I have a playlist named LISTEN & RATE.

It's displaying as:

Can you point me to the place where you are seeing that? Menus?

Here's where it is:

Nevermind, found the problem. & chars must be doubled to work as intended. Try it by yourself renaming your playlist with double &, and it should appear once on the menu.

Instead of editing Playlist Tools, I have edited the Menu Framework to replace by default all '&' with double &&. So it will work by default with arbitrary user input and I will not have to care anymore about it when writing new code. (in fact I didn't used that char on purpose on menus before).

By the way, the problem on my side is (was) & not showing at all. In your case & makes next char to be underscored, which is a behavior of text drawing but not menus. Check if my proposed workaround works (just test it and revert the change later), if it does, next release will fix it for you. Otherwise that would be a bug at other place (or SMP).

Doubling them up only resulted in the playlist name in fb having 2 ampersands which is to be expected but it did work to display correctly in your menus which means it can be fixed :)

Great. Thanks. Will be fixed on next release then, will take some days since I'm fully working on integration with the online controller (foo http_control) and some major changes for SMP main menus configuration which should allow foobar to be a direct replacement of other music servers too.

Btw, and not related in any way to that... is it comfortable to work with so many loaded playlists at the same time? Find in/Remove from/Send To/Go to playlist commands and too many playlists usability
