Accessing playlists via path subs

You do not need the context menu as such.

Navigate down the left menu (movies, tv-shows etc) to music.  In the right window (that shows you recently played albums, recently added albums etc), go to the right on the categories at the top until you get to playlists. Click it.  If you have any playlists that Kodi can see they will be listed.  If not it will just say New playlist and New smart playlist.  Click on New playlist. You are now in the playlist editor.  Click on Library in the middle. You will get a list of Genres, artists, albums etc etc.  Just click on Artists for now.  You will see a list of artists.  Click on the first one. Now you will see a list of albums by that artist.  Click on the first one.  Now there is a list of tracks on that album.  The first one will be highlighted.  Open the context menu on it (press c on a keyboard or whatever button you have mapped on a remote for it). Now you will see three options (Information, Add to favourites and Add).  Click Add.  The track will appear in the right hand pane. Click on Save in the left pane and type in a name when prompted.

You have now created and saved a playlist with one song in it.  SSH or connect to your Odroid and navigate to .kodi/userdata/playlists/music and open the playlist in a text editor (probably nano but I have never used CoreElec so just guessing there).  Post whatever is in that file here.  All of it, not just a bit of it.

It will look similar (but not the same as) this.
xml:
