-  you can select which one to use in the configuration
-  dialog.
-
-* Song-length support! Several methods supported:
-
-  - Maximum playtime setting. If set ON, song will be
-    played for given time. This can be used as a
-    fall-back method if a detection is selected, but
-    it fails.
-
-  1) No song-length detection. XMMS-SID plays the song
-     forever, OR if max-playtime is set, for that time.

-  2) Pseudo-heuristic silence detector.
-     Allows the user to define a "silent time limit"
-     with amplitude percentage. When the average output
-     volume has stayed on specified percentage for
-     specified time, next song is started.
+* HVSC song-length database support. XMMS-SID now supports
+  the XSIDPLAY's song-length database for tunes contained
+  in HVSC collection. Requires downloading of a small package
+  (few hundred kB's), that contains the database. Read
+  "README" for more info.

-  - Coloring in "comment"-field, if multiple entries
-    are present there.

   - Sub-song "name" or "title" is shown (if any) in the
     sub-song selector. If "name" is found for the song,
     it is shown, if not, then "title" is checked for
     and shown if found.

   can be used to have same format titles for those
   plugins that support it. XMMS-SID is now one of them.

 * New SIDAmp-style sub-song selector window. Does not
   require patching of XMMS, so this is easier to use.
   The patch is not used by XMMS-SID, but included for
   those who want the additional functionality it provides
   for other plugins.
