Hmm, I don't use playlists nowadays but I tried it (with the 'dir'
backend) on some media directories from back when I used XMMS and
Zeya doesn't understand some playlists. It detects them fine and
shows the select button, but changing the playlist has no effect on
the displayed tracks. They were apparently generated by running
`ls *.mp3 >playlist.m3u' and reordering tracks in a text editor.

It works fine with #EXTM3U-formatted playlists, though.

Also, when there are no playlists the new navigation bar looks weird
with just the search box... or maybe I'll just have to get used to
it. :)

Is that a hard requirement? Wouldn't it better to just wipe the old
database and reindex? Distribution users which use a packaged Zeya
won't necessarily be aware of this, even with tools like
apt-listchanges, etc...

Thanks!
