1. When a new playlist is created it starts playing immediately. 2. The playlist continues to play as files are added. If the end is reached before another song is added then when the next song is added play should resume from there. 3. Renaming of playlists If there's any chance of those getting done for a bit of food I'd be very happy. I'll even throw in an offer for a book from Amazon or something like that if it helps?
