_1. Installing_____________________________________________________________

Just run the program and it sets itself for default settings. For future
versions it can determine if older version was installed into your machine
and make the changes into registry if needed.

_2. The main screen________________________________________________________

Pretty self explaining. You can double click a drive from drive list to 
start mp3 scan quickly. There's also popup menu hidden behind right mouse 
click.

While scanning is in progess you can see some information in status bar 
where it normally shows copyright text.

_3. The settings___________________________________________________________

In settings page you can alter the way how mp3-list is created. There are 
two main configuration levels. Internal and ID3 Tag. Internal contains 
settings for common information of mp3 files like size and length.

ID3 Tag information settings are of commonly used additional information
of mp3. It contains artist name, song title, etc... Assuming that ID3 Tag
has been saved into mp3 file.

The following settings can be found at settings page (List format / Other):

Include mp3 file size
	With this setting file size is included into list	

Supress .mp3
	With this setting file name doesn't have .mp3 extension. Note, 	
        this setting is valid only if song artist or song title has not
	been selected from ID3 Tag information.

Include directory of mp3 file
	Show full location of mp3 file.

Calculate mp3 playing time
	Calculates playing time of mp3 file. If you have mp3 files
        encoded with different bitrate than 128Kb/s this setting
        doesn't calculate time for those mp3 files right.

Use internal mp3-list viewer
	Not implemented yet.

Use song artist instead of file name
	Show song artist information from ID3 Tag.

Use song title instead of file name

_4. Changes_____________________________________________________________

Version
1.30	first public release. Contains some minor bugs. Be sure you 
        don't start two	or more mp3 file scanning process by double clicking. 
        This program is	multitask aware, but there's a bug when it shows 
        created mp3-list. It shows for all scanning processes the first 
        mp3-list created, but it should create the real mp3-lists with right 
        file names.

1.31    Fixed a bug when starting mp3-list creator for the first time.
        There's a bug in ID3 Tag reader, it doesn't detect always if mp3 really
        has a ID3 Tag.


      Please send any bug reports to address virgin@sci.fi.
                         Thank You!
