Song names in playlists.

[HP Deskjet]

I apologize for asking this question, I realize that it has probably already been answered. When I go to browse my playlist it doesn't show the name of the song, it displays the weird name (UYTM) instead. How do I make it show the name of the song?

You'll have to use some method other than iTunes to sync your music. iTunes renames all the song files, and the playlists are based on the filenames not the tag data.

Or use the Database (see my sig )

And how does that solve the problem in the playlist viewer?

[bascule]

My bad, I wasn't paying attention...

[Llorean]

Yeah, Database is great for playback, but unfortunately playlists need to know where files are actually located in the filetree, and of course the playlist viewer shows you the actual contents of the playlist.

I've talked to Slasheri about using the Database for displaying the playlist entries before (I wanted to see the duration of the files) and he thought is was probably not too difficult to implement.

Okay, cool. Thanks for all your help.

Some work has already been done on this.

I dream of this as a configurable feature.
