Hi Dag,

A few feature requests (and if granted I'm willing to write those).
- I'd like to have a key (or maybe an external command) to invoke a trace
dump. This would be very useful when debugging pytone.
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean exactly with this. Should this key trigger an exception in the main thread. Probably, this won't be too useful as the problem might be with anoth thread.
I still have this problem where pytone does not want to play songs anymore, I can queue but it does not play. Restarting pytone does not help unless I enable -d (or disable when it was enabled when I have this issue).
Have you tried the latest SVN version - I think I found the race condition at least for the problem where PyTone won't play anything right after startup.
- I would like Home and End to work in the Queue and Browser windows.
With 1325 albums and don't know how many artists it's a hell to go to the beginning.
This should work already (and alternatively, you should be able to use CTRL-A and CTRL-E). Maybe there is some other problem.
- In the default view, I can see how many Songs and Albums I have, but
the Browser window's title only shows how many songs I have (again), not how many artists. (Even though that's the current view)

Maybe that's less important, still... Maybe that belongs in an (other?) statistical message box ?
Hmm, this is for purely historical reasons, but in principle one could live even without this information. I don't know.
- If you press '=' on a song, the Path information is always too long in
my case. If you have a typical /music/path/Artist/Albums/Song, it's longer than 80 characters. I would like to have the following information divided:
Path: /music/path/Artist/Album Filename: Song.ext File type: mp3 192kbps VBR
I'm often interested in what format I have something but the extension is seldom visible. The extra bitrate information would be useful as well.
Ok, sounds reasonable, added to the TODO list.
