ehhe, we've started, so let's continue givin' ideas!

-) modify tags, based on name file (like ex-falso) and viceversa
-) massive download of cover pictures
-) re-arrange folders based on artists' and albums' tags (like Itunes?)

ok.. ok... I'll stop spamming on this 3d. ;)

"The paradigm of competition is a race: by
rewarding the winner, we encourage everyone
to run faster. When capitalism really works
this way, it does a good job; but its defenders
are wrong in assuming it always works this way.
If the runners forget why the reward is offered
and become intent on winning, no matter how, they
may find other strategies--such as, attacking
other runners. If the runners get into a fist
fight, they will all finish late."
