 102                         <p>Herrie is a minimalistic music player that uses the command
 103                         line. It is written to support a variety of operating systems,
 104                         audio subsystems and file formats, including playlists.</p>
 105
 106                         <p>Herrie has a split-screen user interface, with a playlist at
 107                         the top of the screen and a file browser at the bottom. When
 108                         tracks are added to the playlist, Herrie consumes them from the
 109                         top one by one. It is thus an application that allows you to
 110                         batch music for playback.</p>
 111
 112                         <p>Herrie also has some more exotic features, including support
 113                         for <a href="http://www.last.fm/group/Herrie">AudioScrobbler</a>
 114                         and the ability to <tt>chroot()</tt> itself into a
 115                         directory.</p>
 116
 117                         <p>On the November 29, 2007, Herrie was awarded a 3rd price at
