Yes, I realized that after skimming through the doc. But I obviously
missed the implications in terms of configuration.
On the other hand, even though it is clearly not meant to be just
another mplayer frontend - heck, it's over 130 Megs of disk :-) .. it
turns out to be that as well, and an excellent one at that.

Apparently, Elizabeth suspected that my problem was that my directories
were scattered all over the file system.. and they are not, I have a
marked tendency to over-organize..
A simplified view of my setup runs like so:
../multimedia
│
├── video
│ │
│ ├── video1
│ │
│ ├── video2
│ │
│ └── ...
│
├── audio
│ │
│ ├── audio1
│ │
│ └── ...
│
└── photos
│
├── photos1
│
└── ...
And I'm very inflexible about this, not because of freevo or other, but
because otherwise, I would never be able to remember where my stuff is.
:-)
Surprise, surprise, it fits in so perfectly with the way freevo is
organized that I did not have to move a single one of my files..!!
In fact, Elizabeth thought I was smarter than I really am: my problem
was so basic that's it embarrassing: I just couldn't figure out how to
tell freevo where to look for my stuff.
:-/
I blame repeated exposure to the gui model for this regrettable lapse.
