Sorry, yes - not visible enough - "clear" could have two meanings :-)

I don't think so.  That CR is about how edit of playlist entries is handled, in 
terms of changing the title or URL of an entry, once you have clicked Edit 
Playlist.  I'm now wondering why there is the Playlist (with Save button) and 
Edit Playlist (with Done Editing link).  Playlist editing seems really rough to 
me.

Currently, from clicking on a playlist in the playlists list, the user can:
1. rename the playlist and press save.
2. play or add tracks to the current playlist.
3. Delete the playlist.
4. Click edit.  Then add a new Title/URL, delete an entry, or drag and drop 
tracks to change the track ordering.  Then click "Done Editing" to return to 
the playlist.  There's no other way back, and changes are committed, even 
though on the screen you return to there is a Save button.

Hence I was suggesting that the ability to add tracks to the playlist and D'n'D 
could be done on the main playlist editing screen, and do away with Add and 
Edit Playlist buttons.

Doesn't work for me in FF2 or IE6.  I just tried again.  It doesn't scroll down 
whilst I am dragging, but if I release when the mouse is at the bottom of the 
screen, it drops the track and then scrolls down.

Pity.  Needs some way of selecting new tracks to add to a playlist.

Could open a new window to edit playlists - containing a list of playlist 
tracks and current playlist (or browse music library) so you can D'n'D between 
two lists in one HTML document?
