I'm a +10 on this. I can't eveb get mythmusic to play. Every once in a 
while, I touch something, and it plays, but I never know what I did 
which worked. I've got 1575 pieces of music which I can't play with myth...

And I hate playlists too...at least the way they are set up in *every* 
music playing program I have ever seen on a linux box.
