This is similar to how gvim manages the bazillion syntax coloring
modes it supports:

	Syntax
	------
	ABCD ->
	EFGHIJ ->
	KLM ->
	NOPQ ->
	RS ->
	TU ->
	VWXYZ ->

The most sensible organization for gvim's syntactic modes is alphabetical,
although that may not be entirely appropriate for an MP3 browser.
