The browser should display the cached information. If I add a youtube link, name it "Wow Gosh Darn", invoke emms-cache-save, restart Emacs, and add the same link again in a new Emacs session, then it will indeed show up in the playlist as "Wow Gosh Darn". The browser should reflect this. -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
