Rather than an 'early' adopter, I prefer to think of myself as an 'absent-minded' adopter. That said, I've just switched to WinAmp3 and along the way solved a small problem with a short perl script. WinAmp (3 and before...) keeps its bookmarks in a text file called 'Winamp.bm'. Something like: 
\\HSM1000\MP3\Clancy Brothers.m3u
Clancy Brothers
\\HSM1000\MP3\David Massengill.m3u
David Massengill
\\HSM1000\MP3\Eileen McGann.m3u
Eileen McGann

Pretty clear, URL followed by name, line by line. Trouble is the list grows like topsy and it becomes hard to find what you are looking for in an unordered list. No problem! This: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
# SortBM.pl -- sort WinAmp Bookmark file.
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

my %list;
my $url = '';

while (<>) {
    chomp;
    if ($url) {
        $list{$_}=$url;
        $url = '';
    }
    else {
        $url = $_;
    }
}
if ($url) {
    $list{$_}=$url;
}
for (sort keys %list) {
    print "$list{$_}\n$_\n";
}

does the trick quite nicely. Note that I've annotated my soundcast URLs with 'R' so that they sort but do so seperately.
