The option to save favorite streams in music folder was removed.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The (very convenient) option to save favorite stream in music folder was 
removed in 1.5. 
I would like to share favorites between several installations of cantata,
without this option it seems impossible.
Is there a reason for removal?

Favourites are stored on the server. This allows them to be shared between 
users, and clients (for example MPDroid now supports this). So, what you want 
is already there.

Also, you can import/export favourites as well.

Favourites are saved in an MPD playlist named '[Radio Stations]' Do you have 
MPD's playlist path setup correctly?

although i have the path setup correctly, playlists are not being saved.
probably a folder access/ownership issue, i'll take it from here.
thanks.

after assuring that playlist are being saved with mpc client from the same 
machine,
it seems that there is some kind of problem with cantata after all.
is there a log file i could get some more info from?

Update your MPD then, 0.17 is quite old.
