Re: [Muine] Some thoughts on playlist management

Hi

I can't think of a better solution, but another suggestion is to use
"Miscellaneous" as the album tag for all these single songs.  This
doesn't help with the organisation at all, but when you're bored, you
can play the Miscellaneous album on shuffle for a surreal listening
experience :-)
