008

Tickle Tunes started as a program for playing tunes, primarly, but, of course, being a front-end for mplayer, it also plays movies!  It will play a dir-full, one song, or make and play a list of songs, or play a video, and, you can change the "skin" (or, at least the colors of the window background and text).  Tickle Tunes 0.7 adds support for playing DVDs, and for playing a directory recursively (playing sub-directories, as well).  Tickle Tunes is brought to you by Tony Baldwin & Baldwin Software.

Here is the obligatory screenshot.

Dependencies:

* This should be obvious, but, just in case, Tickle Tunes requires mplayer to work.

tcl 8.5 from www.tcl.tk
download tcl8.5 from sourceforge
 ActiveTcl8.5  

What is MPlayer?  Ah, well MPlayer is an awesome, cross-platform video/audio player.

Mplayer plays .ogg, .mp3, and other popular music formats, as well as all popular video formats, such

as .mpg, .wmv, .avi, plays DVDs and audio CDs, etc.  Great for watching movies or listening to music.
