PMario, thank you for all the links. I have to carefully ready through the examples to understand what's going on there. So you're saying, I should go ahead and create the five audio tiddlers (that point to an external file) and then just display them in a list in another tiddler. This can work. I guess my concern is that I will end up having a bunch of these tiddlers that contain nothing but a single piece of media (be it audio, photo or a video) with no organization... which of course, is simple to fix with tags. just seems like there's a lot of work to do there. Hmmmm.
