Thanks. I didn't realize that about the virtual path created by LMS. But
if LMS can display the real path, surely a right-click event, should
such a thing be possible, could be set up to capture it? The whole
problem is that there's no right-click and I'd have to select the path.
I think that's a deal breaker for most people.

It's just too bad that LMS isn't designed to provide file handling and
tagging, though I realize that's never been what it's intended to do. An
opening to the possibility would be welcome, though.

I plan to look into CopyQ when I get time.
