I'll try to come up with a modified cMenuSetupPage tomorrow,
together with a detailed example.

You may want to fill in the README file ;-)

As stated in another message: wouldn't it be easier to give
cPlayList a cConfig member? Or is there a reason for this multiple
inheritance that I just don't see? I must admit that I didn't
look too deep into your code.

The idea behind prepending it with "vdr-" was that it isn't (in your
case) an MP3 player by itself, but rather an MP3 "plugin" for VDR.
So I think the suggested naming convention does make sense.
