I wouldn't worry about it Noel, someone's having a bad keyboard day :D

For mp3/.ogg amaroK rules.

Sensible playlists, cover image manager, transparent handling of tags and 
directories, smart playlists, who needs video? I just want audio in the 
background whilst I code. I need it to pick out my favourite tracks without 
sifting through pages of menus, and just play them for hours and hours while 
I concentrate on more important things.

I don't need one utility that binds all audio/video together. I'm happy with 
one for .ogg and one for DVD. The other formats, I simply don't use.

Had a play with MadMan?  I never really got into it until my bro-in-law started 
playing with it.  He likes it because (apparently) it's quite like iTunes... 
whatever that is?!  I quite like it because of it's search facility.  Don't really 
much use for it's "builtin playlists" (things like "Top 20 Most Played").  Also got 
a nice web "front end" that allows streaming of files... now if I could only get 
that VPN to work :p

Grant.
