Hello Maurice.

Now I have hit escape more than a few times, and I only got it to work as 
described once ... :-((

I have also found out how to take the thing apart ... <VBG> but I haven't yet 
... , and may well leave well alone, as I have found a FireFox plaugin that 
does what I need done ... <grin>

Well someone, somewhere has to tell the server what to play, and as the server 
may or may not be far away ... , a client program, to conect to it and compile 
a playlist which the server will then most dutifully play ... , the big thing 
is being able to see what is available and "TAG" it, and the tagged files are 
then saved to a playlist ...

Piece of cake, when you have 700 CD's worth of music say 10 tracks a CD, say 
7000 tracks, I think you will still be compiling your playlist, and the time 
available to listen will be long gone ... , besides most CD's have more than 
10 tracks ...

Hmmm, that is usefull, have you ever played with something called "sshfs" 
<VVBG>, now that I find very useful ....

Will look at the interim release as soon as time becomes available here ...

PS. all going according to plan, I'll have my M-Audio 192 sound card 
Wednesday/Thursday .... <VVBHG>
