Reading, yes. One clearly wants SbS to be able to read playlists
created by other software. I had not really thought that in the other
direction would be necessary. When I save a named playlist with SbS it
is simply so that I can use it again later from within SbS. I guess, if
this really is a problem then it will have to be resolved.

Not specifically. It may be that this work helps the situation with
MusicIP. But, because of the problem that a filesytem may have
pathnames that are in a different character-set encoding to that of the
system locale, any system (such as MusicIP, that passes pathnames in
some specific character-set encoding, rather than just native bytes,
will not always be able to handle such files properly.
