Playlists are now saved with windows AND unix line endings (and no more ‘x’s)

you were in when you chose to save them.
Message to say ‘create new playlist with A button’ if no lists are found.

If a picture cannot be found for a song/album/artist but there is only one picture in
the current DIR it will assume that picture is the artwork and show it.
