Just for information I don't see the additional links when using BMF to play a playlist either - I'm not sure if that's what you meant by treating them as 'volatile'. Fine by me. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to 405/2 amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers.
