Ok, so I had some time to play with playlists and found the following cumbersome (although better than nothing).
When you create a playlist and save it, you give it name. When you go to edit it... it is complicated.
In order to edit an existing playlist:
1. You have to clear the "Now Playing..." Queue.
2. You have to go back to playlist and add the playlist to the queue.
3. You add more stuff to the queue and arrange.
4. You save the playlist... but it asks you for a name again because you are not editing an existing playlist... you are creating a new one. If you save it as the same name, it does not overwrite an existing playlist.
5. This makes it necessary to delete an existing playlist.
Here is what I am purposing: Design "Edit Playlist" to complete step 1, 2 and set a flag so that you don't get prompted for a name when you go to save it. This flag can get cleared when you "Clear Playlist" or "Edit Playlist".
What do you think?
