Hmmm, sorry, I did not even try before sending out my first mail. No,
removing the -literally did not help, I still get ^M appended in the
*Playlist* buffer, and the tracks cannot be played.

For the second problem, I am sure that there are some songs with
umlauts in their file names which are worth playing, so I still think
it should be fixed. But I have no idea on how to start to fix it
myself.

Since these two problems are so visible on a windows machine my guess
is that the developers of emms are not using windows. Is there
anything I can contribute as a windows user?

Thanks,
