I don't want to see that at all.
On my 700MHz machine, any task that takes cpu cycles away from LW causes transfers to crawl. LW uses enough cpu already.
Just because LW can transfer various filetypes does it mean it needs to work with them too?
I already think the mp3 player's useless. Most everyone already has one, & at least I always have mine playing in the background when I'm on the computer. When I preview an audio file, It's usually to see if it's been converted from say, 64 to 320, or from mp3 to flac anyway. If I play a track with LW, I'll wind up hearing both tracks at once & then I can't hear quality value.
Would you want LW's installer to get fat enough to include a text editor? A photo editor? An avi converter? No way.
