rules for Budget Edition now corrected.

tracks have lyrics files. See upgrade.doc to upgrade from a previous
version to v5.00
When performing a search by track name or time, or if the cd is a
various artist cd, artist name, the first track fitting the search
criteria will be highlighted when the cd is displayed. You may then jump
to the next match by pressing F2, or to the previous match by pressing
F3. This feature allows you to display the next or previous cd without
returning to the browse screen.
Tracks with lyrics files will now be indicated by an X (or a *)
appearing in the right margin.

linked to them.
Note the new limitation for the Budget Edition, i.e. 75 cds.
