Actually we can only speculate why Explorer fails to read out the meta info.

The one difference between the "old" version and the "new" version is that now Unicode tags are handled properly, i.e. they are written with the proper UTF-8 encoding, instead of local 8-Bit.

If the Windows Explorer (or whatever Shell Extension is responsible for reading the meta info) doesn't handle such tags, there's nothing I could do.

With MediaInfo and Winamp you can prove that the tags are there. I certainly won't revert to the old unsafe/unreliable method, just because Explorer is stupid once again.

(About putting the playlist file into the "My Music" folder: I think this would be kind of arbitrary. Also we'd have to use absolute paths in the playlist file then, which is "suboptimal" at least!)
