OK, I had hoped to get answers not questions but since you wrote so
quick and nice here are A FEW uses for playlists:

- exclude tracks
eg 1: I usually do not want to hear Obladi-Oblada from the White
Album
so I'd like to have a PL my_white_album

eg 2: Often I'd like to not hear the bonus tracks of a remastered CD;

so I want a PL to restore the original album

- group tracks

eg 1: I have many box sets which include both the tracks of the
original albums and alternate tracks etc.. So I want to create PLs that
play the original albums. Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Buffalo
Springfield box sets are just a few examples.  (recreating the originals
from a collection)

eg 2: I have all original Beatles albums in their respective folders
but I'd also like to have PLs for the Red and Blue albums. (recreating a
collection from the originals)

eg 3: I usually put one CD into one folder. Many musical works
consist of two or more CDs and I'd like to have a PL that plays all
tracks that, say make up the opera or the live concert in a row. (create
spanning sets)

- change sort orders in a flexible way, independent from file names and
track numbers (sort freely)

I could go on, but I hope that some of these examples make sense to
you.

If not, consider this: showing something but not playing it is a bug by
definition.

Any other player like winamp or whatnot will play (well-formed)
playlists, and so should this wonderful device.

I really want to know how to make playlists work; 
please do not tell me that my wishes are exotic and
please do not tell me how to work around any of the above examples!

thanks for listening

tom
