Sure, I wasn't talking about directories and stuff concerning playing music.
There should be compile time option for this. But loadable modules for code
which is not used in normal usage, would be useful. You could argue of course,
that you want to read text, play games etc. while listening to music.

If implemented clever, you could use mostly the same code to boot a different
firmware version as to start a game or even start a helper application with a
file as parameter (text, image viewer etc.)
