Re: Cannot add single tracks to playlist in 3.1b

A couple more options:
4) Add __Music to the start of virtual paths in the Music folder.  If 
virtualToAbsolute doesn't see either __playlists or __music at the start of 
a path, assume it is absolute.
         Pros: No interface change necessary
         Cons: increased length of virtual paths, would need to change 
pages.pm code to use the  new format.

5) Add __ABS to the start of absolute paths.  virtualToAbsolute would look 
for __ABS at the start of paths, and if present, it would be broken off and 
the remainder returned.
         Pros: No interface change necessary
         Cons: Kind of a wierd thing to do

In any event, something needs to be done, and I'm more than willing to make 
the change, but I'd like to get opinions as to the change to make.
