Summary0002336: Review Album and Artist Playlist creation on Synchronization
DescriptionI think we create Album and Artist Playlist by default for WMDM devices. This should be reviewed and possibly modified so that this isn't default (or is default just for some WMDM devices, depending on supported formats?).

Also review creation of M3U on WMDM devices, is it automatic?
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build943

Fixed in build 943.
 - Album and Artist playlists were by default automatically created on all WMDM devices, even though it doesn't make sense on most (those containing a DB). This is fixed now.

Tested in 943 with iFP880, and although playlists are not created when configured as such, they are not created even when the user configures them to be!

e.g. Synch Artist=ABC with 'Copy .m3u playlists' enabled --> playlists aren't created.

I'm not sure if this was the intended behavior or not.

Note: ideally we'd just use the same dialog as we already have for playlist creation for CD burning (where the user can configure whether .m3u files should be created for Playlists, Artists, etc.).

This is a little different. The point of this fix was, that if you check Artist or Album in the synch tree, the default value for .m3u creation should be 'False', for standard Playlist creation it should be 'True'. It's ok now. I.e., if you want to create a playlist for an Artist, you can select Advanced checkbox and then set .m3u playlist field to 'Yes'.

As for the change to use something like in CD burning, I agree, but I'd like to defer it for 2.6 because we'll probably like to make some minor string changes.

Closing, based on discussion with Jiri. Seems most users really care about .m3us for Playlist files.
