I gave both of these approaches a shot, but alas, no joy.  I did like
your GUI mod and playlist editor, but they both had issues in my case. 
I suspect it's a matter of scale as I'm dealing with lots of albums.

The problems I encountered in the LMSplaylistEditor were: 1) It wouldn't
add a large number of albums to a playlist at a time; and, 2) if added
fewer at a time, it wouldn't save the final playlist showing "error
saving playlist LP_Rips "error"".  Perhaps it's a resource limitation. 
I also noticed it was throwing in albums in the search results that
seemingly had nothing related to the search terms.  Finally, the search
term strings ignored spaces and case.  I use RM as an abbreviation for
remastered, so in foobar2000 I can search for the string " RM " with
high specificity.  But this editor would ignore the spaces and case
sensitivity to match album titles with "rm" anywhere in the string
pulling in many unwanted titles.

I had high hopes for the python script, but after I figured out the
syntax, it would only respond "Invalid playlist format (First line:
...".  That's irritating since the format is what I want it to fix.  I
played with BOM and encoding in the foobar playlist file to no avail.

Anywho, thanks for the suggestions.  I'll keep playing with the editor
to see if I can come up with something in time.  I'll also see if I can
find a plugin for foobar2000 for different export formats.  Perhaps that
will appease either LMS or the m3u_tool.
