Perhaps now we're getting into asthetics, but that form of album management
seems rather silly.  Directories and playlists[*] are much better tools for
that sort of thing.  I'd rather not mess with the ogg123 interface to support
a way of doing things that doesn't make much sense.

<p>[*] The observant student will note that ogg123 does not support playlists at
the moment.  It is left as an exercise to the reader to implement them using
the latest CVS code and submit it to the list.  :)
