I just took a very quick look at the web site out of curiosity. Issue 3 is 
similar to the problem I had with my music player. I solved it by using 
rsync:-

I have used the procedure once since then, but I ended up with a corrupted 
file in the list and had to delete everything and start again. So I don't 
know for sure if a further rsync operation correctly adds new files to the 
player. But the most important part is, that the tracks from "Dark Side of 
the Moon", "The Final Cut" etc play in the correct order. If the rsync 
solution works for you too, let us know.
