Using an XML config file would be extremely beneficial. It would make it possible to logically group things, like Dischi suggests. XML is easy to look at and understand so it is still text editable. Best of all XML would make it really easy to write a frontend. When you use XML, you don't have to worry about writing code to modify the file. You could also have freevo automatically insert new variables into local_config.xml with the default values and mark them as new.
