Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm very grateful to everyone who has contributed - this software makes my computer more useful than it was, and I find more things which I can do every day. Anyway, about Amarok - I was intending to give it a go some time soon. I've been putting that off until I've finished putting my Athlon machine back together with a faster CPU, more RAM and all of my media files. This other machine is a P3 700, which I am using as a multi-purpose machine until then, so it can be a little heavily loaded. Also, she's used to Winamp in Windows - so XMMS seems a logical step for now... Thanks again, Michael Nelson
