Sampo,
   Hi. There are scripts that scan directories and build music stores
for Aqualung written by Peter. I posted a couple of them on LAU
yesterday. Look there if you think they might be of interest.

Tom,
   Maybe you and Peter should post these on the Aqualung download
site? Maybe they are there already?

Cheers all,
Mark
