So do I - I go back to 6.2.1 after running into some issue with the
betas. I do understand everything we're being told about beta code etc
- on the other hand, I can't recall those caveats being highlighted on
the "buy now!" page... :-)

With 6.2.1, what works is to create playlists in SS itself. They
disappear here and there, for some reason, but all in all they seem to
make it OK if you abide by the following cardinal rule:

Keep the "My Playlist" folder where SS likes it, and make that the
default. In my case, it's at the same folder hierarchy as the artists
are. I never created the folder, by the way, SS did. 

So if you create playlists within SS and have that "My Playlist" folder
as your default, things should work for plalists you save off the SS
menu onn the "right" in your browser. It is constricting, and at times
you have to rescan, but I'll live with the predictable limitation
rather than embracing unpredictability. I am still married, after all.
:-)

*Forget* about creating playlists with Windows Media Player 10, it will
not work. From looking at the M3Us in text format it seems WMP and SS
use different formats. I assume they should be compatible, but aren't.
The SS doesn't seem to like to use line breaks, but on the other hand
is more accurate with the file path (it spells out "G:\Music\Artist",
while WMP like to store "..\Music\Artist\"), but editing will not
overcome the issue.

I'll go for a different programm to create playlists and overall manage
the music collection, but I haven't put my research in yet to decide
what to go for.
