Hi Steven,
This sounds promising!
So we will have a AutoDJ play list for the hottest tracks and a crate for
backup in case the play list runs out of tracks.
Some thoughts:
* We should ensure that the Auto DJ has always a n amount of tracks > 4 in
its play list when connected to a crate so the user can foresee what will
happen
* How will this interact

I think your rules are different from this rules but at least they are
rules;-)
The library layout is not setup by the skin file. Maybe it helps looking at
the call tree around
mixxx/src/library/rhythmbox/rhythmboxfeature.cpp
TreeItem* RhythmboxFeature::importPlaylists()
Kind regads,
Daniel
