the other important point here is that PMC is intended to be a "simplified" but also unified mechanism to get at your media. it's not meant to be an amarok or a kaffeine which indeed offer all sorts of different ways to visualize and browse media. as a result, they are not casual, full screen experienes. this does not make them "bad", it makes them what they are (which is: "pretty damn good" :) PMC, by offering a simple, full screen environment should offer the same casual mechanism to browse all media types. it's something you flick open / turn on and start using. it's not a desktop UI, it's a media UI. what this means is that while i don't browse music in amarok the same way i browse video in kaffeine, i will browse both the same way in PMC. -- Aaron J.
