That way, Intone can correctly organise your music collection into albums. It automatically creates a default playlist containing all songs and individual playlists for each album. I have added features to manage playlists and albums - but there is always scope for improvement.

Ah, why don't you use the ecore_exe_pipe_run function for controlling
mplayer?
