Summary
The Sonata activity combines a musicpd (mpd) daemon and the Sonata pygtk frontend in one bundle. To the user the activity appears to be a basic mp3/ogg/flac player.
This app is more of a personal hack than anything else. It does not lend itself well to the use-cases or design of the other XO activities.
Goals
Create a simple mp3 player that can play media saved on flash or SD card. Also useful as an mpd client to an outside mpd server (ie, great for parties to pass around the XO and have users control the stereo).
