Description

I have a bunch of playlist tabs with the title 'New Playlist'. They started their lives as empty playlists and I dropped a folder into each of them. The title of the playlist should be updated based on any tag that is constant across the songs being added. In my case today, this would be the album name. I think it would be a smart addition to the player.

So when tracks are dropped into an empty playlist tab view, after identifiying tags which are consistent you will probably end up with either:
No results -> Leave the tab text as is
Multiple results -> for example, Album and Artist are consistent across all tracks. Use a weighted system to prefer Album first, then Artist, etc
Single Result -> Use that result

Tags like Bitrate etc should be excluded and a whitelist of tags such as Artist and Album should only be accepted

The title of the playlist will be updated to the name of the folder in any recent version. I think this is the most sensible approach, with consideration toward keeping the implementation simple.
