I've managed to get a copy 0.4 from the Fedora build service (slightly
ironic given that I thought the Suse build service was one of the great
things about Suse!) and it is quite useful in its own way, but a) I tried it
with a few songs and unless I was just really unlucky it only matched 8
extra songs from my 2500 tracks, and b) it was mainly the "queue of random
tracks" and "last few tracks just played" functionality that I liked from
the Party Shuffle.

Thanks for the info, though :)

Regards,

IBBoard
