Summary0002763: Winamp playlist doesn't update if Winamp settings are saved per user
DescriptionIf winamp is configured to save settings per user, then MediaMonkey/Winamp never seems to update the winamp.m3u file.

A possibly related problem reported by teknojnky is that:
MM keeps creating 'winamp.m3u' files in my root folders.
 
Here is a debug log, but I can't see where the file was created.
 
In it was created as "J:\winamp.m3u".
 
What drive it creates it on is dependent on how MM is started.
 
If MM is started directly by double clicking EXE file in the MM folder, then it creates the winamp.m3u file on the same drive.
 
If MM is started via shortcut with "Start In:" property populated with the MM folder, then it creates on that same drive.
 
If MM is started via shortcut with "Start In:" property NOT populated (meaning BLANK), then it creates winamp.m3u on "C:\" drive.
 
I don't know why MM is creating this winamp.m3u in the root folder, it should at a minimum be in the program folder, or in the my music\mediamonkey folder with the mediamonkey.m3u file.
 
This is not a new behavior, it's been around a long time.

Assigning to Peke to test and possibly also fix. As far as I remember, there's also another way of sending playlist to WinAmp, possibly using messages? It would fix this issue.

I replicated it, file is created in root couse there is no winamp in registry as installed otherwise it creates winamp.m3u in winamps folder. That should be disabled if internal player is used, I'll see if there is way to access IPC_PLAYLIST from external app as it looks that call is reserved for plugins, will check that with WA 5.32 SDK.

Fixed invalid path of 'winamp.m3u' when Winamp is not installed and Winamp is not default player.
