Is that part not finished? BTW as I wrote I liked the freeamp (and its MyMusic window) but it was fairly unstable, now it was replaced by Zinf but it's still unstable, I just installed it and it crashed once, got stuck in waiting for something once... so there's definitely a spot open for a media player that has a decent song/playlist management functionality... erik
