Thank you. So far I am liking what I see.

Yes, you're right I am using Outlook since I've signed up to this list on a
virtual machine that is configured for taking on the road for my work. I
haven't yet taken a look at Evolution and others e-mail clients, but I fear
that I'll be stuck on Outlook for a little while longer, until I convince
myself to make a permanent switch. Hopefully this is a little better in
terms of what is expected on the list. I edited a couple of settings to try
to improve things.

I'm sure I'll take a while to look anything but amateur.

Agreed; it's not trivial if that's what you are trying to do. Right now
listening to music is not high on my agenda; it just jumped out at me as
something that should probably work off the bat, especially when there seems
to be no other samba related issues. I may end up just logging the issue
when I am confident I understand the process and am not just wasting other
people's time.
Cheers,
Wayne.
