Nice work on the new-(ish) update.
The playlist and download functions are on the money.
I use Vista & WinAMP 5.35.
WinAMP crashes if I try to send a playlist from the Media Library to my player, but it's all good if I create the playlist in the player itself, so I have no issues with the plugin.
Thanks a lot, Otiasj. Your hard work does not go unappreciated.

Bug Report:
Winamp crashed several times during different transfer operations. Eventually I ended up with a database on my player that had seriously mistagged music. Songs in the wrong album, gibberish in the genre field, misnamed tracks, etc. The music still played, but it was a mess to sort it all out when I got back home.
Possible Cause:
I can trace it back to one thing in particular. Illegal characters in Windows (eg. * or ?). If the tracks have illegal characters in their ID3 tags, when uploaded or downloaded they cause Winamp/ML_Sony to crash. This crashing happened so many times that I'm pretty sure it's what corrupted my database.
Ideas:
My suggestion would be to run a regular expression against each tracks ID3 tag before a transfer is made and replace or eliminate any illegal characters.
How do you "run a regular expression against each tracks ID3 tag"?
Vista and Winamp crashes, runtimes required?

To get WinAMP to run at all with ml_sony, you'll need to run the programme as an adminstrator - right click, etc.
If that doesn't work, then I'm lost.
