Playlists in iTunes, Music and TV use names which are not case sensitive and unfortunately can be duplicated. Playlists can be stored in playlist folders which can be nested.
Yate allows you to access playlists as if there was no folder structure (flat) or by using the containing folder names (qualified). Yate uses the : character to separate playlist names from folder names. The following conventions are used wherever playlist names can be specified:
Certain statements can optionally return qualified playlist names. Qualified playlist names always contain at least one :
Warning
The above qualification methodology is not foolproof. It can handle playlist names containing colons when they are not in folders but it does not handle the playlist names containing colons inside folders.
If you have a folder named Favs containing a playlist named Fav:1, the qualified name will be Fav:Fav:1 which will not be interpreted correctly.
It is better to avoid the use of colons entirely in playlist names. It's also preferred to avoid the use of duplicate playlist names, even if the application allows them.
