Re[4]: Xmms Playlist Track Display

The problem might also be a playlist-bug in netjuke 1.0b17 which
causes all the #EXTINF lines to be printed at the top of the file.
Just 'save as' the M3U and have a look at its contents, it has to look
like this - maybe it doesn't:

#EXTINF time,track info
http://url.to/your/musicfile.mp3
#EXTINF time,another track info
http://url.to/your/anothermusicfile.mp3

To fix it, check out my bug-report:

Please reply if it works and even if it doesn't let us now if iTunes
ignores the extra #EXTINF lines.
