+Choose an audio file selector
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+paraslash has three different audio file selectors: random (default),
+plm (the playlist manager) and mysql.
 
-	1. Use the mysql dbtool which comes with paraslash and requires
-	mysql.
+	The random selector chooses files randomly from the given
+	directory.
 
-	2. If you can not use the mysql dbtool and you just want
-	to quickly make paraslash working, use the random dbtool.
-	The directory which is searched for audio files can be given
-	via the server option --random_dbtool_dir.
+	The playlist selector allows to send a playlist to para_server
+	via the lpl (load playlist) command. para_server will choose
+	files from the loaded playlist in sequential order.
 
-	Note, however, that this database tool is really dopey. It
-	scans the given directory on every audio file change and
-	chooses one randomly. There is no further functionality.
+	The mysql selector stores information about your audio
+	files in a mysql database. It is much more involved than
+	the other two selectors and lets you chose files in many
+	interesting ways. If you like to use the mysql selector,
+	read README.mysql and follow the instructions given there.
+	Return to this document when ready.
