Re: #EXTINF data and Mac players

This is the format produced in the M3U file when I get
rid of all the if statements for http_user windows
have them start with $playlist...

#EXTINF:0,Waken - Zero One (Zero One)^M
http://localhost/netjuke/var/data/music/Zero%20One/Zero%20One/01%20Waken.mp3^M
#EXTINF:0,Trust - Zero One (Zero One)^M
http://localhost/netjuke/var/data/music/Zero%20One/Zero%20One/02%20Trust.mp3^M
#EXTINF:531,Mind Over Mind - Zero One (Zero One)^M
http://localhost/netjuke/var/data/music/Zero%20One/Zero%20One/03%20Mind%20Over%20Mind.mp
3^M

Seems to me to be the correct format, and as noted
earlier in this user-list, most Mac players seem to
not recognize the format. Certainly not the main two
for me, Audion 3 and iTunes, just get garbage in the
info windows. 

The RealOne Player does correctly display Song Title -
Artist. 

Quicktime player is really confused by this format,
but will play.

XMMS works just fine. Interesting that initially the
Playlist Editor shows the tracks of the
netjuke-spawned playlist as:

1. 01 Waken.mp3
2. 02 Trust.mp3
3. 03 Mind Over Mind.mp3
 
(These are the actual file names on my server)

But when played the track info changes to:

1. Zero One - Waken
2. Zero One - Trust
3. Zero One - Mind Over Mind

So now time to bug the developers of Audion about this :)
