+Summary: Better music support
+
+hi there,
+
+this is a feature request for more sound support. i see how great
+gst-player is at playing movies, but i must confess that my delight was
+somewhat cut down when i tried to use gst-player as my default OGG player,
+as opposed to the aging and seemingly unmaintained (gtk+ 1.2) XMMS.
+
+what would really make my day is if gst-player had these features, close at
+hand and not hidden in some extra menu:
+
+ - a better playlist: the current one is hidden in an icon and is a
+   popup window, i like the xmms approach better which allows the
+   playlist to be integrated into the main area.
+ - add an entire directory of files (recursively) to the playlist
+ - play options such as shuffle (random play)/ save playlist
+ - better mp3/ogg id3 support. i.e. ability to edit artist,
+   track etc; from the playlist itself on right click
+ - put the track details in the visualisation area
+ - maybe some kind of skin support??
+
+really, xmms is the perfect GUI music player; it has everything there. the
+only problem being that i have to keep around all my old GTK+ libraries to
+have it running, which actually makes it quite bloated (8MB resident and
+not sharing those libs with anyone else...). also, GTK+2 is so much more
+beautiful. basically, id like to do a full upgrade to gnome2/gtk+2 but xmms
+ is still better IMHO for playing music.
