Maybe we should consider altering the "about" text then. It seems silly
to hark on about how wonderful Emusic are, if their commitment to zinf
is zilch.

Which is the fundamental problem with "themed" interfaces like this. It
would be so much easier to ditch the download thing if it was a plain
gtk interface. 

Incidentally the watch MyMusic folder feature *is* useful without the
emusic stuff. I have gtk-gnutella set up to download to the MyMusic
folder. Although to be honest updates at 1hour+ intervals would be more
than sufficient.
