    Hi Folks,

    mod_musicindex does a great job of organizing your music library and managing playlists from a browser interface. I like it because I can use Apache's authentication to make sure I'm the only one accessing my library.

    Recently I acquried an iPad and I was sorry to see that when I click on the "Play All" or "Stream Playlist" buttons the iPad shows a crossed out play icon (it cannot play these files).

    Curiously if I save the playlist with my computer and put it in an Apache directory I can navigate to the M3U file and IT WILL play on the iPad.

    So there must be something the iPad doesn't like about the way mod_musicindex sends those playlists.

    I've dug into the source, changing the MIME types and passing the playlist with the appropriate .M3U extension but couldn't get it working.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks!
