Hi Daniel and Jason,

Thanks for the recommendations. I think that I will play with Ardour
some more instead though. What I like to do is loop through a section of
a song, if I'm trying to figure a part that's kind of buried, or if I'm
trying to play a few measures that need more work. That was very easy
to do in Audacity, so I'm sure that Ardour will do it.

Totem seems to work okay for playback (now that I know I can use plain
text playlist files) and I use MPlayer for things Totem won't play. I'm
really not crazy about MPlayer, playlists are just about non-existant.

I must say that VLC is my favorite audio/video playback program.
Unfortunately, Debian doesn't have a package with Jack enabled yet, and
the last time I tried to compile it myself, I made a mess:( Oh well...

Have a great weekend!
