honestly I think leaving filename specification were a good idea... 
forcing to maintain a policy for filenames isn't easier than maintain 
another for tags.
However, I like the Ogg-based Music Sharing very well, and i'm ready to 
work on it.
If someone like to start a little project, i will be interested in 
collaborations.
The only thing i don't like in MusicSharing systems is the lack of 
protection. Unfortunately digital music business isn't ready yet, and 
phisical supports are still expensive. Most people intend to use these 
systems as alternative for buying.
To have the original cd is something other. 13$ / 15€ isn't too much for 
the music you really like, and there's no reason for buying (or 
pirating) all songs you hear.
IMHO the music-sharing system worth lie in its evaluation service: I 
like the song I heard at the radio, but i won't buy the cd for it only. 
A music-sharing system permits me to evaluate its other tracks.
Otherwise, keeping only few songs on the disk, to listen to 
occasionally, isn't piracy.
This responsability leave in the hands of the poeple.
