Question: What do playlists mean to you?
    
- Never or very rarely use them
- Not a big problem: use static playlists for parties or similar,
  current features ok
- Use static playlists a lot, would like to see better features for
  managing them
- Want smart or dynamic playlists.  iTunes integration and/or plugins
  usable  (but could be better!).
- Smart or dynamic playlists are very important, current options not
  good enough, must be improved
- Critical: Playlist handling must be improved or I'm out of here
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mmmm, looked like it was going to warm up a bit there... the reason I
posted this was because of a "debate" in the "slimserver 7.0 features"
thread.  Some posters were insistent that slimserver without smart
playlists is a waste of space, others wondering what the fuss was about
because they're not that important.

Now we have over 50 answers we can see a pattern (granted the bias
inherent in asking registered users of this forum).  There are indeed
two distinct groups of users, roughly equal in number.

The "old school" ones who mainly listen to albums, or who at least are
satisfied with relatively simple playlist facilities.

And the "ipod generation" who want to be helped to find interesting new
ways of listening to music.

The main thing I wanted to achieve was to help both groups understand
that the other group exists, and shouldn't be dismissed as freaks. 
Hopefully we've done that.

Thanks to all who voted and commented.
