Jeff,
It turns out that there is a problem somewhere (haven't decided if its
iTunes or QTSS yet).. If you convert your ID3 tags in iTunes to anything
except ID3 v2.3, QTSS doesn't stream the original tag information
correctly.. v2.4 tags cause the filename to be displayed (like you
mentioned), and for earlier tag versions only the playlist title is
displayed.
For a quick fix I would recommend that you use iTunes to convert the
tags back to v2.3 and see if that solves the problem.
