Then there are all the people who could have submitted a patch but didn't...
so it seems that nobody cares enough to fix the bug. Maybe they're using
something else instead.

I always manage my audio files from the shell and I'll probably continue to do
so. A friend once searched hard for a good music organizing tool under Linux
but found nothing suitable. Suppose you have a collection of symphonies,
string quartets, piano sonatas etc. Each track is a separate file, but three
or four tracks, typically, constitute the entire work. Or consider an opera -
divided into acts, scenes etc., and you need to be able to select those. The
problem is that (as of a few years ago, at least, and according to someone who
searched) there's no tool that will recognize the appropriate hierarchical
levels in a music collection. That's a rather fundamental design flaw.
