(Virtual) folders and views are the same thing, just different names. Both are just filters (e.g. display the music by "this and that" artist; the songs with less than 60 bpm; messages address to this newsgroup or written by this person). The purpose and usage is different than that of a hierarchical list of bookmarks. Playlists are something that you set up for a session. With bookmarks you usually look for a specific item to use immediately. I'm curious, I'll dig in the epiphany archives... Thanks -- Marcelo
