+Frequently Asked Questions about emms. Please read this before
+submitting a bug report.
+
+Q: I seem unable to play files with accents in them. Why?
+A: Emacs doesn't know the coding system of your files, and it
+ apparently decodes them the wrong way. Set
+ `default-file-name-coding-system' to the correct encoding of your
+ file names. It might even work to set it to 'undecided and let
+ Emacs guess.
+
+Q: Emms skips some songs in the playlist for no apparent reason. When
+ I select them manually, everything works. Why?
+A: Increase `emms-player-delay' until it works.
+ The problem is that emms is told by Emacs that a player finished,
+ so it starts a new one. But in reality, the player has not yet
+ freed the audio device, so the next player gets an error when
+ trying to play.
+ Thes best way to fix this by using ALSA or other sound systems which
+ allow concurrent access.
