No need to apologize for wanting to write for the competition - that's what we 
set it up for! :-) If you have any other questions about the competition, 
please feel free to ask.

You make a fair point. If you look in the DocBook source, you'll find lots of 
comments to the effect of "TODO: make a screenshot". I'll add one to the 
"Playing Music" page, since I like your idea.

If you think of any other specific places that would benefit from screenshots, 
please suggest them - even better would be if you could also take the 
screenshots. I really don't like doing it, which is a large part of the 
reason that there are so few in the User Guide at the moment :-)

Philip
