Description William Witt 2011-08-27 19:39:23 UTC 
In current git master, banshee URL encodes playlist names when saving them to mass storage devices (at least as .m3u).  Additionally, they are not decoded when detected by banshee, so the error cascades, creating completely unreadable names (example: Recently%252520Played).

Video of bug in action:
http://www.vimeo.com/28242141

Test Case:
1) Put an .is_audio_player file on a thumb drive with the following contents:
audio_folders=MUSIC/
output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/flac,audio/x-wav,audio/mpeg
playlist_formats=audio/x-mpegurl

2) Add music and create a playlist with spaces in the device
3) Disconnect device through banshee (so playlists are written to the device)
4) Reconnect device (remove and replace from usb port)
5) Repeat steps 3 & 4 several times and note how the playlists names change.

William, BTW, the video shows a second bug: the fact that the progress bar that appears to inform the user that a sync is happening, but it doesn't disappear when the sync finishes. Do you mind creating a new bug for that? Thanks
