Hi. I recently updated to version 1.183 and all KSS files [with timed playlists] will now only play for one loop with a brief fade. I created playlists for all the sets I have and timed therein for each track to play through completely twice then fade out for N seconds. I never actually set a loop count value because I never had to, it just worked that way (until the update that is). Anyway I read in the change log something about changes to generic format length handling and thought this may be the cause?
Besides reverting to 1.182 is there any change I can make in the settings or in my playlists to get these files to play the way they did before? Will it solve things to set a loop count value in the playlists? I tried changing the loop count in the settings but noticed this setting only affects VGM files and nothing else.
Sorry for the long post. I will include one of my playlists for reference. No loop count is specified but they always played as mentioned before. Thanks in advance for assisting.

FWIW if loop specification is what is needed, I think I'll stick to 1.182 until the guys working on Portable/Console Music History do KSS, assuming they do at some point. After spending a lot of time timing and tagging playlists (250 give or take), I can't even look at another one just yet haha.
EDIT: Oops, I was also meaning to ask if reading of playlist files for .nsf files was implemented in the latest update? Thanks again
