Just some feedback on using shortcuts (.LNK's) for MP3 files.

Now I should start by saying I don't use MP for playing MP3's at all (I use MediaMonkey instead

), but I tested it just incase someone wanted to use this plugin with MP3's...

Here's the what I found...

1. The music plays, when I click on a .LNK... great!
2. When you click on .LNK's it goes to a blank fullscreen... running MP3's stays on the MP skin environment.

3. MP3's listed showed embedded Album Art for the icon... .LNK's show a Video Camera default icon.

So I should stress I took about 1-2 minutes to set this up and test it, so I may not have a clue and may have misconfigured something... and am not really sure how MP3's should 'normally' look... but it looks like there could be some improvements... if anyone really wants to use .LNK's with MP3's.

Thanks a lot again for the plugin!
