Nice, thank you. It seems to have trouble with large playlists on Windows though. I've got just shy of 50000 in my MPD database and I get occasional crashes. Trying to click anything at all before the whole database has been read kills it for a start.

Good app though and ideal for my windows clients.

Hi seanyseansean,

thanks for your input! Would you mind writing a report to the author (mail to havtknut@tihlde.org)? I'm gonna send him the link to this thread, but additional info might be handy.
