Obvious stuff like : Here is my music, how do I get emms to see it and allow me to make a playlist? The documentation is lousy. Sorry :( It really is semi-impenetrable. If you dont believe me, put someone in front of it and ask them to make emms work! It took me half a day to realise that the reason that it didnt work at all was down to its default player list! Even though I had mplayer, it fell over when the first one in the list wasnt available. Who would have a default player list of 5 players? Better to have none and document to add the one that the user uses. emms-browser : how does one use it? I open it and look at an empty buffer! > >> I would love to know how those screen shots of album covers happened - >> it is almost impenetrable to me.

I assumed it would look for them, like every other music player out there, based on album name! As you know, I love emacs, but it could/should be easier to play a tune :-; > `---- > > Bye, > Tassilo --
