	There is a bug in  playlist.title-fix.c::playlist_set_info() that always updates the playlist display with the filename, even when title data is specified in a playlist. If you merely disable it (as below), filesystem playback works, but streams don't update the titles when the song changes. That hack is insufficient, but preferable - next batter?

        PL_LOCK();
        if (playlist_position)
        {
                if(FALSE)
                {       // Update playlist item title with any actual data.
                        g_free(playlist_position->title);
                        playlist_position->title = g_strdup(title);
                }
                playlist_position->length = length;
        }
        PL_UNLOCK();
