iTunes like features ?

[Julio Capote]

If you have a reasonably fast machine, this shouldnt be a problem; the 
5.x branch can preempt that much thus far. Hence, youll never hear my 
music stop (1.6ghz athlon-xp, 512ram), even under the most extreme 
conditions (compiling, multiple programs opened on several workspaces), 
only time I hear it skip, is when im extracting a large bz2 archive, but 
I believe thats mostly due to the synchronous nature of the file 
system...just my 2 cents.
