    • Hi, I fully agree with you. Except on one point: they now do liveupdate (my PlayList is, say, Composer=Mozart and Playcount=0). But the behavior is still incorrect. If you have a playlist made of ,...

    kind of like when Coca-Cola tried to stop the Diet Coke and Mentos viral videos - until thankfully someone in branding got a hold of their paranoid legal dept and slapped some sense into them.
