...playlist is now subdivided into ABC, DEF etc.,

I agree, this is the best way (for me, at least) to do this -- a "steep" tree tructure, rather than a flatter one that requires lots of scrolling.

My tree is even steeper than yours. Before I get into "Artists A-C", I have to select genre ("Audio Books", "Car Talk", "Classical", "Comedy", etc.), the sub-genre ("Composers", "Concerto", "Symphony", etc.) and then finally I am at "Composers A-C", "Composers D-K", etc.

It sounds cumbersome, but actually it is a lot easier to press the down arrow one time then to scroll horizontally across 30 selections. You just have to have a pretty good working knowledge of your playlist tree in order to navigate to a specific location quickly.
