Hi,

This is very cool, but would it be worth considering making the .dirname.mp3
have a different extension to .mp3?

at the moment I use a dir/s to build playlists etc, and its far easier (at
least under windows) to just include all .mp3 files than to have to exclude
the .dirname.mp3

Maybe if talkbox searched for .dirname.mp3 and also .dirname.tbox (or
something) then everyone would be happy?

thanks
g
