Yes -- just make sure that the URL field is correct and you can have it point to
pretty much any part of the filesystem.

The code that is currently in CVS has support for an Admin mode where the admin can
rename tracks/albums/artists and even move albums/tracks around. You can update from
CVS to see these features. In ObsDefs.pm you will need to set OBS_ADMIN to 1 to enable
the admin mode. Before the next release I will find some better way to enter/leave the
admin mode.

Just that I haven't gotten around to doing anything else. If you feel like hacking up
the SubmitTrack perl scripts please do -- I would love to get some patches. I'll make
sure the patches get applied post-haste.
I will do my best to get a release out before the end of the year...
