I just can't wait to be able to, for example, encode the lyrics into the music so I can keep it in one place....or encode effects and such into the music.

While I can fake my way around in PHP, I'm no C programmer; I was merely a newbie in 1989. (!) There's a similar situation with Galeon & Firefox; Galeon, while it has every feature I've ever needed and a couple more, isn't as modular and (from what real programmers tell me) is hard to develop with, where Firefox represents a re-write using all Gnome-specific stuff (whatever that amounts to). The idea is that Firefox is more portable across platforms, so it makes a better strategic choice. Now, I'd love to live in a world where XMMS and Galeon are the only choices, but it looks like 'the herd' is headed elsewhere. I suppose I'll just get used to the idea.
