Excellent.  After installing mp3info and mpg321 emms is providing joy. 
Does emms cache the file name to track info associations?  With 
thousands and thousands of tracks I'd rather that emms not recompute all 
this data each time I startup my emms Emacs instance. Also, how can I 
best discern the functions (and external programs) that emms wants/needs 
to support flac format.  Maybe I should read the info page and come back 
... good idea.
