using rhythmbox generated playlists

Hi all,

I'm trying to use some playlists (.pls) that are generated by Rhythmbox, using
emms-add-pls-playlist. The songs are indeed added to the list, but then emms
refuses to play them.

Rhythmbox puts them in the .pls file like this:

  File10=file:///home/djcb/Music/nightingale/white_darkness/08.White%20Darkness.mp3
  Title10=White Darkness

And can make it to work if I remove the "file://"-prefix and decode the URL
(i.e.. %20 => ' '). I guess it shouldn't be too hard to make emms do this
automatically, but I'd like to ask where in the source code I could best make
the change -- any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk.

Probably somewhere in emms/lisp/emms-source-playlist.el

We'd be happy for a patch once you work it out.

Thanks. I made it work by updating emms-source-playlist-parse-pls:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun emms-source-playlist-parse-pls ()
  "Parse the pls playlist in the current buffer."
  (mapcar (lambda (file)
            (if (string-match "\\`http://\\|\\`mms://" file)
	      (emms-track 'url file)
