I took the darcs version. How to determine emms version? There is no
emms-version function.

Does not work for me. I have a top level "music" folder and point
emms-browser at it using emms-add-directory-tree. Below it are
directories named after the artist, then below the albums then the song
files. I get this in the messages after emms-add-directory-tree :

Building playlist...done
emms-playlist-first: No first track

If I add (for example) music/beach boys/albumname/ then the songs are
added for that directory only.

Why is a call to add-directoy-tree even calling a play function in the
first place? The browser is not where files are played from - this is
the job of the play lists is it not?

(ps How about a menu item for emms? is it there?)

How to remove stuff from emms-browser? The "delete" option worries me -
the documentation isnt clear as to what it deletes - I just want to
empty the browser cache - not remove the files from the hard drive.
