    Then your objection must be with playlists in general because some
of the interfaces on Linux are not particular to Linux. There are plenty
of apps with less annoying playlist interfaces. Perhaps MythMusic should
integrate with some of them or just support m3u files.

    This kind of thing is easy enough to script if you just poke around
a bit. My current version of MythMusic syncs playlists with my desktop
player (rbox).
