Re: Xmms Playlist Track Display

I'm not an expert on netjuke or m3u, but.....

Couldn't netjuke pass back ID3 tag information inside of the m3u
playlist? It seems like the m3u format accounts for this type of issue
already with the #EXTINF tag. All netjuke would have to do it put the
ID3 info(which it probably already has) with the m3u list it is sending.
A quick glance at the m3u file netjuke sends has no #EXT info
listed.

I'm probably missing something obvious....

Regards,

Kevin.
