 # MyPlayer - A Web-MP3-Player with Playlist Support
 
-About:
+<div style="border-radius: .25 em; border: 1px solid #caba8a; background-color: #f8e8ba;">
+*Note:* MyPlayer is currently undergoing a major rewrite, where it being
+updated to the latest version of mediaelement.js. This effort includes porting
+the playlist feature to the playlist provided by mediaelement-plugins.
+
+This iteraton of MyPlayer, as present in this GIT repository, has known issues,
+especially when changing tracks in the playlist, and not all configuration
+demos/source types have been extensively tested (i currently focus on the "m3u"
+scenario).
+
+Since i am doing this in my free time, i can not give you a roadmap or timeline
+on when the rewrite will be done and the software fully tested. Until then, the
+previous version of MyPlayer is available at
+<https://tk-sls.de/ref/myplayer.dist.tar.gz>.
+</div>
+
+## About
 
 This project provides a JavaScript constructor MyPlayer({...options...}) that can be used
 to embed lists of audio files as read from an index document or an M3U into a web document.
