Taking the opportunity of playlists being discussed, and quoting from the mailing list

So, opinions? Other complaints about playlists that could be worked in?

There are two adjustments I always thought that would be useful, specially for "playlist oriented" users:
1- When a playlist is saved, the WPS should be able to display the playlist name, i.e. the playlist name should be updated with the said name, and a WPS using the %pn tag should display the new name from that moment on.
2- When playback is started through a playlist (or according to 1-, the dynamic playlist is saved and therefore "has a name"), and the playlist gets modified(*), it would be great that the base playlist name could reflect this. This could be achieved by adding a "*" or a "(mod)" to the original playlist name in %pn, like "PlaylistName*"
Perhaps this suggestions could also be "slowly considered" ;)

(*) by modified I mean tracks added or deleted in any way, I would exclude the cases when the playlist is just reshuffled or when only the playback order is just changed in any way

It'd be really useful to reply to mailing list e-mails on the mailing list as well, most devs are there and not here. :)
