The editor I use for editing M3U's is SPFLite because of its command
line capabilities and I can't find a setting to shut off the BOM string
for UTF8 encoded files. From reading up on BOM strings on UTF8 files BOM
is allowed, but not required for UTF8, and can confuse programs that
weren't expecting the BOM on UTF8 files, apparently LMS did not expect
or handle the BOM prefix on the first record in my playlist even though
the Unicode standard allows for BOM in UTF8 files.

I use SPFlite because it has command line capabilities to do things like
find all lines that start with # (pound sign) with a single command,
delete those lines with another single command and mass changing text so
that I can change the explicit file locations M3U's to relative file
locations also with a single command.

Now that I know about this I can just insert a comment line as the first
line and things should be fine.
