Sadly, I did not get the response I was hoping for. I cannot code everything myself, my time is limited. > The main problem with Freevo 2.0 is my and Jason's lack of time the last > year.

I started changing the internals of kaa.candy which is close to be done.

You can use paypal and dis...@freevo.org for donations. I git two donations, one very generous. But these do not even cover the last years. > Long mail and I hope to get some feedback.

If I have to do it myself, Freevo 2.0 will stay the way it is right now only with a changed GUI backend and some bugs fixed. That would be sad. Dischi -- Time is a drug.
