Directories aren't the only things that are browsed; in this case a cache is browsed. Reading the whole info file for emms isn't necessary; the "Basic commands" page should get you started listening to music. That page contains plenty of "emms-play-..." commands. But it wouldn't be a bad idea (in my opinion) if when emms tries to browse an empty cache a short help screen popped up; something like Welcome to EMMS. The emms cache, which contains the songs that emms can browse, is currently empty. To populate it, you may wish to use one of the following commands: M-x emms-add-directory-tree: Add all music files contained in a directory or its subdirectories. M-x emms-add-directory: Add all music files contained in a directory. M-x emms-add-file: Add a single music file. etc." Jay
