With the Soup views eliminating any need for album/artist playlists, would it possible to add fields to the *1 files and have a Soup view/playlist for that? In my case, I'm looking particularly at record labels (Warp, Matador, Ninja Tune, etc.), but if implemented it could be any field. Any metadata from the *1 could/should be indexed. This basically leaves the only purpose for playlists in implementing mixed sources of music together (moods?).

We can already populate any fields via emptool (don't think we can in emplode), but the player doesn't use them.

I imagine of course this is too late for any 2.0 release.
