Make playlists use the database info of a song instead of its file name

I think I'm going to load chunks of the desired metadata on the fly with the index to speed up file seeking within the cue sheet file
its still several steps but hopefully less time consuming than the hoops that IpodVT goes thru

Regardless of speed I'm glad this is being worked on. Thank you for your efforts!
Also, I found a small bug with the other patch: unless I play a song and then go back, the file name still shows when you're looking at it through a playlist viewer in the WPS. I assume this will be fixed when the cue sheet feature is finished but it may be something to consider.

Am I correct in thinking the latest dev version has reimplemented this feature? It seems to be back (though I've gotten confused which version of rockbox I saw it on - it appeared and then was removed again, but now it's back?)
Am I right in thinking it now gets the information directly from the ID3 tags on-the-fly rather than the database? Was the plan not to use cuesheets and extended playlist formats? Was it decided to do it this way instead?
Anyway, it doesn't seem to cause a significant slowdown in accessing playlists.
[edit] if it's now a permanent feature I guess the manual probably needs another update?

Glad to see this got fully added.
Ironically it was added just after I switched off iTunes again (for unrelated reasons)
Not sure how it works, but if it's less laggy than it's probably some other optimization that they found
