Just to clarify what Hugo has said: The term playlist is used to mean two things within the player - we'll have to try to think of a different name for one of them.

Stored playlists are created by emplode and it is not possible to change these from the player.

The current playlist is a simple list of tracks that should be played, in the order that they will be played. This is built by flattening and applying options on the player, usually when you select a playlist from the playlists menu.

It is the current playlist that is altered when you select "next track by same artist" - the stored playlists remain unaltered.

Hmm, maybe running order would be a better name for current playlist. Then again...
