"I also never have a few weeks of unbroken time to sit down and listen to 1000 MP3s, so I don't see the point of the huge playlist managers - use XMMS or Beep and get a life."
Ah, that's where you're misinformed. The advantage of a playlist/media library is that is finds, and parses all your music for you, abling you to quickly access it, and thus cutting the time used.
Whereas with XMMS and Beep, you have to open the open dialog, go to wherever you store your music, and if you have a lot of music, this can take a while to load, and takes a while to search through the folders, or even longer if you don't have them sorted into folders... then add them to the playlist... And if you don't even use a playlist, you're wasting even more time by repeatedly loading odd tracks in.
