Hi Tommy,
I also use PEAK for re-mastering & adding metadata.
Unfortunately I use the program differently in that I'm not typically using
playlists as opposed to individual soundfiles, so I can't really help you.
That said, I've always found BIAS's tech support to be very good, so I'd
encourage you to contact them - I think you'll find either the solution to
your problem or they'll be able to point you in the right direction,
Dave
