That's what I have found.  I also found I had to rewrite the 'play' 
scripts.  15.04 has changed some of its behaviour since the version I 
was using last year (I think it was 14.04).  I was also running a 
different laptop.  At that time, I could use the command ' 
[path-to-file]/music123 * and then call the shell script with a music 
filename as the argument.  Example: music123 -z -D 
/home/barry/Music/Retromania/*  I could use [shell 
script]/[path-to-file]/filename The behaviour has changed so the above 
starts to play all the music files in the directory.  I've had to write 
a tiny shell script for each music file, and call that script from the 
hotkey press.  With 10 to do, and hardly any time, I was getting VERY 
frustrated.  Still, in hindsight I know I should have started a day or 
so before.

Thanks again for your patience.
