Description

When using the `play` plugin, the generated m3u file is currently a list of the file paths.

Via [Extended M3U](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3U#Extended_M3U), it could allow the user to configure a custom title for every item using a format string. Media players supporting this will profit from a more configurable playlist.

Low priority.

Research direction

Start by locating the play plugin and reading how it currently generates m3u entries and exposes configuration. Define how a per-item title format should be configured, then verify that generated playlists use Extended M3U titles while preserving the existing file paths and behavior.
