Well actually  "Save playlist to Playlist Files on Disk" always used
XSPF, if it didn't work anymore that was the regression. I however
doubt that it was broken since your changes to
PlaylistFileProvider::save( Meta::TrackList ) would not fix that.

Only with export playlist can the user decide which filetype is being
used. This is where the type detection in PlaylistFileSupport comes
in.

Have you tested if changes to saved XSPF playlists (let's say adding a
track) are really written to disk? I think they are only cached ATM.
