m3u relative paths with backslashes cannot be read

[chickendude]

When a playlist is saved with backslashes instead of forward slashes, amarok cannot find the songs.

For example entries in the playlist like:
../All American Rejects/Move Along.mp3
work fine

but
..\All American Rejects\Move Along.mp3
does not work.

This is inconsistent with the behavior of other similar music players. It is also a big problem because Windows Media Player defaults to backslashes (its a windows thing). Even movie player is able to read such playlists.

Ideal Behavior:
Both Forward and Backslashes should be able to be read.

Workaround:
Manually change all the backslashes to forward slashes or run
sed 's:\\:/:g' playlist.m3u | tee playlist.m3u
where playlist.m3u is the filename of the playlist

This bug no longer exists in Amarok 2.3.2
