For soup playlists, RMML (and I think the new jEmplode, but maybe it wasn't in that build) automatically rolls up tags to the playlist level (so an Album soup gets the Artist on it) ... I could make it do that for regular playlists too. It only gets a little funky when you change the tags later ...

Re: playlist order -- also could do that without too much pain. Are these soups or did you make these "by hand"? I've been working on making the soup sorting configurable ... It's still in the works, though.
