Hm. Not good. (For this specific application, I'll be running it
myself, so I can check whether it works or not... I probably won't be
distributing it.)

OK. Fading out and then starting the next track (which will probably
be semi-faded-up in itself) is an acceptable solution for now, then.

Woo... Sounds good.

BTW: I must say I like the basic model of PyGame; everything seems so
straightforward. You just handle everything by yourself in an event
loop you write by yourself; and by blitting some surfaces here and
there, Bob's your uncle. Great fun :)

I really think PyGame would be a great foundation for a entry level
programming course...

Oh, well, I'll be getting back to some real work now <wink>
