I'll have to give your other questions some more thought, but this one
came to mind earlier today:

I'd like to be able to find all the playlists that include a particular
track, or one or more tracks from an album. Then, should I get a new
remaster, I can see which playlists will have to be changed.  (Yes,
there is a separate utility available to repair playlists, but that's
geared towards coping with changed locations or replaced tracks, and I
usually keep the old version around.)

By "playlist" I'm really thinking of static playlists - I wouldn't
expect to get a list of those DynamicPlaylists that *might* include the
track.

Notmad and Anapod (3rd-party Zen/iPod managers) had a playlist index
that was very useful for things like this (well, when it worked). In
iTunes, I can right-click on an individual track to get a list of
playlists that include it, which is a bit tedious to use when I replace
an entire album.

(And here's one of those "I'd forgotten SS could do this!" moments: I
was about to add: Fancier playlist combinations, for example, today I'd
queued-up a join of my Sun Lounger Rock and Prog playlists. When my wife
came home, she wanted me to remove all the Prog; luckily I didn't know
how :-) But just now, I've rediscovered that I can just go to
Home/Playlists and click the "x" on the Sun Lounger Prog entry...)
