But at least on my system (Slackware 8.0) and with RC3, it
didn't work when there were too many files, like one hundred.
So, I'm quite happy there's a playlist support in Vorbis 1.0.
Besides, it's a standard feature in player programs, even on
Unix.

Btw, this is in such areas that you see that proprietary
Unix systems still have an edge. IIRC, the shell on AIX had
no problem dealing with a 28000 arguments command-line in
an appropriate amount of time, while bash on Linux went to
its knees and took an order of magnitude more time to do the
work.
