[mb-users] playlists

What if, once I've named my files using the "%artist% - %album%" format I
would like to listen to an album as the artist originally prepared it? What
I was looking for is a way to conveniently and consistently name a largely
song-based music collection while still having access to album orderings.

I was also trying to see if there was some sort of philosophical issue with
playlists. Picard seems structured toward capturing album order in the
filename and I was wondering if there was a reason for that decision.
