What's new for 2.0b

The buttons along the bottom row of tk3play are now all gif images. It should be possible to make some nicer buttons. Albert Lai showed me how to do this and has made some nice buttons.

The new version now uses a messaging system to communicate commands and information back and forth between the tk3play GUI and mpg123. This makes it possible to do more, some of which is listed below:
