Erland, take a bow.  What you've created is nothing short of excellent! 
Thanks again.

Seems the scanning routines complete successfully now and playlist
generation via the NAS is operational.  I'm not sure whether all
listbox selections are making it to the saved file but I need to do a
little testing of this tonight before I can be sure.

*_Some_other_comments/questions:_*
Selecting SQL Playlist/Create a new playlist/Random for mixed tags
takes very long to load (~ 30-60 secs) and causes more disk activity
than I'd guess would be required.  Is there anything I can do to speed
up this process?

Saving a playlist search criteria to file seems to take much longer
than I'd expect it to, so much so that the NAS stops serving audio
until the save operation is completed.  Any ideas as to why would it be
so CPU intensive?

Could the playlist parameters template be modified as follows:
- Genre, Style, Mood & Theme listboxes appear first, in that order,
followed by Album Rating.
- Would it be possible to present the Include and Exclude listboxes
dealing with the same topic eg Genre side by side rather than
underneath one another?
- Listbox the Album Rating 1 through 5 (inversed in .5 increments).
Selecting a number creates a >= rating criterion.  Can probably do away
with the Exclude criteria for Album Rating.

I'm happy to have a go at this myself if it is a matter of editing a
template file?  Probably a good opportunity to learn :)
