This was one of my first thoughts but its a little messy for people who are
not
particularly computer literate - I was looking for more of an
"intergrated solution",
something with an easy-to-follow gui based front end that will allow easy
selection of
play lists depending on time of day/day of week, I guess I may be looking
at writing a
winamp plug-in (there's a first time for everything! 8-)...

Thanks for the thought anyway!
