Another vote for MusicIP to be included in Vortexbox. Also, if you don't already have a live CD I think it would be good to make one available. I think you'd interest a lot more people to try it who aren't quite ready to nuke their existing Windows or Linux installations. Even better than a live

It's actually not all that bad. However, the SC configuration has to be changed. When using the MusicIP integration, you need to add the music to MusicIP. SC will then automatically pick it up. It's nice because it avoids having to do a full clear and rescan of the SC database everytime you
