16 thanks Andrew. I tried this version but so far it's not cooperating.
17 Probably it's mostly me but I now understand I have one more
18 requirement that the Gnome version handles but I don't see an option
19 in the KDE version. Most of the tracks were ripped over the last
20 couple of years using KDE which prepends a track number on the file
21 name
22
23 01_Track1Name.flac
24 02_Track2Name.flac
25
26 I'd like to remove the track numbers but I don't see a way to do this
27 yet. The Gnome version has that feature but crashes when given more
28 than a single album.

30 too bad....
