+Herrie - interactive music playlist player
+
+Herrie is a minimalistic music player that uses the command line. It is written
+to support a variety of audio subsystems and file formats, including playlists.
+
+Herrie has a split-screen user interface, with a playlist at the top of the
+screen and a file browser at the bottom. Herrie supports XMMS shortcuts for
+playback control and can play in XMMS mode or "party" mode (which acts as a
+song queue).
+
+Herrie also has some more exotic features, including support for AudioScrobbler
+and the ability to chroot() itself into a directory. The default options for
+this Slackbuild are set for no scrobbler, http, nls, modplugin, wave, or XSPF
+support. ALSA is the chosen sound output and Ncurses (NOT Ncursesw) is the chosen
+'gui'. This makes it so the program can be built with the least amount of
+dependencies (with these options all of them should be included in
+Slackware 12). See the README in the herrie source for the dependencies
+needed if you enable these other options.
+
+Also see README.SBo for useage and configuration help. \ No newline at end of file
