anyone use juk?

Saw this app mentioned in a thread earlier and thought I'd try it out. It's nice the way it docks in the system tray (is it called that in linux?) and quick access to existing playlists is very nice. But is there a way to use it "normally". By this I mean, I open it up, look at my list of songs and go "I'd like to listen to this, this this, followed by that, then that there", add them all to a playlist and listen to them, without necessarily saving the playlist as a .m3u?
I've been trying in vain to get this behaviour from xmms, tried making a hacky enqueue option (which worked once, but KDE forgets all my file associations, menu entry changes and "open with" types whenever I reboot, so it's not practical), but so far can't get this nice, simple way of playing and queuing files to work.

So is juk the answer? And how?

Most likely you need to be root to save the file associations, menu entries and 'open with'. Try saving as root first and then see if they are still there when you logon as the user.

Ah, never thought of that. I assumed file associations were user-dependent (only ever had one user active at a time). Will let you know after next reboot.
