Smarter playlist (.m3u) handling in iTunes

I dropped a folder of mp3s that also included an associated .m3u playlist onto iTunes 9. Lo and behold iTunes didn’t double up the tracks! Yay, finally! Previously I’d always needed to remove any playlists before adding to the Library.

As a tiny experiment, I dropped just the .m3u file and iTunes added the tracks fine. Seems iTunes now knows to ignore them when appropriate. About time, really.
