Is this really a bug?
I always found it was a feature, that I could play a queue and switch
back to the library, to see where cmus would continue playback once
the queue is empty.

I'd love to see this one, because I'm currently running a patched cmus
version to be able to display "compilation tracks" properly.
See
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20070901193154.GD15547@fs...&forum_name=cmus-devel>
for details (for people who want a temporary solution to this problem,
right now).

I'm interested in this one, too. Do you have thoughts on this one
beyond this list?

I'd love to watch you tackle this one. :-)
Personally, I'm probably not smart enough to be of much help here.
I never really understood how the core worked in detail.

You know what? I was on a train, listening to music via earphones,
which sounds crappy because of the poor quality of the builtin
sound device in my laptop. I thought: wouldn't it be nive to have an
equalizer in cmus to lift one or the other frequency band to improve
the way *this* sounds?
I've got no idea *how* this would be done. And really, this is like
the Christmas wish, you always knew was way too expensive for your
parents to afford. But if this gets done, cmus would make another step
towards being the perfect player for me. :)
