Hi Hank,
In the version of iTunes I have (version 7), the term is Playlist.
iTunes 'folders behave like email or operating system folders.
Playlists can only be in 1 folder.
I agree that the term Collections is unfamiliar in the context of
software. I don't think we need to go as far as doing a user test to
come to agreement on that point ;) (On the other hand, collection is
a common English term and it is the best expression of how we intend
users to use the feature.)
Your point is taken and we will take it into consideration as we
continue to think about how to refine the interface.
Heikki, the reason we don't have overlays in the table is because as
usual, it involves a significant chunk of work to get right.

Philip,
Thanks for your comments. I'll take two out of three!
As for your views on tag or category, and needing something more
concrete I can agree with that. As I said in my next post, iTunes uses
the word folders and it works *exactly* the way (at least as I
understand them) collections do. iTunes is a pretty popular app and so
you would gain enormously by leveraging that nomenclature.
