2nd Jul 16:15	b1fac21e4e: playlist: Fix wrong handling of playlists without UTF-8 BOM add_indices_to_playlist() wrongly assumes playlist->utf8 means the playlist has a UTF-8 BOM. It only means the file is UTF-8 encoded, and says nothing about the presence of a BOM. Trying to seek past a BOM when there is none mangles the first filename in the playlist. Avoid this by closing & reopening the playlist, which ensures the BOM (or lack of it) gets detected properly.	apps/playlist.c [diff]	Aidan MacDonald
2nd Jul 16:14	3b1e95d480: playlist: Simplify get_track_filename() Have get_track_filename() read track seek offset & insert type itself to avoid duplicating code. Most callers are not interested in that information, and only use it to call get_track_filename().	apps/playlist.c [diff]	Aidan MacDonald
