Hi,

Despite the fact that Maxime's tone is well past of being polite, I did have a 
look at the mentioned bug report, and it occurred to me that there might be an 
Amarok issue involved after all.

While  the general playlist functionality is working fine for me as well, I 
did a short test to see what happens if the files are not available to amarok 
anymore. And there I noticed a small difference in the error message I 
received compared to the one Maxime posted in 
http://wstaw.org/m/2015/03/15/plasma-desktopyk2315.png

In my error message, it said "When Amarok was last closed, this track was at 
file:///data/......, but Amarok cannot find...". 
In Maxime's error message, however, it says " this track was at , but Amarok 
cannot find..."

This indicates that - for whatever reason - Amarok did not manage to save a 
valid file location for this track when creating the playlist. The reason for 
this might lie in the setup of Maxime's machine (I could imagine strange 
characters in path names) but still could be valid for a fix after all.

This, of course, as I see it, would require Maxime's cooperation in both 
providing information and moving to a more polite tone in communication.

Just my 2 cents.
Andreas
