In that order. Always. Never used a playlist although I've 
generated them.

I'd rather import my own collection, even if by some means of 
transforming my collection into a suitable import format. That way I 
don't have any fluff taking up space that I don't/won't ever have.

Ahh, that's one of mine... :-)) Unless there are other "Thy 
Majestie" fans on the list !

An interesting one that one. AP Live is a mistake as an artist 
IMHO. Otherwise it's only the "The" that's a problem as APP did
become just AP after a while, wasn't that when his partner went 
off to do other things, was it Eric Woolfson and his Freudiana 
project? My memory is terribly vague on this point.

But that's not really the point, consistent naming is a nightmare as 
everybody does it differently, perhaps to include track numbers in 
the title of the track to sort their Rio ordering problems.

That's another reason why custom importing of data would be of 
interest to me. If my collection isn't in a consistent format I want to
know about it so I can fix it.
