On review, I think you're right.  I was being overly cautious.  Here's 
a patch that puts it right in the opening screenfull, where it 
certainly won't be missed.

http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html -- or is there some other, more

In any case, just to start, here's a patch for EMMS's manual.

BTW, (I know this should likely be mentioned elsewhere, but...) GNUMP3d 
should probably be noted as being "mothballed" per it's developer's
