0.4 released.
Description changed,

[RussianNeuroMancer (russianneuromancer)]

0.4.1 released, link to source code corrected.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

It will be uploaded directly in Debian shortly, we just need to sync when it's ready.

[starws (frstnmlastname6)]

DeaDBeeF can be found in debian-multimedia.org repository (Unstable/Sid and Testing/Wheezy sections).

[賴家亨 (laichiaheng)]

0.7.0 is out!

[賴家亨 (laichiaheng)]

0.7.1 is out!!!

[Teodoro (teodorolinux-deactivatedaccount)]

It's at version 0.7.2 already, but it hasn't been added to the stable repositories yet. Please consider adding it to Ubuntu directly, since Debian isn't likely to do it after so long.

Well its been six years since Debian was supposed to have this "shortly".

I dont think its going to happen.

Which is a real shame since this is the only sane music player I have seen on Linux.
