went ahead, it seems to play ok (I don't really care much for the
gaps or no gaps, I usually listen with random on, there's nothing like
toy dolls playing toccata in Dm followed by aram kchatchaturian's sabre
dance, actually over time I started to appreciate the tiny gaps between
the songs, however short they might be, you can see sanity trying to
sneak in... :-) but I can't seem to get anything useful out of the
metadata you mentioned, there is this window that opens where I can
manually add artist but that's about it. Is that part not finished?
BTW as I wrote I liked the freeamp (and its MyMusic window) but it
was fairly unstable, now it was replaced by Zinf but it's still
unstable, I just installed it and it crashed once, got stuck in waiting
for something once... so there's definitely a spot open for a media
player that has a decent song/playlist management functionality...

Not yet. It has its own system based on XML, independent of audio
files. It may allow importing mp3 tag data in the future. But the
system is not a one-for-one parallelism of what mp3 tags offer, so
it's not trivial.
In addition to all this, Aqualung comes with a
Music Store that is an
XML-based music database, capable of storing various metadata about
music on your computer (including, but not limited to, the names of
artists, and the titles of records and tracks). This is much more
efficient than the all-in-one Winamp/XMMS playlist.
does it allow to edit mp3 info (tags)? (something close to easytag in
nature, maybe not that comlex) I'm looking for some player with reasonable
playlist management (i.e.
not playlist based like xmms:-) something like what freeamp does (I like
freeamp interface but it was too unstable every time I tried to use it
for a longer period).
Go ahead and see if it's good for you :)
