I'm NOT disagreeing that browsing MP3 through a telly is a BETTER
experience than using a small screen. I AM disagreeing that small
screens are a problem.

After all, what you actually said was that browing MP3s without a TV
was, in your words "pretty painful".

My point is that I don't find it painful at all.

Furthermore, I find that using a web browser (and I do have lots of
those) to control music is an even better experience than using a
remote control pointed at a telly.
