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

So either you listen to albums or you shuffle your whole collection?
You never shuffle by genre or by artist? 

If you do shuffle by genre or by artist, I think you are doing
something that is functionally identical to smart playlists. It may not
be called a smart or dynamic playlist, but it does the same thing: the
computer gives you a list of the tracks, based on the criteria you
specified (genre, artist...) So, in a sense, you're using smart
playlists without even nowing it. 

I think people focus to much on the particular implementations and not
on what these things actually do, on their function.
