Edit M3U Playlist Metadata like Title has not been saved

Hi, steps to reproduce the issue, VLC Version 3.0.21 Vetinari:

  1. Either click on top menu "View" and select "Playlist View Mode: Detailed List" or click on top right button until it shows "Detailed List"
  2. Enable the display of the columns: Title | Duration | Artist | URI | Album (Optional)
  3. Click on top menu "Media" and select "Open Network Stream" Ctrl+N
  4. Copy & Paste the network URL: http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3
  5. Instead of "Play" Alt+P select Enqueue Alt+E
  6. Title: RADIOPALOMA.mp3 and URI: RADIOPALOMA.mp3
  7. Right click in the line and select "Information" Ctrl+I
  8. Copy and paste the following: Title: Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager!
  9. Click on the new appeared button "Save Metadata"
  10. Click on the button "Close"
  11. Click on top menu "Media" and select "Save Playlist to file..." Ctrl+Y, example: "Radio Paloma.m3u" Result:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,RADIOPALOMA.mp3
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3

Expected behaviour: The title is saved to the m3u: a)

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager!
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3

b) Workaround, because in a) the text before minus "Radio Paloma" is recognised as "Artist", which is another story/bug

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, - Radio Paloma - 100% Deutscher Schlager!
#EXTVLCOPT:network-caching=1000
http://pool.radiopaloma.de/RADIOPALOMA.mp3

Current behaviour: The Title has not been saved. If you open the Playlist again, the Title is still "RADIOPALOMA.mp3".
