Hmm...

I moved aside the old zinf directory, unzipped the archive,
set the registry for the browser ui and launched zinf.

It would not 'Search computer for music'. The dialogs came up alright
but, nothing happened when 'Start Search >' was pressed.

No browse button for selecting directory for 'Other...' option.

zinf crashed when 'Import Music into My Music' was selected from
'File' menu, and directory with music was selected.

Did not save the player screen location.

Did not save the playlist screen location.

Playlist SIZE was saved.

Well... it looks like it WAS importing music... after the crash
there were a number of directories in 'My Music'. BUT, there
needs to be feedback in the 'Status' pane at the bottom of the
window indicating that something is happening.

Metadata reading/parsing needs some work: a classical album,
Brindisi Quartet, 'Mozart: Chamber Works', displayed a single
rectangle (missing char symbol, perhaps?) as the Artist name,
and Album name, song titles were missing completely. However,
they do appear in the Main Playlist pane, though 'Time' is
0:00.

When an album is clicked on in the music pane, the times for
each song in the upper right pane is '33487546:54'. (What is
that upper right pane? Seems redundant.)

Time update, while playing is jerky, i.e. it's not updating
EXACTLY 1 second apart, sometimes there are pauses on a time
then several seconds will update really quickly (>1/sec).

Default playlist was not saved over quit/restart.

No drag and drop from music pane to main playlist pane.

Double click added album from music pane to main playlist,
rather than opening album.

Still has GTK default icon, rather than zinf icon.

Tom.
