Sound Juicer's default output should be the folder named Music in your

The folder hierarchy in Edit-->Preferences needs to make sense too.

Michael,
I looked at DSL-N for a bit, and that looks like it might not be the
answer for a future SlimCD "live CD" either. I wonder if just using
Ubuntu to make a new live CD with SqueezeCenter might be the answer to
this problem.
