1 Hi guys.
2
3 This is a tool for interfacing Creative's Nomad II MG flash mp3 player. It was
4 a rather decent one at its time, but that was, well, long ago. I even wrote a
5 simplistic gui for that tool :). (And, incidentally, this is how I inherited
6 the package).
7
8 I don't have the device any longer. Also, the package did not see any updates
9 since 2003. I guess it may be considered "stale" at this point and given to
10 tree cleaners. Especially considering that it ceased to compile on x86 once
11 more (bug #152131). However, looking at how there is only one bug on it
12 (which though may merely indicate low interest) I want to give it some
13 resemblace of a 2nd chance.
14
15 If anybody still cares about this thing, please, by all means I am happy to
16 give it up. I will help with whatever problems come up with the gui part, but
17 I cannot maintain the tool itself. I am going to keep that bug open for
18 another month or so and in the absence of any interest I will give the
19 package to tree cleaners..

21 Also, there seems to be an alternative for this one - nomadii-utils, which
22 seem to cover this player. However I never tested those myself and the latest
23 they seem to have been touched by the upstream is 2002..
