I actually use the m3u files 3 different ways.
Some, like the video podcasts, I just use "mplayer -fs -playlist
/path/to/m3u".
For some of the audio playlists I use mpd to play at the PC.
Other audio playlists sync to my iPod with gtkpod.

Bug 25 has been submitted with some suggestions.
m3u files have their deficiencies though, what I really want is a real
"channel" that new stuff would be added to and old stuff would drop off of
once played. It has to be pausable and resumeable too. Being able to
"tune" the "channel" from other PCs would be nice too. Don't ask for much,
huh? :)
Any ideas would be welcome!
Thanks,
Ben
