Fix the above omissions, and it's great, and deals effectively with files which do not parse well, something beyond the control of code. The fact this bug has existed for so long is a reminder to developers to always, always, always listen to users and not treat them dismissively. In summary, the decision to force this parsed, sorted playlist on users was a bad one due to the inherent problems with parsing. This download was scanned by our antivirus and was rated as safe. The following versions: 5.1, 5.0 and 4.5 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users. Pztagedit.exe is the default file name to indicate the PZ TagEditor installer. Currently "title", often parsed incorrectly, is not optional, and it also appears impossible to sort the playlist by the order-added.

This attitude is an example of what has long been one of the primary problems with software development, developers designing for themselves or other developers and not with end-users in mind. He proceeds as if file parsing is a critical required usecase for playback, and blames the files for not being constructed properly instead of his code for not dealing with a common contingency, when it could be solved simply by making the parsing optional, or at a minimum adding a filename field as a display option. Like many others, I'm disappointed at the attitude of the developer, who simply doesn't seem to "get it". I can also confirm the workaround for this poor design is to delete the. I also registered to chime in on this and back up those who have been suggesting for over a year this bug be fixed with an option to simply NOT parse the filenames.
