+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, modplugin, wave, 
+or XSPF support.  ALSA is the chosen sound output.  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 12.1).  See the README in the herrie source for 
+the dependencies needed if you enable other options.
+
+This SlackBuild also includes some experimental patches to add functionality to 
+herrie.  These include adding more signals and remote control, file filtering, and 
+autoquit upon playlist completion.
+
+These patches are not used by default in this slackBuild, so you either need to 
+set their corresponding option in the build script or run the script with the 
+respective variable set.  For example, this would choose to use all three patches:
+	AUTOQUIT=YES SIGNALS=YES FILTER=YES herrie.SlackBuild
+
+Please see README.SBo for usage and configuration help for this and other options.
