Sounds like a mess, IMHO.  At best, that would simply spread the
contents of .mplayer across 3 different folders.  At worst, it could be
a severe, disordered mess of various files, with no information which
program each belongs to, potentially conflicting file and folder name,
etc.

Is there some reason for it, other than hiding the mess of dot files?
