myPod installation under linux assumes each user will
have their own copy of myPod (the data directory is not
per-user). 'Proper' Unix installation would allow the
application to be installed in a shared location, with user
preferences, playlists, etc. in the user's home directory
(typically in a new directory like ".myPod")

    Hi,

    well this is a typical problem where platform independance
    is more than the avility to execute code...
    ... I agree with you, it has never been a good idea to mix
    up application and data directories since my AMIGA OS epoche...

    ... on the other hand, its not so easy to split it up, when
    using myPod on multiple platforms. you'll need to take care
    for bots paths (app + doc) ...

    ... anyway I'll consider a split up for one of the next
    releases.

    Thanks!

    Axel!
