I was actually quite pleased with the way update 40 handled playlists...

The reason is that I have iTunes organise my music files, and in doing this it names them with the track number and title, e.g. 04 A Case Of You.

I also use iTunes to create playlists, which I export to .m3u format using a program called iTunesExport. The resulting .m3u files contain #EXTINF lines containing "artist name - track name".

Prior to update 40 Minimserver displayed playlist tracks with only the track number and title, from the file name. Update 40 showed the artist too, which clearly made it a lot easier to identify songs! Now with update 41 I'm back to the previous situation..

Would it be possible to have Minimserver use the #EXTINF per the convention you mentioned, and display "artist name - track name" in playlists?

Regards,
Simon

Thanks for this input.

I would be interested to hear opinions from other users about which approach they prefer.

Definitely the current (old) approach, for the reasons you mentioned in your previous post when you decided to roll back the change.
