Let's be clear Eric, no-one is saying it should be replaced, simply that 
we don't like the "everything is a playlist" concept and that we 
preferred the old method of having a directory tree that you could 
simply browse around and if you clicked play at the top level it played 
all your music, if you clicked at an artist it played everything by that 
artist, if you clicked at an album it played the album and if you 
clicked on a song it played a song.

I also used playlists in the old MythTV, but only used them for stuff 
like "all the kids' pop songs" or "the wife's dinner party music" type 
of thing.

So as an alternative to complaining about MythMusic in 0.25, we (or at 
least me and a few others) would like an alternative.

I personally find the new interface cumbersome and my wife and kids 
couldn't understand it at all, quote from my 11 year old "why change it 
so you have to press more buttons".

Anyway, as I said, I don't want to rag on the new version; plenty of 
people like it, I would simply like an alternative to keep the peace at 
home.

And remember; one man's insanity is another's genius!
