I noticed that my "Items with option flags" search didn't show the right number of tracks, and when I went to investigate, I discovered that lots of my playlists had "options = 0x0".

Firstly, and most seriously, the correct format for these values is AFAIK 2 hexits without the leading 0x, i.e. 00 in this case.

Secondly, I think jEmplode incorrectly reads the options value from the player, meaning that many of my playlists have lost their options completely. For instance, I marked my top-level Books playlist using Emptool as "Ignore as child" so that a shuffled down-down-down wouldn't include random chapters of books.

Thirdly, even options that I set using jEmplode seem to have reverted to 0x0 - not necessarily jEmplode's fault though, as I use Emptool for uploading tunes.

I know that Mike is re-working some of the internals of jEmplode, but not sure whether he's aware of this issue. I hope it can be fixed during the rework.
