after some initial transition pains, I've found that the current
MythMusic is not so bad. it's also not so great. It works. I've
figured out how to navigate it and get it to do what I want, play
music, create playlists, etc. However, it's ridiculously clumsy and
with large 1080p monitors a major waste of space as far as the
interface arrangement.

Do I like it? no, but I have found that it is usable. File this one
under the "different strokes", it sounded like for the person that
rewrote MythMusic, this design works great, and perhaps for some
others it will as well. The rest of us want to interact with our music
player differently and as you can see, people have gone many different
directions in what they've settled on.
