One issue around getting started is that there are really two ways to interact with emms.
1. Behave like most other music-players (rhythmbox, clementine, banshee...): start with a lengthy scan of a music directory tree to populate a database (rhythmbox and friends) or cache (emms). Then build and play playlists from the browser. 2. Dive straight in: emms-play-file/directory/playlist etc. This way, which provides instant gratification, seems under-documented/advertised at least according to this Emacs SX question: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/72852/how-to-load-previously-saved-emms-playlists This is utterly a documentation issue but probably the first step is to decide which interaction style is to be preferred, if any! ---Fran On Sat, 6 Aug 2022 at 19:51, Yoni Rabkin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello all, > > Emms is not easy enough to use out of the box.
