I've recently switched LMS from my old Mac mini to a Raspberry Pi 3B+.
None of my playlists work, because the paths are different between the
Mac and the Rpi.  I'm quite happy working my way through the playlist
files to do a global find and replace.  But I'm wondering if I can
future-proof this a little bit by making the paths relative rather than
absolute.

If I have a disk mounted as /mnt/Audio, and on that disk I have a folder
called 'Music' and a folder called 'Playlists', then can any playlists
in the Playlists folder refer to music files in the Music folder as
file:../Music ?  I can't seem to make this work, but referring to
file:///mnt/Audio/Music works fine.  What do those three slashes in
front of 'mnt' do, and how many of them should I have before
'../Music'?

Supplementary question - if it IS possible to get LMS to *understand*
relative paths somehow, is it also possible to make LMS *write* relative
paths when it creates or modifies playlists?  If not, there wouldn't
really be much point in moving my old playlists to relative paths
because new playlists would always be absolute, and I'd get in a right
mess.
