The standard form for dealing with orphaned playlists is to attach them to the Root as a top level playlist, but you would have seen that in Emplode.

Hmmm, perhaps it did precisely that. That would make sense. I seem to recall something to that effect. I don't recall exactly, I just remember thinking it looked like a mess in Emplode, but just fine in Jemplode. Since I expected it to be a mess in Emplode, I didn't really look closely at the nature of the mess other than to see that it didn't support the hierarchy.
