Gene,

I looked through all the menus, and I cannot find anything to manage my
MP3's. I may be missing something. I have over 5000 mp3's, and would
like some way to manage them. Sometimes I'm only in the mood for a
certain type of music. Winamp has a library window as well as a playlist
window. You can use the library windows to search your entire library on
different variables such as Song title, artist or genre. Then you can
drag and drop them into your play list and listen to them. You can save
the play list for future use. You can also use the library window to
burn to CD, but thats something I don't really need. 

Is this the same type of Library management you say that XMMS has? What
menu is it on? Because I can't seem to find it.


Thanks for you help,


-Mike
