I know lots of folks use and like zinf, so I thought I would give it a test run here. I installed zinf, zinf-extras, and zinf-plug-in-alsa on this Debian system, and then looked in vain for clues in the documentation as to how to get started. I found the "preferences" file which seems strategic, but I don't see anything in it that I should obviously change. The man page is not helpful, and there seems to be no help option in the software itself. When I do this: zinf file.mp3 I get this: The Download Manager cannot run as the primary ui The musicbrowser cannot run as the primary ui No UI plugin in '.:~/.zinf:/usr/lib/zinf' matched 'plugins/musicbrowser.ui' or 'plugins/musicbrowser.ui.ui.' Zinf will quit. I would appreciate some tips or references as to what to read to make this thing work. Are the Debian packages the wrong way to go? Should I get the sources and build it locally?
