Hm. Ok, i swap a two menu.

If you write cddb handling, i implement to gui.

Ok. This is not problem. But ... you send one message to gui, and handle
user/passwd.

for example:

 You send => guiGetEven( guiGetUser,NULL );
 And i call gui_http_authentication( user,passwd )
   ( gui_http_authentication(char*user,char*passwd), realy need this two
     size_t ? )

But ... first on my TODO the playlist-lite and preferences. Ok? I get a
money from one hungarian linux distributor for this.

Thx.
