On review, I think you're right.  I was being overly cautious.  Here's 
a patch that puts it right in the opening screenfull, where it 
certainly won't be missed.

[emacs_insertcopying.patch (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

Certainly.  By "the other manuals" I assume you mean those listed on: 
http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html -- or is there some other, more 
accessible list?

In any case, just to start, here's a patch for EMMS's manual.

[emms_insertcopying.patch (application/octet-stream, attachment)]

BTW, (I know this should likely be mentioned elsewhere, but...) GNUMP3d 
should probably be noted as being "mothballed" per it's developer's 
comment here: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnump3d/index.html

Glad to help,
