I'm thinking about sending this off to the folks at nullsoft/aol.
I thought instead of having the online stuff in the regular library why not
when you click on the online media tab in the library, why not have it  to
where a web browser window pops up and gives you the choices for shoutcast
radio, aol radio with xm, winamp vidios or winamp music.
You know like a link to each category.
That way we all can get some use out of the brand new library.
Does anyone think this is a good idea?
Jerry
