I've just [re] read Tony's excellent FAQ entry on Soup mode in the Emplode software.

Now Tony says that Soup was a term used by the Empeg software guys to describe the dynamically built views of your playlists using the ID3 tag info.
[And if anyone would know, Tony would I guess].

So, was "soup" ever a acronym for something [you know a "TLA" or "Three Letter Acronym"] ? If so, what was the original meaning of Soup?

And, can we come up with something to make SOUP a valid acronym that accurately describes what Soup mode actually is?

I have a suggestion:

SOUP = "Simple Overview for Unorganised People" (or .. Unorganised Playlists)

But better ones are welcomed.
