Hi Dev's & Pro's,
 
I just posted a message, but now realise that it is attached to a thread of 
over a year ago so probably will stay invisible for most/all of you.
Forgive me, but I'll launch the question here again:
 
What I'm still puzzled about is what the mpd server should do/does when it 
finds a playlist in the music directory (in a readable format like m3u)? 
1) Should it walk through the the playlist and add the individual 'songs' to 
the database?
2) Also if the 'song' is a stream? However, with a stream, there is no such 
thing as 'tags' for artist, album, .... (in best case a name tag in extm3u)

The reason I ask is I want to find a nice way to add streams for easy use by 
the user: ideally, the 'power user' puts a m3u playlist file containing the 
radiostations he want somewhere in the music directory which will be scanned by 
the mpd server. Then user gets acces to them over any client (either through 
the mpd playlist or through the 'song db'). So after any update of 
db/firmware/... the radiostreams are always easy to use by the clients.

Thanks,
Christof
