Wow, I wonder if there is some easy way to get the track-number tags correct. Every time I get a Tom 7 AAD I have to go in there and manually set them so that I can listen to it in order.

Yah, that would be nice. I always have iTunes create playlists for me on the fly by filtering based on unique album/artist name info and then allowing iTunes to assume that ordering should be based on the track number tag, which always works fine until I try some Tom 7 AADs. Well, sometimes you have done the song names starting, and that's the fallback sorting criteria so then that works, but otherwise I have to go in and add the track number ID3 tags...

Oh, I didn't realize that people use that track number thing. Maybe I will fix that in the future.

Anyway, each one of those has a m3u playlist, which you should be able to use in just about any player, right?

Regarding the m3u playlist, I guess not because it's not working for me in iTunes. It's weird, because iTunes is associated with .m3u files and presents itself to LaunchServices as an app that can handle m3u files, yet it does not seem to know how to do anything with them (aside from providing a file type icon and description)...

But anyway, track number tags would still be nicer because then I don't have to find and open the m3u file, I just do like I describe above. So if you will do that in the future, that will be nice. :)

Marc: m3u-playlists work for me in iTunes 2, Mac OS 9.1.
Maybe you selected 'do not use iTunes to open internet streams' or whatever the first time you started it?
There is a button in Preferences to Set iTunes as the default program for internet music playback.

Oh, and iTunes uses the tracknumber thing as well. I tried AAD4 which played fine, only all songs were sorted alphabetically.
