Soren and Daniel both,

Have either of you thought about turning the biases/constraints into items 
that can be used to dynamically generate a memory collection?  This would not 
only take advantage of the great work being done by the both of you, but would 
bring us up to parity with some Winamp functionality, where you can have 
entire views composed of tracks matching various criteria (except that our 
interface would be much, much better).

Just a suggestion/though.
