Yep - thats what I used to use for this but it looks like squeeze is

the last Debian to include GNOME 2.X / Nautilus as Deb Testing uses

GNOME 3 now. Apparently Konqueror had this feature in its later

revisions but its not present in Dolphin sadly.

Thanks for pointing samplecat out Robin! I'd never heard of it before

but I've just tried it and its pretty much exactly what I wanted for a

sample/audio browser - I say pretty much as its GTK and my disgust at

GNOME 3 has seen me migrating to Qt/KDE everything but I think I can

stomach the odd stray GTK app.
Whilst the hot tips and pro-Qt utterances are on the go may I

recommend qupzilla to anyone after a fast and light but feature-rich

(Qt) browser!
