All the music is on ext3.  I can't seem to get to any settings to
change the engine -- and when I start Amarok I do get a pop-up warning
saying HDA Intel doesn't work and it's changing to "default".

I just wrote a script that renamed any path that included an
underscore.  Amarok plays the music fine now.  (Maybe Amarok could
have done that, but I prefer to use Perl for things like that.)


Now I need to make some play lists.  Any good tricks for previewing
songs quickly and then appending to the list?  I probably need to
listen to a few seconds of most songs before I know if I want to add.
