[TriLUG] Music Files (and a small rant)

[Dean Price]

Although I am no authority but why not organize, burn to Data DVD, then 
use a program like Amarok to create a database of all the DVD's,

Reading the capabilities of Amarok, it looks like you can DB your songs 
and if you want to play a particular song it will prompt you to insert 
specific DVD

I would imagine that you would need to assign a non-generic title to 
said DVD

Just my two cents.

Thank You,
Dean Price
