Great news! Aqualung is starting to look like a very good option for a music
player. 

A few gripes though: 
 a) I would like to have a notification area icon to show/hide aqualung
 b) There seems no easy way to import my existing collection of music.
    I can select individual files from one directory, but whole
    directories. My collection is divided into directories and 
    subdirectories. (artist/album/track.ogg)

Also, I found the metadata option a bit confusing: why doesn't aqualung use
metadata (id3's, etc.) provided by the audio files automatically? I had to
enable it explicitly.

 Just my 0.02€
