Feature Request: Explorer View

Hey Developers,

I absolutely love Foobar's featureset, and especially the working gapless playback.  However, there's one thing preventing it from being my player of choice. 

I use 1by1 (http://www.mpesch3.de/) for its explorer-tree functionality.  If you're not familiar with the program, I suggest taking a look (it's only about 50k, setup should take about 1 second). 

If this directory tree playback could be implemented in foobar, I'd never look back.  Any chance in seeing that happen? 

Before you tell me to look to existing components, let me assure you that to date, all the latest versions of foo_playlist, foo_playlist_tree, foo_tunes, and foo_columns_ui are unsatisfactory in their implementation of this functionality.  The only one that comes close is foo_tunes, which is defunct and buggy.  All the others require you to set up a database.  I'd much rather just be able to navigate to a directory and have it start playing the files in that directory, one after another.  I know there are other users who feel the same way.  What do you think?
