Thats because Noatun uses plugins. From which information should the Winamp-skin-plugin know which playlist you are using and what GUI to create for it. Note: You can use other playlists. I am currently using hayes, which shows the file like your filesystem. It even recognises new files in the dirs (which xmms doesn't). > i can't right-click to get file info, so if the song sucks, i can't even > find it on my hard drive to delete it manually etc. etc. so what makes > this thing so great? 'cause i just don't see it. This is not an issue with the right playlist-plugin.

Because sometime kde decided to use aRts. Because its still a great system.

But aRts is the reason for this lag. Normally (if you do not reconfigure your artsd) it has about 200ms delay, so the music won't stop while you are opening three homepages and compiling your next kernel...
