Also not sure if it's a correct way, but I'm using
emms-track-description-function var to do that, creating a customized
string for playlist tracks there (mostly derived from filesystem path).

I think it gives more flexibility than format values above,
and shouldn't depend on e.g. order of metadata values passed to those,
so maybe a better option, but at the cost of more custom code, I guess.
